2021/22 Lucas Digne

[Armaghtoffee]

Trevor Sinclair and comparing with Wan Basaka? Jesus wept. You'll have to do better than that mate.

No I don’t think I do Andy.

We are a better team with him in it.

 

[AndyKing58]

James and digne sold in 6 months by the fat mess.

Stripping the squad of its little creativity for plodders.

Can't wait for the day he's sacked, it's coming

Two players who want to leave, what else his is he supposed to do?

 

[AndyKing58]

No I don’t think I do Andy.

Yeah that is why we shipped 9 goals against Watford and the RS

You have it wrong mate. You have twisted to suit your agenda.

I've read the press conference word for word, Benitez is chatting so much wham and contradiction it's unreal.

"Are you categorically saying that Lucas doesn't want to be at the football club?

Benitez: I've had a couple of conversations with him, he told me what he thought. So what do you expect the manager to do when he's thinking about leaving? I will say again, fans and former players, what would Peter Reid say if a player goes to the manager he doesn't want to be here?"

Doesnt confirm he's asked to leave.

Reidy : I wouldn't have had him on the bench.

"Just to play devil's advocate then, why was Lucas Digne named on the bench against Brighton?

Benitez: Because as a manager you have a responsibility to try and do what the best is for the club. Sometimes you play for that."

Already dropped him from the squad prior.

"Could you maybe explain a little bit about why Lucas Digne wants to leave the club?

Benitez: I have no explanation."

Really?

"So you feel like he's put himself ahead of the team then? That's what you're saying?

Benitez: No what I say is that a team that finished tenth, and someone is worried about the stats, it changes nothing for me like I said before."

Absolute full of holes. Brought Reidy in so get the fans on his side after the reception Digne got on the weekend. Reidy has batted it back. Utter snake oil salesman is Bentiez dragging Reidy into it to win points.

Two players massively overrated by our fanbase that wanted to leave. Hardly a tough decision was it.

 

[Armaghtoffee]

Yeah because Lucas Digne is personally responsible for setting up the team and the performance of 10 others.

You’ll have to do better than that.

??????

Boris Johnson levels of responses there. He chose not to give a simple, yes. Wonder why? ?

Stop alienating them would be a good start.

They both, especially digne would

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I would say it most likely isn't the club Digne doesn't want to play for its Raffa, can you blame him?

Well when it only seems to be him, then yes..

 

[Carloblues]

Overated maybe, still two of our best players though

Cos he's making it up to cause conflict and make Digne out to be the bad guy.

Funny how Digne hasn't said a word...yet Benitez is making him out to be public enemy number one, in a set of events only he has spoken about .

 

[Lowste]

From what I have seen of Digne (albeit remotely), I don't think that will be a problem, but only time will tell provided he DOES go there.

I think most teams will exploit his defensive qualities if honest

And to take the heat of his own performance

 

[Neiler]

Lucas Digne, living all our dreams and sticking two fingers up to this manager.

Never fail to call out occupied Everton.

 

[kenada_blue]

And to take the heat of his own performance

Yeah. Very little response about the Brighton result...
