Different people running things but we saw with Ings, if you can get rid of a player that is seriously damaging your wage structure then I think we do it. Even if it is (gasp) an FFP loss in the short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchy Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) Not sure if mentioned previously but he seems to have dropped the No 27 shirt and now has the No 12 shirt. No 27 player incoming perhaps? Doesn’t Ivan Fresneda where the 27 shirt? Could be Gourna-Doiath from Salzburg too. Or he just fancied the No 12 Edited August 9, 2023 by burchy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Monkeypuzzle Posted August 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2023 I'm hoping the squad number change is an indication that he is staying. He was great for us last season and is competition for that left back spot who offers something different to Moreno. There were plenty of times when Moreno was available but Emery started with Digne instead due to tactics. Forget the silly nonsense people make about his wages, he isn't a bench warmer, he's a valuable squad member who plays regularly for us. I hope he stays. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think we will actively look to sell but if the moneys right and he isn’t getting any younger then I can easily see us selling him… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post blandy Posted August 11, 2023 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2023 I’ve noticed a few people using his wages as a kind of measurement of costs. I think to avoid confusion we should standardise it. Kind of like this: Digne Huge Unknown Total Weekly Unit, or a DHUTWU for short. 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Was he partly at fault for any of our goals? Or was he decent and stronger than the other 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) I think he was one of our best players today. Not that there was much competition. Cash on the RB was abysmal. Edited August 12, 2023 by DeepDish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummybloke Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Got a stupid yellow after 9 minutes, wasn't that bad, far better than a lot of the team today. No yellow and he can be a bit more aggressive. Easy yellow for kicking the ball to stop a thrown in.. should be fined for that, it was just stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grobs Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Thought he was our best player today with diaby. Actually played like he gave a toss 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) I hope its a good fee for digne Hasnt been great fir the money and wages spent but that goal vs united alone justifies the fee! Edited August 15, 2023 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 If we sell him, we're signing Acuna. If we sign Acuna, we're selling him. Be interesting to see which happens first. It's effectively a trade with money on top, and I'd argue Acuna fits our style of playing better so it's a double win for us if it happens. Digne just doesn't have the energy to match Moreno, and with our right back situation the way it is, it's much easier for us to have an attacking left back that provides us width, and a defensive right back, which is a role Konsa can fill.

duke313 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I've no issue with Digne, i'd be happy enough to keep him, but also not bothered if he left. If we can move him to SA, and get someone like Acuna in cheaper wages and more suited to Emeryball. Then it will only benefit us in FFP terms, so can only be a good thing.
