Confirmed Signing Lucas Digne

[BirkenheadBlue]

Before he arrives, can we all commit to saying his name properly?

It's closer to 'deen' (like Dixie), than Dig-nee like I heard on All Together Now.

Loo-cah Dee-nyuh I believe

Very pleased if we get this done, the guy has got serious pedigree.

That Mail article again states we want to play with 3 centre backs, which I just don’t understand given how crap we are at CB. Holgate, 36 year old Jags and maybe Keane (being generous) are the only half serviceable ones we’ve got.

I think if that was in the plans we may have seen it by now. Looks like 4231/433 for the time being

Everyone saying its done is forgetting he has to do an Everton medical first

That long?

 

[orly]

Should that ready dinghy ?

Lad?!?!?!

Unreal patter theft

At least that long, off the top of my head?

 

[Kenshin]

slightly misleading

bryan oviedo signed in 2012 only 6 years ago....

And he never got given a chance to push baines. He was back up and was always dropped for baines again.

I'm referring to sticking someone in the team as cover and them keeping their place if they play well or displacing someone if they aren't playing well.

Oviedo wasn't as good as baines fair enough but he was always back up and nothing more

Leroy Fer the last one I remember.

well he was given a chance he just got injured and his form was not the same again after the injury

 

[Saint Domingo]

If the fee is to be believed it could be about ten million less than Tierney.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

So five and a half years I guess

Fer has been relegated 3 times since then by the way.

For an actual guy that can you know, actually defend.

 

[BainesontoastNEW]

Fernando Polo saying this is on, too.
