The thread will soon pass into oblivion as he's not an Everton player anymore.
But let no one re-write this: Lucas Digne REFUSED to play for Everton when requested - when we were desperate for players on the pitch for Stamford Bridge. Others had to go down there and fight for their lives while that player sat in his living room watching a box set.
He and his agent have engineered moves in the past - at Barcleona and PSG. This was all just par for the course for him.
Utterly delighted he's gone and that we got a good price for him.
Yup, at the end of the day you’re right. I’ve been questioning players like Digne for a while now, especially their attitude and commitment to Everton FC.
We have replaced him with a younger, more hungry LB who is by the way an established Ukrainian international.
Digne is on the decline, and I don’t believe he did have 100% commitment to this club. Whatever way you look at it, he called of ‘sick’ against Chelsea when we were lacking players and then was seen at the Trafford Centre only hours later looking fine! I don’t want player like that at this club, I want players who will run through brick walls to win, to make this club succeed.
The good thing about this manager being in charge is that these players who don’t have the commitment, the desire to play for this club will be questioned and they will be shown the door, under previous regimes this never would’ve happened.
It’s a good sale imo, we are starting to see the new Everton being built. Patterson, Gray and Mykolenko are great signings, we need to get a few more out the door now (Iwobi, Keane, Slowmes, Tosun etc).
Taken just hours after his ‘illness’ that meant he couldn’t play for the club.
