Confirmed Signing Lucas Digne

[peteblue]

It might be my hoping bleeding through, but he seems legitimately happy to be here, even tho we’re a ‘step down’ from the PSGs, Romas and Barcas of the world. Im willing to bet my left sock on its because he wasnt included in the WC squad, which is great for us. If he wants to use us to prove that he should play in the best national team in the world, thats fine by me!

I think you are right about the WC, he will have been told that once he has displaced Baines he has all the games and opportunities anyone could have to try and make the National side....

Now if Walcott can get himself fit we could finally have some decent flanks.

 

[Chimpy Glassman]

This lads attitude is brilliant. I like him already.

 

[Martin Alvito]

Proper piece of business, this.

Still work to be done, but this appears to be a substantial step in the right direction.

Liverpool is a beautiful city. Some of the surrounding areas are a bit rough but then its the same in Paris/Rome/most big cities and he's not going to be living or walking around Kensington or Kirkdale is he?

He will either head to Calderstones, out towards formby or head to cheshire. Its quite strange that a lot of our players seem to head to cheshire but a good few of RS live in the City.

Alderley Edge is often the preferred choice, Nice, quiet and in decent reach of both Liverpool and Manchester. I may move there myself...

Theo's back in training isn't he?

LOOK AT THEM

Haha, why does that look so awkward?

Give the lad a break, he's been sobbing uncontrollably over how his career has panned out for the last two weeks.

Nice surprise that he's fluent in engish, help with settling in much easier.

Really happy with this deal, i know alot of people wanted Tierney but for me Digne is the much less risk for money and is still at a great age to potentially be our LB for the next 5+ years. There's a reason he got a move to Barcelona on the back of a very good season at Roma and it's no embarassment to be the back up to Alba, he could turn out to be a bargain.

Get him a decent CB next to him and we're getting on the right path.

playing four on the left may unbalance us a little

Playing two on the left hasn't really helped recently. Why not try four?!! It'd be just like those games at school where everyone chased the ball round the yard.

LOOK AT THEM

Not wearing a tie!!!!!!

What does Brands actually do?? Digne said in his interview that his agent was speaking to Steve Walsh 3 months ago.

 

[fandjango]

So happy with this
A Barca player ... still wanted by barca choses us
This is a step up towards attracting the kind of player who advances us to where we belong
Well done Marcel

 

[ProZ]

Being actually valued and first choice playing week in week out getting a rhythm going will only be a good thing for him and us.
