duke313 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 He looks solid defensively, more so than Digne. With Mings injured Pau won't be playing LB for the foreseeable. So, we would have Acuna for defensive LB and Moreno for attacking LB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only assume Digne has expressed an interest in leaving for the saudis otherwise i see no real benefit unless wages for acuna will be lower (which, lets face it, is incredibly likely) Incidently he does have a very Luke Shaw type build. reckon he'll be a right chunker a few years after retirement It's likely to be half the transfer fee we get for Digne and 75% or less of the wages. Makes a big difference for FFP. The other player we need to do this with is little Phil as he is a FFP killer too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge success for us regarding FFP if we can get Digne and Coutinho off the books by end of August. With Digne I'd rather wait a few more weeks until Moreno is pretty much fit though. Hopefully the saudi interest is Gerrard wanting him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Let’s see if this actually has legs as the Digne to Al Hilal rumour has been circulating for almost 2 weeks now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) I wouldn't be too concerned about his age. The days of quality players being over the hill at the top level in their early 30's are long gone. He'll be 32 in October. Kyle Walker is 33 and Trippier will be 33 in a few weeks, just two examples of full backs well into their 30's still at the top of their game in the Prem/champs league/internationals.

bose Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I think he’s gonna be an excellent signing. His age doesn’t bother me - we want success now, not just in 5 years time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyM3000 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Can't say I fully understand this considering our issues elsewhere but it must indicate that for the most part we will play 3 CBs (Konsa RB) and the LB will do a lot of running up that wing, maybe he plays LM with Moreno sometimes. He is almost 32 and while I don't mind that so much Moreno isn't exactly young either so I hope its not a high fee or long contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
