2021/22 Lucas Digne

[davek]

Once possibly, but definitely not enough to know if it would work. Newcastle away last year I think

Digne played left midfield in front of Godfrey a couple of times last year, the win at Wolves was one that I remember.

He's certainly an asset for those crosses.

Basically Baines played there in his career with Pienaar and left sided CBs like Distin covering him.

I said kean not Keane.
So what wouldn’t he sell players he rarely uses, to raise funds?

Oh sorry my bad.

Yeah that money won't come in for another 18 months and is subject to a few clauses such as regular champions league qualification.

After Carragher, Arbeloa and Finnan were used before Johnson arrived, so I hold my hands up to the @MikeH72 point.

I like Steve Finnan. Solid, consistent and dependable. What happened to him?

 

[Theoneandonly]

Ben White is definitely not a goalkeeper

Sorry got my players mixed up, I meant Ramsdale.

I like Steve Finnan. Solid, consistent and dependable. What happened to him?

I think age crept up on him didn't he. He was a great no nonsense defender.

 

[FrenchDarrenBent]

Strange how he made it to two CL finals, four (??) semifinals, a narrow miss in the league, consistently top four btw, whilst only signing bums & nitwits.

Well, from what I and others have seen from this group of players over time the very last thing they need is a manager with high emotional intelligence who'll molly coddle them even more.

My way or the high way, one size fits all approach to people management it is + throw in a good bit of shouting for extra measure. Great

He knocked a poor old woman over.

His record shows that it works.

Everywhere is touting around 30 mil. I don't think we will get more.

With keepers unless your branded as the world's best, they generally don't command huge fees.

People will point to Ben White but he's 3 years younger than Pickford.

Pickford is a great shot stopper, but he's also unpredictable, loses his head a lot and is inconsistent.

We'd get around £40m+. Pickford is England's number one, high profile, still approaching his peak. If we didn't get a bid close to £50m we'd keep him as there'd be no point selling.

He knocked a poor old woman over.

I had to google that. Was that what killed his career?

 

[DanEFC92]

Kiss and make up

Need an in form Digne

 

[Efcjake]

How did it end up the last time a Spanish manager tried to wage war against our left back?

I can't remember. Which one is still at the club @davek ?

I'm not sure. It cant have helped.
