2021/22 Lucas Digne

[ForeverBlue92]

Lets hope we fleece Newcastle for over £35 million for the lad.

Sad to see him go as i do like him alot

Still, we can get a good fee and use it to strengthen

We need to become better as a seller

In all fairness, I would much rather we kept Digne and Mykolenko because depth and competition is good rather than a semi like-for-like swap.

However, I can appreciate the view that Digne is now twenty-eight and we may need the money to reinvest elsewhere, so it might be the right time to cash in

My only concern is that, while Digne hasn't been at his best for a while now, is Mykolenko ready here and now to step up and move into the XI? I hope so.

The competition aspect would be good for both of them - preparing the new lad and getting Digne to perform so we could push up the fee.

25m is a joke. Going to be horrible watching his beautiful crosses in another team.

Will be loaned to Chelsea on deadline day

Well unless we’d prefer to keep him then at least his wages are being paid

This is Kean all over again

I see the windows been open for eleven hours and we’re already predicting last minute doomsday scenarios - nice one!

I thought we were past that? Cash money up front or gtf

His value will be determined by the quality of the teams interested in signing him.

I think he would be very disappointed if Newcastle was the top team interested in him.

 

[joey_macmo]

Yep. He been poor for 15 months so we are not going to get his peak value unfortunately.

Absolute fallacy that he was poor last season.

A lot of it comes down to how we are perceived as a club

Under Moyes we fleeced teams regularly I’m thinking Andy Johnson to Fulham, Rodwell to City, Naismith to Norwich etc.

Decent sides always sell their players for decent money, as teams think it’s worth taking a gamble on those players.

I think the very public slating by Benitez and rift will also knock a few quid off it unfortunately

Benitez has trashed him to the point that no one will touch him

Depends entirely on the suitors.

There are quite a few interested in him and good players are difficult to find in the January window. Clubs usually have to over pay for January players.

Given that Chelsea, Milan and Newcastle are interested I’d suggest we’ll do all right.

That's true, hadn't thought of that. If we can get 10mil more than for the new young lad I'd be as happy as I'm going to be now that I've accepted he's going
