…”give us a V”
Mykolenko is a smarterscout young prospect, so our algorithm expects him to play at a higher level. And if Digne were staying, then having a 22yo come in eventually to succeed a 28yo would make sense. But it's not clear that Mykolenko is ready now.
Basically, this is a sensible deal if it's looking towards a future Digne sale. It's not at all a sensible deal if it's replacing Digne now (which there is no need to do).

Considering our financial position it seems doubtful we would be spending 20mil on a backup.
Digne isn’t playing, and likely won’t again under this manager.
The chairman is backing the manager and I expect Digne to be sold. He is probably the easiest to replace from our actual decent players.
I’m over not selling players. We need to improve the squad. If we end up with a future right back and left back from the sale I’m comfortable. We’re not at the top table, we have to horse trade.
The chairman isn't backing the manager. The chairman is Kenwright, who didn't want Benitez.
Moshiri, the owner, is backing Benitez. Moshiri doesn't sit on the board, he doesn't do anything other than make terrible decisions and he's in the pocket of Kia Joorabchian, a ridiculously dodgy agent.
I'm fine with selling Digne, at the end of the season. Not in January when we have other areas to fill.
We're going to have to raise some big funds through selling Digne, even though we've hit down our own bargaining power through sheer pig-headedness, and who had no desire to leave, because we've spent £17m on a left-back from Ukraine...
We shouldn't be spending that amount of money at all on a left-back when our right-back options are so poor.
Whatever.
The fact remains the owner is backing the manager. It’s all in if Digne goes which seems very likely.
Benitez aside, Everton still need to sell players for actual wonga. We need to freshen th3 squad and whoever is in charge will probably require one or more of our better players moving on to generate cash. That is a normal process in football. The fact it stopped at Everton is causing us all FFP problems.
Even at our peak we sold players. Linever was sold at his peak, Andy Gray was sold etc. It’s only recently that this process ha# been severed.
Been convinced all season that Nathan niles from arsenal will be our right back at some point. No game time and won’t be getting any. So loan to buy in January.
It is clear there is a rift between Digne and RB , none of us know the real reason why.
The manager said Digne was to be in the team against Chelsea but opted out, again we don't know the real story behind that either.
However, it hardly seems like the relationship between player and manager is pointing towards a good working relationship for the remainder of the season.
It is hard to sign good players in January, so if their differences are irreconcilable then it is a good time to sell as clubs search to strengthen their squads
Where that will leave our squad remains to be seen.
But a player who won't play isn't much use.

Welcome to Barcelonaton FC
Pretty sure he was rumoured to come on loan in the summer or at least we were linked
I’m afraid this is the truth.
I always liked Digne, but expensive resources no5 playing is killing us. Take th3 money and run.
There is more than one style of play.
Financial here or there. New accounting period. Let's say digne goes for 25m. Either in Jan or in summer. That's (without checking contract) a plus of c.15m.
This guy comes in. 20m over 4 yrs. Equals 10m liquidity.... Theoretical.
That aside. Player. No knowledge, apart from the clips. But seems like a decent Everton player.
Gets stuck in.
A unit
Pace
Some moves
Crosses
International and European experience.
All good.
Caveat - signs for Everton. All of the above, thrown into doubt.
I'm up for the risk......... Til I can boo him in person.
