Viana Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Aston Villa looking to bin Lucas Digne off after only 18 months. We dodged a bullet there, unless it was another smokescreen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the revelation he’s got a Steven Gerrard tattoo does explain why we never pressed ahead with this one. Will be interesting to see how he turns out in the division as many expressed doubts over him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I think Joachim Anderson would be a great signing. Can see it being hard to convince him though, with no guarantee of starting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do I'm sure there'll be people on here next year saying the same about them two as people are now saying about Lingard and Digne. Boring, mediocre PL experience on high wages, long contracts impossible to get rid of without massive losses in 1-2 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddison and Barnes are both far more accomplished than Lingard and Digne, mind. I’ll be shocked if either is a dud. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be shocked if either is a dud. Maddison you could argue but Digne and Lingard are both internationals with over 70 caps between them and a fair amount of European experience. Not sure why it hasnt gone well for Digne though. Glad we got neither. Its that elusive step up from a very good top half player, to very good asset in a CL chasing side. I'm not sure Maddison or Barnes will prove up to it either. Maddison perhaps, we'll see but I was never convinced he was right for us. So many factors in it, its why we see players we've seen do well elsewhere in the PL often flop at the likes of Man Utd, Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal when they get that move.

Kimbo Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Digne playing for Barca and having 46 caps for France is a mystery, I don't think he was much good at Everton either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Both Rafa and Emery dropped Digne from their starting 11s almost immediately after taking over. I think they knew what they were doing. He’s been a bit player at Villa since February. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll say Barnes has been more consistent recently than Lingard and Digne, and certainly in better form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Digne is still decent, he’s just not batshit attack minded like Moreno is, which is what Emery wants. Word on the street is we are after both Diaby and Brennan Johnson. It’s not one or the other. One weakness last season was we lacked a bit of pace. He seems to be addressing that. Have to say I am impressed with our owners. Expanding the ground, appointing Emery and putting in a whole new management structure with the likes of Monchi, who is phenomenally well regarded across Europe plus binning Purslow and bringing someone from the NBA to handle commercials, building a new academy next to the ground, investing in the youth scheme, plus making big money available for transfers. They’re going for it. Very much unlike Lerner they also realise the off field structure is vital. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 The fear of Villa is real. It'll escalate on the opening day, where Rennie sends off Shearer to the surprise of Ian Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 If he was a target just a year ago I'm be amazed if he all of a sudden absolutely isnt. Especially at that price! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon88 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Don’t get the hype with Ekitike. They signed him, and he’s been crap, hence why they want rid. In a dominant side, in a tinpot league, he’s struggled and scored 3 goals in 25 games. Awful. Glad we missed out on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
