What a player, proper class. He is a much better all round player than Baines ever was, sorry but its trus.
Why is it people can't admire both?! Baines was easily our best players a few years ago. Not his fault we kept giving him new contracts while not signing a back up. Baines has been , along with Cahill my favorite Everton players of recent times. Should he still be our #1 LB ...of course not but it's pretty crass to run down his previous contribution. Digne looks to be a tremendous player. If he surpasses Baines at his best ....he'll be a legend ! I hope he does !
 

He he he, a few rattled here now.

Baines has always been average at best at defending, Digne is a much better defender.

Alright Leighton lad!!

I didnt have a pop a Baines, im just saying this lad we have now who played for Barca and PSG, is a better allround player than Baines.
 
to be fair to pabbers, baines was never a great defender he was just boss going forward, digne IS a better defender than baines ever was ( not saying he's a better player like time will tell )

I agree with this. As good as Baines was going forward and linking with pienaar he was always guilty of standing off wingers and allowing crosses to come in.

I think he will be a far better player. I think he already is to be honest.
 
The club has to move on. Baines was a great player for the club, but now too old. We have a much young LB who looks very good and should be 1st choice fro many a season.
