That was the gamble with signing him in the first place, he would have to have two good seasons at least for us to have been worth the money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've signed guys like Payet and Alexis Sanchez from premier league clubs so could add Digne to the wage bill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he’s not quite Turkey material so maybe a subsidized loan to France. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thabucks Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Way bigger issues than Digne. Creativity, intelligence and winning mentality are sadly lacking with this squad a few aside… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the wage will be an issue IF we won't go down from 120 to say 80 but 5 million is taking the piss it will be 10-15 at least. My prediction if he does go then it will be to a very big club as a backup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodders0223 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I'd love to know what clubs will drop money and match 3 years of 100k - 150k on a 30 year old left back who's been rubbish for about 30 months. Whether that's back up at a top club or at a club worse than us You're living in cuckoo land man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterSw Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 If I remember correctly, it's better for FFP to loan a player out than take a big loss on their transfer fee. The club is about £10m into the £25m transfer fee they paid (I think he signed a a 3.5 year deal?) and he's on a similar amount in total wages over that time (£150k p/w) so would need a decent return to balance the books. He will probably end up being loaned out next season and we'll cover at least 50% of the wages unless a silly club offer £10m+ and agree to some sort of wage packet to sign him permanently . Similar to the Matt Targett situation ironically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post useless Posted February 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2023 Digne's standing in the game is far higher than our players that have gone to Turkey, he's been not as bad as people make out, Everton fans were furious at Benitez when they let him go as saw him as one of their few remaining creative outlets, we might not get back what we paid for him, but there will be plenty of clubs interested in signing him no danger. People were insistent that we wouldn't be able to sell Ings because of his contract but he was still sold, Digne a better and more proven player than Ings, he will have offers if made available, maybe even from clubs in a better positon than us, blockheads he's a 46 times French international, Didier Deschamps knows a good player when he sees one. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Looks like the Ibrahima Bamba deal has a serious chance of actually happening, as their president as stated that the deal for us to buy a share in them came about because of our interest in one of their players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this staggering to be honest. I don’t fully understand football finances. I don’t care to understand them. But when you have players moving for £100-150m now, it’s mad to think we were interested in a player and it’s worked out cheaper to buy half the club as well as the player than it would be to get somebody of a similar profile from a rival in this division. Moving forward, we should just buy clubs to get their players. Simples, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I don't think we're buying shares in the club just to get the player, there's a lot more to it than that, we had already previously been interested in buying them but that initial deal fell through when they changed president, but was thenresuurected when we opened discussions for one of their players, doesn't state Bamba by name, but presumably him.
