There’s simply no evidence for it so why must you persist? I’ve also said that if a good deal came in we should cash in. I maintain that Digne is a good squad player for us but not irreplaceable. How do you know he isn't the top earner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 We don't publicise wages for obvious reasons. Anything from those salary websites aren't accurate either. It's embarrassing that so much time once again is wasted discussing things we don't know about because Digne was signed by Gerrard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve also said that if a good deal came in we should cash in. I maintain that Digne is a good squad player for us but not irreplaceable. Again, for certain positions we can’t just pay high wages for squad players. A LB isn’t as CM for example, although Emery showed he’d rotate regularly. If we could sell Dinge, Coutinho and Bailey, we could upgrade with cheaper options. Well could be higher salaries but ok loan such as Felix.

villaglint Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Kind of worrying how many of our players seem to be on planes. Presumably he’ll be playing LB against Everton? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was said earlier that there was interest from European clubs as well as Saudi Arabia. Could Nice be one of them maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, makes no sense unless we're getting a big fee and his humongous wages covered. Otherwise we're playing without a proper left back this weekend when we have a pretty good one ready to go. Unless Acuna comes in and just slots straight into a full 90, but that would be weird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he from that part of France? Seems we're not training much this week if Bailey was off for a short break on Sunday and now Digne is off (normally Wednesday is the designated day off for most teams). Guess we must be ultra confident we can get Acuna in before Everton as seems a bit odd to me to further disrupt back 4 by selling Digne before getting any replacement in.

Yeah I wonder if photoshopped, mainly cos I don’t buy that Digne was just chatting about his impending transfer with some random.

If it's Pau then centre is Konsa-Carlos (which will disappoint 99% on here who want Cash dropped). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
