2021/22 Lucas Digne

But Villa are doing business that will ensure their status in the Premier League, we are doing business as if we are preparing for life in the Championship.

This is my worry. I feel the manager won't be concerned with relegation as he's been there before .

I don’t think it’s surprising that City haven’t come in for him at all.

Just based on their interest last season. Was one of the big factors in Everton going to push him a new deal through as well.

What interest last season?

Before the bed wetters start fuming. Ask yourselves this. Why are Villa & previously Newcastle the only clubs willing to pay money for him?! Not one ‘top’ club are willing to pay for him. He’s a good player 100% but perhaps this shows not as good as a lot think

 

[BlueToff]

Meh, Gerrard can't stand him lol

aye another player Benitez fell out with. Tbf, it was basically when Gerrard finally gave up on him that Bentiez was sacked, wasn't it.

Make yourself feel better by arguing his form hasn't been great for a bit if you like but the reality is Villa are now a more attractive proposition than us and have taken one of our better players for what doesn't appear to be a great fee, that's pretty depressing.

We're not far off Newcastle being more attractive. Moshiri has destroyed us.

yes mate last January, they wanted rid of Mendy (I didn't know why at the time like...)

If they wanted Digne they would’ve signed him.

Never seen any evidence of this tbh, I think his attitude has been pretty spot on until the fatman arrived.

Well, I think the preference for the opposition half is self evident, but willing to stand corrected on scrambling back, if you say so.

This is very true, just watch, the narrative will be ‘he was never that good anyway’

I'd say they already are. They may be garbage but money talks.

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Don’t agree with selling to a direct rival (or what we deem “direct”).

But know we need to sell, just hope it’s as close to £25m as possible.

Yeah £25 million is decent business tbf the blokes 29 in June and has been out of form for over 12 months.

Its what we do with the money thats important - get a top class CM and proper CB in!

Biggest bulb on Everton twitter that lad.

Reckons Iwobi is a worldie.

 

[BlueVino]

I think it's decent business for once!

 

[sageyefc]

City haven't come in for him because Pep knows top level players and Lucas Digne is not one of them.

I know it’s not like he’s played for some of the biggest sides in football or for the World Cup holders
