Lucas Digne

[PaulWinch again]

Bonkers to sell him.

[Matt C]

Yeah let’s not sell him now, hey?

[pablo_picasso]

I still think he isn't that great in the way we play.

Against Everton he had more space than the distance between Earth & the Oort cloud.

Today was the distance between the Earth & the Sun.

Granted he has to be good enough to put in a decent cross (Matty Cash could learn a thing or two), but he has more than often flattered to deceive in the tough Prem games for us where space is limited.

But after those past two performances, its natural to be reactionary & think he is better than his previous 'however many' performances.

Which means his stock is high.

So are his wages.

Lets sell...

[Risso]

MOTM tonight and not far behind McGinn against Everton. Keep.

[TelfordVilla]

Any new signings we look to make will start their wage claim relative to our highest earner. And currently our highest earner is the reserve left back. There is no question about his ability it is simply economics.

[PaulWinch again]

Definitely keep. With Digne and Moreno our left back position is very strong. If he’s homesick then it’s different, but otherwise I’m not really up for weakening a position in the squad.

[ldavfc4eva]

For me he stays

Seems to finally be playing the way we expected him to when he signed

You can see that the team are starting to gel now too, I appreciate tonight wasn’t exactly hard, but you can only beat what is in front of you and we did so with ease.

[danno]

If he is going I just hope we get in an understudy for Moreno who we can develop, a player 23-27 age wise. Selling Digne to bring in another 30/31 year old makes little sense.

He was great tonight but let's not go too overboard. Hibs are the equivalent to a League One team. Over the 2 legs putting 10+ goals past them could easily happen.

He was also great on Saturday. I know Everton were poor too, but the quality of his crosses has been exceptionally good.

This is my teeny tiny worry about the team in general. I feel like we still don't really know where we are. I know we're nowhere near as poor as the Newcastle result made us look, and we've bounced back well, but.... Everton are shit, Hibs are nowhere near the same level as us, and now we've got Burnley on the weekend. I don't think we'll really know where anyone is until the Liverpool game. Seems highly probable Digne will be gone by then though.

[Risso]

He’s second choice behind Moreno when fit, but whilst he’s not as good going forward as Alex, he’s got his strengths eg crossing and can definitely be relied upon. Selling him and unsettling arguably our strongest position seems a bit daft to me.

[AV84]

For me, more than anything, its the timing of it. Moreno is still a few weeks off being back, and there's nobody else to play that position. Obviously the window closes when it closes, but it's leaving a massive hole in the lineup.

[pauliewalnuts]

I thought Digne was awful at Newcastle but then again, he was far from the only one.

Unless he really wants to go for personal reasons or his salary is such a colossal problem (which I doubt) then I don’t see why we would create a staffing problem where there doesn’t need to be one.

Moreno and Digne as options there is fine.

I’d be more concerned about right back.

Yes that’s it, we don’t need to create a problem where there isn’t one. We have positions, like right back, where there are gaps that need addressing.
