Lucas Digne

I wonder is that by choice or because the Acuña deal seems to be off. Either way I'd be happy for him to stay, as long as he's happy to be here.

I really hope he stays and for me only a big money offer would be worth considering.

He's too good a player to loan out especially with us thin at the back.

I wonder if Acuna doing his hamstring has put paid to any chance of Digne leaving this summer?  If he was ever going.

There was a photo of Digne at Heathrow last week. I wonder if he does have a family issue and the club are allowing him special dispensation to travel to and back from France?

Emery saying it's more likely that he'll be staying does suggest we'll only let him go if we feel that we can adequately replace him.

[Flamingo Lane]

I can't remember when Moreno got injured or how many games in which Digne started at the end of last season, but I do remember Digne being excellent in our last game v Brighton. I've said it before, but it would be quite a shame if Digne left now, not least when Moreno's fitness has yet to be seen as sustained.

Liverpool away - the game before Brighton at home.

To be fair you won't get two easier games than Everton and Hibs. The amount of space he had on that flank. Can't knock his deliveries though, some crackers in there. I'm not a big fan but I think it's a bit late in the transfer window to be making unnecessary recruitment decisions. Already a lot of impact to the squad with Mings and Buendia's injuries. Ramsey and Moreno are big losses too. Might aswell keep likes of Digne, Donk, Traore at this point given that Euro football is in the bag.

You'd have thought that the Hibs boss ("the manager of a shit nightclub in Basingstoke") would have doubled-up on Digne and forced us to use the other side more, putting pressure on Konsa to get involved and help Bailey as an attacking outlet.

Johnson must have clocked after 20 minutes that our left hand-side and Digne's crossing ability was hurting them.

[manic-road]

Yes it was against weak opposition  but Lucas put in some magnificent crosses last night just as he did against Everton, I hope he stays unless Unai can get a replacement in who is better.

[chrisw1]

Two excellent games from Digne.  At least he's still motivated.

I expect better teams to have a plan for him, but you can only beat what's in front of you.

Was he getting forward so much yesterday because Cash wasn't playing? It seems with Moreno out Cash is the one that was given the role of coming forward more, but last night that seemed to switch back to the left side allowing Konsa to stay where he was. Maybe that's how we should do it even when Cash plays.

Cash played against Everton and I thought it was still Digne’s role to get forward more. Its always the left side bombing forward more for Emery.

Fair point. I just remember a lot of people complaining about Cash being no good going forward, but maybe it was just Cash in general they were complaining about.
