2021/22 Lucas Digne

[davek]

What a wonderful weekend of togger this'll be:

We win a banana skin tie
We get a home tie against Brentford next round
Helmet head Arteta is dumped out of the cup
And now we get shut of this crying get

Football really is the beautiful game.

What is Benitez doing.

 

[Richard Alex]

Eactly.
Besides i rather want a different type of winger, probably a left footer. Gray, Gordon and Richarlison all seem better on the left cutting in so is El Gazhi.
Besides reading between the lines it seems Villa have thrown him in the deal but we want cash only

Hope your right and we demand cash only.
We desperately need players all over the pitch. Centre half and centre midfielders being top priority

 

[Jebus_lives]

He should STFU and fight for his place, the spineless little bellend.

I suspect if any professional international LB had Coleman being played ahead of them at LWB, they would also be asking to leave.

You are a truly weird person, honestly.

What do you make of all this, Br0WnZ?

 

[DL100]

Bailey is settling. He's got more assists than Sancho so far this season...

Only football manager virgins would be crying at "ages". They've brought in players to win games.

Bailey isn’t settling at all, he’s been terrible this season and Sancho has only started 2 games ?

What an idiot.

We’ve just bought 2 highly rated signings for the future and your crying over us selling a 29 year old that doesn’t want to play.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

We should be getting far more than the 20m - 25m we’re getting for Digne. We’ve paid nearly the same for some untried youngster from the Ukrainian league.
The reason we haven’t is purely down to how benetiz has handled this situation.

20m would be very poor.

Benitez hasn't helped, but if a player says they want to leave it's often a knock down price.

I’m not accusing anyone of lying. Assuming what Benitez says is true and Digne refused to play for him, what happened for it to get to that state?

I don't care.

Benitez could have slapped Digne's bird on the arse for all I care mate, you don't cry off/withdraw from playing.

There's no excuse for any professional footballer, certainly one earning 128k a week to cry off.

Whatever reason he felt to be valid - it isn't.

Important to acknowledge that none of us know what's gone on - we're all guessing.

I wouldn’t class it as a master stroke but I don’t think we’ve come out it badly. Moved a 29 year old LB on and replaced him with a younger LB and purchased a RB with the money.

Digne has been poor for a long time now. I don’t get the uproar. I personally don’t think we have strengthened Villa either.

Regardless of the manager Digne would be in the same position as Coleman in Year or so and we would be complaining that we didn’t replace him sooner.

He was still one of our best performers. First name on the sheet, one of the best fullbacks in the league.

Mr Spanish Master Tactitian comes in a within a month creates an issue that was never there and has now sold him to a rival.

Leaves a bitter taste

 

[Stephenlloyd]

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.

But would have spent 55mil on a 29yr old forward and on a left back nearly 29. And they won’t get Bissouma

Every week we struggle to name a MoTM, it’s not hard to be our best performer!

Regardless of the manager this is a good deal

 

[Brownie]

I think it's a huge risk to sell Digne to Villa. He could quite easily be one of their top performers and help them finish above us. In general I think Benitez could have managed the situation much better.

Wasn't exactly that way (for better or worse) pre-Benitez though.

Sage words as always.

TBF Bailey has been poor this season and Ings has hardly played. I don’t think either have been a success.
