People seems to be rowing backwards quite swiftly on this one today. Maybe the early thread was the curse of H&V

Need to think about punishments if it doesn’t come off. Revoking golden muppet status and a ban from starting new topics for 6 months?! 😉

And 'I Love Boris Johnson!' as his signature for 6 months. ;)

If he signs and I'll believe it when I see it. Expecting a last min change of heart not quite unwin esq but you never know.


I don't remember us signing Stanley Unwin  ;) , but he was a deep thinker when it came to football matters...

"This is a very good question and topicold. I would say that if the forward line have a symmetrical teamworkers and that they can from the first passit of the ball… take in mind the measured beat of a one, two, throo or fido… so that the ball can falollop out to the wingers and a very fine trittly how in a run and kick and carry one and shooting in the goal if they can get by without an offsiger which is known on the ref and don't throw the bottload because he's only doing his best."
Loud applause.

Hey, we'd have missed the Stanley Unwin post if it wasn't for this thread. Even if Digne doesn't materialise I should be heartiy rewarded!!!

Can see why we want him tonight. The room Targett found gimself in, but was unable to exploit shows the need for a dynamic, attacking full back and one with delivery too.

Targett is just a terrible crosses, hardly ever gets any elevation on his crosses and it just hits the first defender constantly.

Digne from what I remember does get plenty of crosses in, interested to know how many Calvert Lewin goals he's assisted in last two years.

Targett tends to slow down the game even when he has time for a first time cross.

On tonight’s evidence, can Digne play RB?

I’d be surprised if Everton let this complete before we play them.

I thought that too. Everton have no incentive to complete this deal prior to 22nd January.

Yes they do. They need the money to spend, and Benitez wants him gone.

Think we're just haggling over price, 25m is far too much. 15m ish more realistic.

And it’s not like we are signing Calvert-Lewin is it. In the end Digne is a full back, albeit a very good one. Everton are skint and they are shit and need all the help they can get.
