2021/22 Lucas Digne

[USABlue]

Absolute shame

 

[kenada_blue]

Don't know what funnier....him turning us down or the fact he think he can play for west ham or Chelsea.

Or the fact Paella Man wants him that badly.

Or that Downie has gone all Azul

Says who? Romano said it was non pas for Newcastle

Says sky sports …. He probably won’t go there but that’s who is reporting it !

I can't believe it's a minority opinion on here to think that Lucas Digne is a very very average player.

What irks me most is that the consensus is he's not a great defender, which he isn't, but he's not great going forwards either. He can't dribble, he's slow and he's as guilty as anyone for being negative in possession. His strength is crossing, and he's not been doing that well for the last 18 months.

I could swear he becomes peak Roberto Carlos the longer he doesn't make an appearance for us.

Maybe because every metric put him as one of the most creative in Europe before he had to suffer Benitez’s negative ways

Three assists since January 2021, and that was playing for Ancelotti's great buccaneering side too.

Or to tell the whole story, 7 in 30 games last year and amongst the highest for crosses, chance created forward passes

 

[Dixieslaces]

A bit on the young side.

Dont tell Iceland!

 

[Kev The Rat]

Assume the club want to sell to Newcastle as they are the only ones offering a fee?

 

[willo30]

Imagine he goes to Newcastle then Benitez gets the boot and ends up there.
Not too far fetched as they love him up there.

That is the whole story. He got 4 assists the first 10 games and 3 in the next 20. How you could not see the drop off in his performances pre-dates Benitez is beyond me.

Then again, you've wanted the manager out from the beginning, so why bother trying to be logical.

And you’ve been cheerleader for a manager that has us worrying about a relegation fight, speaks volumes

Who's the rat linked with today?

If we get him out quick enough we can get a CB and CM in and take advantage early in January. But no doubt this will take until the last 24 hours of the window.

 

[Littlesue]

Digne posting pics and video's yesterday in a seaside amusement arcade and a Sealife Centre, he not off to Bournemouth is he? Lol

 

[The Hibbert Agenda]

Hope the sale happens as soon as possible, it's now just a circus.
The guy is easily our most replaceable player who will bring in decent money - for everyone who's upset about the friendly nature of the club, this is the kind of ruthless transfer decision that needs to be made. Rather him than Richarlison, DCL or Pickford at the moment.
Those bemoaning that the transfer is happening at all -- how are you actually expecting the incoming transfers to happen this window? Someone will have to go, and unfortunately it won't be Delph etc.
