He'll be open to Saudi next summer too The amount of assumptions stated as fact on here always surprises me! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise keep him. He is a very good player. Very good is stretching it, I'd say. He's good. Useful. Now Moreno is very good. He improved us no end when he came in and replaced Digne last season.

cheltenham_villa Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 My worry with the recent obsession people have over amortisation is it clouds the fact that we will be losing a lot of money on Digne. Someone is paying for the losses, we shouldn't lose sight of that. We need him off the wage bill, we should really think about this before putting more Money into signings like a dendonker, acuna etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) Never should have sanctioned this signing in the first place, given his age and wage cost. Made no sense. No wonder Purslow got sacked. £30m down the drain. Edited August 22, 2023 by villa89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People think they're being clever by talking about FFP and workarounds, but they can't see the wood for the trees sometimes. I saw a post about offering Traore a new contract to make room on FFP. Another 3 year Traore deal would be at least £10m. Giving yourselves £2m of FFP headroom doesn't help if you're then paying out £10m to a player of minimal use you'll be releasing anyway. FFS FFP! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalfTimePost Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 (edited) How can we be pushing to sell him with our squad as thin as it is?

Well, I also think the club have concerns about what he earns too, but the last few matches have been his best performances of his entire villa career.

DJBOB Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Bold of Everton and Hibs to let Digne do the one thing he's really good at - pick and choose his crosses in a training session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did the owners, sporting director or manager come out and say this, people to easy to believe ever rumour online, most possible made up by some spotty kid in his bedroom. If the club was that concerned they wouldn't of given him the contract he's on, he's just the new scapegoat for fans, previously mings and McGinn. All our players have a price and if we get an offer the club will consider them, doesn't mean there trying to push players out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
