Digne has wanted out for over a year.

He is a high earner.

He's one of only few players we have that we can sell for any real money.

He has a terrible attitude.

He's been average for over a year.

His agent put it out there that he only cares about playing for France.

Why did he sign a contract extension if he wanted out. Seems an unusual way of forcing a move.

As it stands right now, he’s signed 7 players for us. I’m guessing by the end of the window, we’ll be looking at about 8/9. That’s a massive chunk of the squad for someone who’s been here 6 months.

Will we finally be able to call him a crap manager without pushback from his disciples when we’re still crap after January?

We're just looking to cross off lines in Benitez Bingo

He only got to spend £1.7m
Wait till DCL is back
Wait till he has his own squad

His Newcastle side were in top 7 form in the 2nd half of the season before he left. Almiron, Perez and Rondon were superb together. His defence and midfield battled hard.

“If you analyse my teams, they are aggressive, they go on the front foot and press, and try to regain the ball high up the pitch, create chances and score goals. And, at the same time, keep the balance. Keeping the balance between defence and attack is key for winning something. Not just winning games, winning trophies."

What team is he talking about here? This definitely doesn't describe us.

I don't think we've played a single game on the front foot. Not even gonna touch the creating chances and scoring goals bit...

Dumb dumb dumb.

Carlo found out last season the team can't attack and defend in a balanced way, it was one or the other. The more attack approach meant we were awful defensively...the more defensive, the more games we won. The man said so himself.

This clown doesn't see that and will keep doing the same thing over and over and we'll lose more than we'll win.

He can't even get them to do one or the other. We are crap even when he sets us up camping behind the ball. At least Allardyce knew how to make that work even if it was cancer to the eyes.

Yes and also players who are coached to defend properly at set plays and to move for the ball in possession.

This is the biggest disappointment to me. I didn’t think a side under Benetiz would be exciting to watch, but I thought we’d be organised at the back and difficult to break down. We are neither.
