Digne would be good, but if he doesn’t want to come, we would have a wealth of other options (like Tagliafico) that would. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno about Colback, but he definitely got rid of Mitro because he refused to buy into his methods. That's one thing I'll always respect about Rafa, he's very clear in what he wants from his players, and his own methods, whether other people like them or not.

David Edgar Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Like PSG back then was a step down from Barca and he couldn't make that work. Seems a bit Zaha. So not saying he'd be terrible for us, just hasnt got that elite elite mentality like Trippier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Is there actually any reliable reports linking us with Digne? For all we know, he might not even be Howe's type of player, and we are just assuming because Everton have a spare LB, we must be in there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think does have question mark on mentality Everton supporting mate says that Rafa had asked him to play more defensively whereas he's always been much better going forwards. Not supporting Digne here, but that fits entirely with how Rafa builds teams and I can see some players not being overly happy with having to sacrifice their best attributes.. Howe will want to play more positively and that might suit him better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Rafa falling out with players isn't unusual; he's very particular. He effectively binned-off two or three decent players whilst he was here despite lots of fans thinking they should have been more used (Mbemba and Mitrovic springing to mind). I can see why Everton fans would be pissed off seeing as Digne is presumably well-liked, but they've already signed his replacement and you would assume that player is going to be a better fit for Rafa and his style. Just one of those cases where the personalities don't add up and it's better for everyone involved if one of the parties moved on; in this case it's the player, which suggests Rafa still has control there - for better or worse.

Because a self-imposed wage cap will stop any dreams of rising to the top. Fairly likely they don't want to piss the rest of the squad off during a pivotal period for the club. They can cry in the summer when they're shipped out instead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Pilgrim Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 200k for your left back is a bit much tbf, Taggers is probably going for about 60-70k Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

relámpago blanco Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Digne sounds like a right rectangle. Can't get in Everton side who are in the bottom half but wants to be first choice in a champions league side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
