Surely we're not letting Digne go at this point? That's madness if true. No recognised LB with Moreno out.
Acuna deal should be done today
Sounds like we're still apart on the fee unless there's been an update?
Premier league deadline is midday on a Friday so I think it's more realistic we tie up Acuna deal next week although not sure if he'll be eligible for Hibs game.
It's a strange one with the FBs.
We knew from late May that Moreno wouldn't be around for start of the season (hopefully he's only 2-3 weeks off) and released Young so everyone assume a versatile FB would be signed at some point in July but hasn't happened and now very tempting interest in Digne from Saudi.
While he's still here Digne needs to continue starting games just for the balance and give Pau time to get used to premier league from CB as we need him to develop into the presence Mings was for us so rather do that than LB.
Everton won't be able to hurt us like Newcastle but they're still a team who can create on counter attack so it's a bit concerning to me we ended last season with a fantastic defensive structure and now it's looking a bit scratch and ragged so early on.
