Awaymag Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Wonder if this is a smokescreen for something else? Why bid when known player doesn't want to come? Curious................ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantail Breeze Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Would be concerned if he really doesn’t want to come, not the type of signing we should be bringing in. A questionable attitude already if he’s fell out with Rafa. He’s obviously quality though and would improve us no end. But could we count on him to play if the going got tough?

TheGuv Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 If he doesn’t want to come, I don’t want him. Nor should the club want him. We’re trying to build something as a football club, as a set of supporters and as a city. Next please! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what longstaff is like, beat of luck with the Billions. Spend wisely on young players is all I would say with a resale value, that's where we have gone horribly wrong. We all thought he was a brilliant performer under Rafa with a bright future ahead. That stopped immediately and regressed when Bruce arrived. Still hold out hope for him but many a footballer like him has faded away rather swiftly. He'd be cheap and Rafa will have a plan for him at least. Whether thatll fit with what youve got is another question. Edited January 5, 2022 by Super Duper Branko Strupar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpeth mag Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Maybe we are just trying to force timescales. Everton need the money and maybe covert Longstaff. If Digne is on £130k PW that doesn't leave many options for him in World Cup year. Maybe signing Trippier and more will change Digne's view. He can't stay at Everton and a loan doesn't suit Everton and FFP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he wants to go to Chelsea, but his agent is probably keeping us as a back up option. Aye didn't think bidding on a player without knowing whether he actually wanted to come was even a thing these days. Might be trying to scare other clubs away with the price and leave us as his only option? Edited January 5, 2022 by triggs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I personally don’t think we really planned on getting a left back this month, I think the opportunity to sign Digne was one that presented itself and they tried. I would be surprised if we went for another one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Maybe agent gave indication he would be interested but then he has heard who else is interested. Definitely weird we would bid if he wasn't interested. More so that we would let it go public and with longstaff mentioned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awaymag Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I think its safe to say that rumours of a £50M budget for this window, may have been a little wide of the mark, like by £50M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People hang on Romano's every word, but while he's right more often than many, he's still dropped some clangers lately. Having an actual bid on the table could change things as well. Players are just as prone to sudden heel turns as any of us, the Trippier signing might turn his head, and if that doesn't the potential money might. I doubt we've put a bid in and made it public without reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Everton will probably be forced to accept an offer from Chelsea on far worse terms later in the window. Don’t blame Digne for holding out for that move however, or us for trying regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he understands the basic knowledge of football he will be leaps and bounds above the rest of our players. Rafa started the season strong got the players actually playing football. Seem to lost direction and having ego issues with manager and players. Exciting times for toon fans though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
