Defensively Digne is way below the standard required and that includes last season when he was good going forward , an italian manager will get shut immediately , but we will at least get decent money for him unlike the other dross we have purchased

Or he'll coach him? If you don't think Digne is good enough then we won't have a team because he's one of the best we have (albeit been bad this season so far).
 

How anyone sees Digne as anything other than top class is a mystery to me. He's injured and he's being exposed down the left by that no paced donkey, Mina.

No coincidence that when he had Zouma over there last season he was a major threat for us.
 
He likely needs to rest to fully get over that groin injury. I suspect if Baines wasn't getting on a bit and probably isn't up to playing two matches in quick succession, then Leighton would have played yesterday.

He’s a “good” player. One of the few we shouldn’t be looking to move on.

But, even stripping out yesterday when he was clearly still not quite at full fitness, he is not top class. He’s never going to be considered one of the best 10 or 20 full backs in Europe purely because of the defensive and positional side of his game.

Defensively, he’s always been OK but can certainly be got at, and he’s been skinned numerous times this season and last by bang average wingers - but going forward he’s almost always a real threat. He’s got a hell of a shot on him and he can certainly cross a ball. In the right system, when fully fit, he’ll continue to be a fantastic asset for us.

He’s a “good” player. Nothing more, nothing less. He will be a key part of Carlo’s team over the next couple of years, but I’ll wager we won’t have the top clubs banging our door down for him, which is fine by me.
