lexicon Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Yeah, great when he came on - seemed to win every aerial challenge today, even when he was kicked in the head and the ref gave nothing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Good having experienced attacking players like this in the squad. Clearly had an impact when coming on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWARLEY2 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 What we have to remember is that Emery and our coaches could concievably get Digne back to his peak . He is now having a load of training within this new system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Good option to have off from the bench. Disgrace to see the ref didn't blow for the foul despite him down on the ground bleeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Wonder if he might have earned a start with that performance. Looked much better than Moreno today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2003 Posted April 22, 2023 Share Posted April 22, 2023 A good reminder that it’s a POSITIVE to have ‘expensive’, experienced players in the squad even if they aren’t the expected starter at that current time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, for sure, but we are overpaying for the privilege in his case. Still, he looked excellent, and the competition at left back is clearly a good thing.

Whenever we have a player come in, who does well in a position, alot of our fans are ready to sell whoever was in their place immediately. They are different types of player, with different qualities which might suit different games and scenarios etc. Digne is only one people want to sell, due to him being the highest earner at the club and not being 1st choice. Same with Bailey, he is in the top 5 paid players at the club and has been off form or injured for 75% of the time he has been at the club. If we had bigger income and were not as restricted financially, which effects future signings, I doubt people would be bothered and more than happy at them being squad players. As mentioned in the Brentford thread, digne coming on was the reason we scraped a point and should have got a freekick which would then mean the player would have had to have been given a 2nd yellow and the ref didn't want to send him off. Ignore it and var can't intervene for a yellow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Digne is not the highest earner. He’s a great rotation option to have given his experience. Yes, we overpaid for him at the time nor should he be scapegoated for the failures of Gerrard. I don't know if he's going to be here in the summer, but if Unai rates him and wants to keep him, that's good enough for me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 If he wasn't on such a high salary, I'd love to keep him - but we can't have a backup making well over six figures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
