[ProZ]

Speaks better English than me wasn’t eaxpecting this.

What does this mean for Baines?

Stoke City?

A left back!!!! And a good one at that! A Richarlison/Digne left hand side looks very exciting to me.

Agree, Walcott and Coleman on the right is a quality pairing too. Just a shame about everything inbetween. Hopefully we at least fix half of it (2 CB's or 1CM & 1 CB) before the deadline

WE

HAVE

AN

ACTUAL

LEFT

BACK

Who doesn’t qualify for a pension.

Does make you wonder though why it's only being sorted out this late in preseason if that's the case..

Probably haggling over the price to Barca

 

[trueblue84]

Me too, love it. Manchester is an absolute hovel though.

Harsh. Manchester has some nice parts as well. It'd be like someone judging Liverpool on what anfield (area) is like.

Fun fact.. anfield was used as the location for the Sacha Baron Cohen film "The Brothers Grimsby". Obviously, the real Grimsby wasn't horrible enough.

that is a packed left side....i fear for the right

Astonishing really. What he really meant was that PVA/Schlupp or some other yard dog that has played for him before wasnt available.

playing four on the left may unbalance us a little

Haha fixed!

Well unless he was going to buy a time machine and travel to the future and get Digne when he was made available I am not sure what the link is here?

We first contacted his agent two months ago...

Barca not an easy club to negotiate with I imagine. They like things like buy back clauses etc. But I'm sure for some it will all be our fault it's taken so long.

If he can recapture his form at Roma he'll be brilliant. In fact if he was still at Roma he'd probably be a world champion right now and we'd have zero chance of signing him.
