So we're willing to accept a drop in the level vs Digne as the trade off for FFP savings is worth it I’d keep him as just said but I understand this logic and we have to make some decisions like that.

I trust Emery and Monchi to make the right decisions. If we save money this season with FFP it gives more headroom in future windows 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Glad he's played well again. Perfectly fair to note it's been against two shite sides, but he couldn't do more than being asked of him right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we're willing to accept a drop in the level vs Digne as the trade off for FFP savings is worth it Because he's played well against the worst PL side I've seen since 2016 Aston Villa and League One level Hibs with Lee Johnson as manager, it doesn't mean Digne is a great PL player all of a sudden. The first thing Emery did was replace him in the XI. His limitations are known and often seen. It won't be every game he's invited to nothing but ping crosses in - clearly he's good at that. Understandably, Digne wants to play with the World Cup coming up and he's not going to a huge amount here if Moreno is fit. No chance Emery agrees to a worse left back coming in for financial reasons. Especially when it's not going to be a sale. If it was a solid fee of £15m or whatever, there's an argument to make. Not a loan we won't benefit much from at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJBOB Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) I think Unai wants a different sort of LB, but the market for them is not that great as we've seen if we're in for the likes of Acuna and Tavares. Digne is clearly not downing tools so if he stays, then great - we have an option against teams sitting back and letting him have space. If the Evertons and Hibs of the world are content leaving him unmarked to calculate his taxes from his astronomical wages and then put in a cross, then even better. If not - then I hope we get at least an equal replacement in. Edited August 23, 2023 by DJBOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Digne can't have done much more to plead his case than the last two games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably comment on lots of different performances, Digne included, soz. I advise you judge on reality instead of preconceived notions though, you'll enjoy things more. 5 minutes ago, Leeroy said: Oh, and keep sending the team sheets in 10 minutes before kick off, there's a good lad. 10 mins?
