Confirmed Signing Lucas Digne

[Berenger]

Haha, why does that look so awkward?

It’s because the size of Brands’s torso makes it look like a signing for the under 12’s

 

[Connor]

Haha, why does that look so awkward?

Brands is a terrifying presence, can’t blame Lucas for being scared

 

[Nymzee]

Haha, why does that look so awkward?

Wasn’t even his signing.

LOOK AT THEM

I’m all about these pictures. Looks hilarious.

Former team mate Gana welcomes "his little one"

Haha, why does that look so awkward?

looks like Digne's barber bailed on him midway through the job

 

[toffeejack]

Ha bless, he looks so scared

 

[FCBarça]

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.

Depends on the player, buybacks are primarily for youth, cantera or players they want to give more minutes to for development - Digne does not fit any of those criteria, he was brought in as a backup to Alba. It's good business for Barcelona which is not often - €16 million purchased, sold 2 seasons later for €20.2 + €1.5 in variables

Enjoy, he plays hard and has a good attitude

Sounds stupid, but glad the lad can speak English

 

[Berenger]

Delighted with this. Remains to be seen how he settles in etc, but nobody can have any complaints.

Loving the fact that we have a transfer strategy now. Things coming together.

Welcome Digtanian he looks a very solid addition indeed. I hope we can do the same in CB and CM.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

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

The whole "we're ****, let's take every available opportunity to put our club down" thing is getting REALLY boring.

 

[Bourney]

I don't know too much about this lad the Barca fan's don't rate him from what i can gather solid defensively but not very effective going forward

 

[Highland toffee]

Just me or does he look like gerrard deulofeu?

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Top signing which instantly improves our first XI, just like Richarlison. If it takes this long to complete this type of transfer then so be it, I'd rather we get quality than panic and buy guff like last summer, even if that means going into the season with the likes of Keane and Schneiderlin. Hopefully it won't come to that though.
