Same. I think people are reading, "Digne prefers Chelsea" as, "Digne does not want to come to Newcastle."
Whereas he may be totally open to the idea of signing for us, but would prefer a move to London should the opportunity arise.
Well known fact that Hope is in total control of all things NUFC and Douglas, Edwards, Waugh et all are vastly Inferior. There's nothing they can do about it, they can only accept it.
Only way we have any chance of getting Digne is if Benitez stays in the job. If he gets the chop a new manager brings Digne back into the side.
Unless he's had his head turned already.
Slightly off topic but I'd imagine if we're in no immediate rush to get a striker in then I assume ASM will be fit to go up top v Watford.
Or I could be totally and utterly wrong as per.
I was canny chuffed with Viduka like. I mean, a million miles away from ecstatic but on a freebie I thought it was a canny coup.
Shame he was largely gash for us.
