Lucas Digne

[Drummond]

Apparently contract signed and to be announced this morning.

I imagine he wouldn't have posted what he did unless there was ink dry...

[Drummond]

Oh and just a thought, but I wonder whether there's scope for Digne and Targett in the same team with Digne further forward. Particularly if we're playing a team like Liverpool and have a need to strengthen the left against TAA and Salah..

Done and dusted! Confirmed!

[Dave P]

Welcome Lucas.  Please be the best French player we've ever had.  Admittedly that won't be hard.

Aston Villa est tres bonne Lucas.  Love Matthieu Berson.

Welcome Lucas!
I know the name but not the player as I don't watch any pl teams other than Villa. He should be pl savvy.
I've little idea as to whether he'll be an upgrade. That may well depend (certainly defensively) on the midfield player covering him. Judging by the way our manager sets up the team that could be Ramsey and he's been found wanting.

Welcome Lucas, I wish you well, oh btw, keep away from a certain G. Agbonlahor.

Hot scoop from his first interview - apparently at Villa Park "the grass is amazing".

Have that Everton!!!

He must have something to have played so many times for France at a time when they are World Champions.

Not sure if it's been said already, but let's hope he lives up to his name and is 'digne du maillot'.

Welcome Lucas! Great left peg - now a DM and we're looking good. I think he'll help a lot with better crosses into Watkins.

Welcome to Aston Villa Lucas.

[sid1964]

Welcome I hope that you are brilliant

Great comment, makes-up for all his talk about "the project".

Also "I came here for the manager" - further proof that Gerrard was always going to help us attract better players.

Welcome Lucas, be great.
