Popular Post Pablo_2531 Posted January 11, 2022 Visiting Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 11, 2022 4 hours ago, TRO said: Good, Honest post.....is it because we are twinning Birmingham with Liverpool?... just kidding Brummy humour. Its natural, that Liverpool fans will watch us with Intrigue.....and Naturally, we will watch back, to see how long we have SG. But SG has to perform, well for us, for Liverpool to have any real Interest as SG as their manager.....and I also believe, so satisfy our owners burning ambition too. The one thing, I have always admired about Liverpool, is the pursuit of betterment....never settling for second Best.....I am hoping with NWSE we are too on that train, albeit further down the line. Sure success comes with a sense of entitlement at times but that can be a by product of the pursuit of trophies. I have not watched Lucas with close scrutiny, but it appears he is an upgrade on what we have.....so, I hope it goes through. best of luck to our sister club.... Ha ha I’m not sure about sister. Il be happy if Klopp stays at liverpool for a very long time as whoever comes in after him has got a hell of a job on his hands trying to compete with city an Chelsea with a fraction of the budget. don’t get me wrong but I’ve seen plenty of poor liverpool teams but been fortunate to watch some quality ones too! I don’t think many would begrudge villa a rise up the league an I honestly think digne is a quality player. I know managers need courage in their convictions but with Rafa he is so **** stubborn if he has had a fall out he will not back down. digne deffo improves villa I’m pretty positive if he signs in a months time every villa fan will be saying the same thing. ps defo getting a few quid on you sat..United can’t ride their luck like that again 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiry and light on his feet. And after watching his videos he is lightyears quicker than Mr Targett. This should prove to be a very astute signing . Wierd that he is excited to play for Gerrard but then i reversed it in my head . The equivalent of say McGinn being excited to play for Zidane. Its easily understood then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder why he fell out with Rafa so badly. I would like his ability to heal from an injury. “Initial estimates suggested that it would take Digne anything up to three months to return to action after sustaining ligament damage in training back in late November. But on Saturday, barely six weeks after undergoing surgery, the France international made a remarkable comeback in Everton’s 2-1 FA Cup third-round victory against Rotherham. “It’s way ahead of schedule,” Everton’s head of medical, Danny Donachie, tells The Athletic. “It was a significant injury Lucas had. He ruptured the medial and lateral ligaments but he also had a significant fracture in his fibula.” World-renowned surgeon James Calder operated on Digne and had suggested a timeframe of around 12 weeks for his recovery. But the left-back had other ideas…” 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I don't remember reading about Digne falling out with any other manager's before Rafa. I think this is as much on Rafa as Digne. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is as much on Rafa as Digne. It's quite clearly a difference of opinion in football terms. Rafa wants full backs to be defenders and to primarily focus on that. Digne is primarily an attacker and wants to be key to creating chances further up the field. If Digne did what Rafa wanted his game would suffer the year of the World Cup in an outdated tactic with a flat back 4 of "defenders". He wanted to play to his strengths and they had a falling out. Rafa is saying Digne doesn't want to be a team player and do the role he's asked to do. Nobody is right or wrong here. Technically they are both right. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand Rafa is very much from the Paul Lambert school of man-management so not overly concerned with Digne. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Hope he is available for sat if he signs. Would like digne to start if signed in time. Targett was pretty poor on Monday night 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm imagine you are like Peter Griffin when he hurt his shin. If Everton's medical man is saying goodbye, then it must be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
