2021/22 Lucas Digne

[T LEAFE]

Great sell to villa a rival

Villa aren't a rival
Burnley Norwich Leeds and Newcastle are our rivals

 

[ForeverBlue92]

If Villa sign Bissouma as well they will have a very solid squad.

Ings
Watkins
Bissouma
Bailey
Coutinho
Martinez
Digne
Cash

Some good players there.

Shows the importance of solid recruitment - criminal the money we've pissed up the wall in recent years.

Be a long time to fix this club/squad.

Piss poor, that.

We lost any negotiating power with Benitez carry on over this

 

[Glasshalffull]

So strengthening a team in direct competition with us by giving them a player starting for the World Cup champions at a cut price because the fatman has been slating him has no baring on us getting into Europe?

I'm gonna say it now too, Mykolenko won't come close to the quality Digne provides.

But maybe he'll pay an occasional visit to his own half, and sometimes breathe heavily, which will make a pleasant change.

Huh?

 

[EGWToffee]

A very very odd move from Digne himself.

 

[BlueToff]

Helps Gerrard - check
Strengthens a team we should be competing with - check
Shows that Digne simply doesn't want to play for Benitez and it has nothing to do with Everton - check

 

[sageyefc]

Good little squad villas building there, on paper at least. If Gerards got anything about him as a coach they’ll do well

 

[Thomasc]

Really surprised by this, fully expected him to be at a CL club abroad.

 

[BlueToff]

A very very odd move from Digne himself.

He knows he's got no way back with this manager. He had no way back as soon as he questioned tactics that had led to 1 win in 10 games at that stage.

Villa have stumped up the cash to Everton and he'll have the same fee he's on here - they won't be paying him more that's for sure, he's one of our highest earners.

Maybe he's just that desperate to get away from Benitez before the dinosaur ruins his career?

He won't be the first or the last.

As long as it's closer to 25 than 20 it's not all bad. We've made money on him and Villa will have a £150k P/W and 29 year old LB on a five year deal.

 

[BlueToff]

No European club has the money to match what Everton want. Inter would only offer a loan with no obligation.

It was either this or Chelsea and Chelsea held all the cards. Looks like Villa moved first.

he's 28 ffs

 

[wainy]

Club will only want what we’ve spent on Mykolenko thanks to the fat rat in charge

 

[Jebus_lives]

Strengthening direct rivals.

Benitez is laughing at all of us.

Get used to no European football fellas.

We're all pretty much accustomed to that.
