January Transfer Thread 2020

He can play left-back if we want to play him there. I think he's better at left-back. The home-grown aspect is a big one, the home-grown factor is why clubs get linked with the likes of Callum Wilson and Ake. It is why we looked to the future HG factor and spent big on Alex Iwobi.

hes played 4 games as left back in 3 years so why would you think hes better there? do you watch every Bournemouth game?

No, I don't mean a rumour I mean there may have been contact from other clubs and it's turned his head. I can't understand his massive drop in form. I literally can't think of a single game off my head he has played well this season.

players are human, they can have bad runs of form. cant believe everyone seems to want to cash in on digne as soon as he has a bad patch.

I particularly like the one about selling our first choice French International left back and replacing him with a centre half

I feel it’s author has a bright future on here.

It is my opinion that he is a vibrant attacking defender with pace and good physical attributes, 24, who has 13 caps for the Netherlands and is home-grown. He has been linked with Arsenal and Man City and a return to Chelsea. No, I do not watch every Bournemouth game. The fact that you even ask that shows you are looking for an argument, you must be bored. It is not about me wanting Nathan Ake, it is about us replacing Digne in the event we choose to sell him, and there aren't many established home-grown youngish players around for sale. If we move the likes of Sigurdsson and Schneiderlin on, or even Digne, it would be wise to sign players that fit the home-grown criteria. He can play left-back which is something you wish to deny, nevermind.

I think it's the fact the made up story is suggesting a payment of 3 times his value. If you make up a story valuing him at £30m then maybe people can make up other answers.

And yet Iwobi is Nigerian and Ake Dutch,but you already know that.

 

[witchdoc187]

Can't believe digne has gone to Chelsea for £10m and we're signing Ake to replace him for £78m. Gutted. Brands out

 

[Zatara]

Going to PSG in the summer by all accounts.

Wouldnt shock me...hes been promised a move this summer.

@catcherintherye wanted him but Id be after Romagnoli.

Would be interesting also now who people want a new CB to partner...

Good contribution. It was not me advocating selling Digne. I am just aware of the FFP and Home-Grown factors while most posters want to sell every home-grown player we have.

 

[TheFinnFan]

Digne going to Chelsea or PSG????
Good. Id be happy if we got £25-40m

We aren't selling Digne and replacing him with a centre half who can cover left back in an emergency.

Errr OK mate. Iwobi had been at Arsenal since 2004 when he was 6 years old so qualifies as home-grown. Nathan Ake joined Chelsea when he was 15 years old so also does. But cool, I am impressed by your knowledge.
