Lucas Digne

[ASHTONVILLA]

lovely job getting our signing sorted quickly again.

Feel sorry for Targett, but I think we know we need an improvement on this position attacking wise.

Nest one please.

I think Targett will get game time still. Horses for courses.

Both good players, but very different attributes, Digne will play further forwards and do more attacking than defending. Can see Targett coming on when we are holding onto a lead and trying to close a game out. Can also see him playing in games where Gerrard uses a different formation.

Read an interview from Lucas - he cant wait to be part of the "project" (he said this about 6 times)

I thought a project was something that you did at school

They're doing a papier mache zoo at Bodymoor this week  and he didn't want to miss out.

[Risso]

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..

I'd have to say that barring injuries, almost certainly not. Digne has been bought because Gerrard clearly feels we need an upgrade on Targett. If you play them both, then somebody either in the midfield or forward three isn't going to get a game, so you'd still have the left back you identified as a problem, and you'd be replacing somebody like Luiz or Ramsey with an out of position left back. Never going to happen.

Digne is a fine player, and an upgrade on Targett.

This has been a great transfer window.

If we can get that quality defensive midfielder over the line then it will have been an excellent window and will have been a real statement of ambition.

Welcome Lucas. Project Top Six up and running!

From Six to Sanson our track record to date with French players has not been particularly good.

Let's hope for an outcome on Sat. similar to Didier Six's home debut.

Jean II Makoun was good

I'm a Didier Agathe man.

I remember Six scoring versus Stoke at VP. Was it his only goal for us? I can't remember.

And an amazing home debut against none other than Manure
