2021/22 Lucas Digne

I just wonder how hard Mina has tried to be fit for this manager tbh.

Tbh it's amazing how players suddenly get fit when a manager they respect is in the dug out.
Tell me why would any of them run through a brick wall for Benitez now.

Possibly. He really got on with Donachie that's for sure.

People can have a go at players not playing unless they're 100% but when you have Mina's record, why would you want to risk it?

He came back with like 3 days' training for the Arsenal game and look what happened.

And just to stress again, we do have a fitness coach who works on the theory players should only ever be 85% fit...

 

[jinkyali]

No, they wont. And they wont have a choice in it.

Cheers Dave. Good one.

 

[john jako]

Yawn.

A very boris Johnson response

Thread should be in World Football

 

[Cameron Manning]

100% deserves a good reception when he is back

Terrible attitude, but was at times captain for the club and given a 5yr contract not long ago. Doesn't add up to me. Always plays with passion and has been one of our best attacking players since the day he joined.

Read the statement, he didn't want to leave at all.

You can read the statement without believing it.

Imagine defending a fat Kopite rat with 1 win in 12 who is assembling a fine championship squad.

 

[davek]

You’re an embarrassment.

You're the one into Digne's Mills and Boon BS prose, not me.

A player who refused to play for the club and you're upset over him leaving. How are YOU not embarrassed?

classy statement from Digne who until very recently has been a model pro and a terrific footballer for us! sad to see him leave

You’re siding with a Kopite who is universally unpopular with the fanbase over a player who’s done relatively well for us over the years. I’d be ashamed of myself to be an Evertonian and be siding with that rat.

 

[Nymzee]

The only reason people questioned his attitude is because he apparently refused to play the Chelsea game. Who said that? Benitez. What is Benitez known for? Lying, manipulation, conflict, turning everything onto others.

 

[Jebus_lives]

Whatever you say. Keep defending players that have let this club down and I'll keep calling them out for the fakes they are.

Of course you will Dave. You'll keep throwing our players under the bus because it gets you attention from the forum. And you'll keep supporting a manager you've called a lunatic, a fraud, a peddler of anti-football, a conniving, manipulative fcuker, because it gets you attention.

Someone once said about kopites defending Benitez at the end, that they're like the Hitler Youth street fighting in Berlin in 1945. Strange. strange creatures.

I can see the resemblance. Because, like you, Kopites crave attention.

 

[Dad watched Dixie]

Classy well written statement from the Aston Villa PR team.

Fixed it for you.

 

[jackyboy]

I think it's probably more to do with the way he's been treated by the club.

Like it or not Covid has happened and it's changed a lot of peoples lives. He has had two children here.

We are allowed to be nice people and get results or not get results.

All opinions of course. It's just getting a bit close to "Where were you when Digne left?" for me.

A manager didn't fancy a player and we got the fee we wanted. Just feels like everything has been ramped up because of the general disdain for the manager.

 

[Charro]

Yawn.

Just saying mate. Would be nice to keep the right wing dog whistling to the current affairs forum.
