Lucas Digne

[pauliewalnuts]

Good player but there is talk of a bust up which is not ideal. We’ll see, but I’d be happy to see him sign.

Think this seems wide of the mark. Reading Everton’s forum, he’s been an ultimate professional and then Benetez takes against him and throws him under the bus. But then they don’t really have much time for Benetez up there!

Paellardyce, as I've seen him described.

That's marvellous.

Football humour, at times, it's the absolute best.

Hope we sign Digne, an upgrade on Targett for sure. Can see him and Coutinho linking up well on the left.

There isn't much evidence he is better than Targett over the last 18 months.

[Clark W Griswold]

To be fair, targetts best games were when there was loads of space in front of him created by the rat.

Yes, it’s something I’d come to realise considering he was voted by some as our player of the season last season (which I thought was OTT despite his improvement on the season before), and the fact that this season he’s been pretty mediocre. Grealish occupied a lot of opponents on that side making life a lot easier for him.
Anyway I’m sure Digne will be an improvement and I’m not too worried about the age as full backs often go on well into their 30s if they look after themselves.

It looks like we mean business (despite me never watching other teams unless they're playing us, so I have no idea whether he's any good).

Well that’s brilliant. I’m the same.

Please put some more effort into it.

Could he be the one to break the curse of the French player at Aston Villa?

[Bad English]

My best mate is an Everton fan and has just texted to say that if we buy him that’s our friendship over!

Did you text him back to tell him to act in a more digne-fied manner?

Ha! You will be aware that 'digne' means exactly that in French!

Well done. You’ve gone and well and truly fuck things now.

Quality player, lovely left peg. Interesting where Targett ends up.

Is there a touch of Staunton with Digne?

Is there a touch of Staunton with Digne?

Nowhere near as good a left peg but quicker.

I think he wants Digne to get forward less and stand behind the keeper in open play, such is the defensive nature of Rafa.  They also need to raise a few quid but the way Rafa has spoken about Digne, hopefully the price will come down a bit as he clearly wants him gone.

[itmustbe_it is!]

We have to upgrade the fullbacks to play the way SG wants to play.

This is the salient point here

Not a chance if you read the first few pages of this season at Everton Clicky

I think he will be a good signing for us I trust in Steven Gerrard's transfer business.
