Lucas Digne

Back in the box captain miserable 

Not being miserable in the least mate, genuinely wondering if I had missed something in the thread as it all sounded like a deal had been done ? Anyway, ain’t gonna happen is it !

French newspaper quoted as saying we are in “constant contact” with him which was assumed to be a poor translation of contract negotiations. So solid enough to actually assume it’s a goer at least!

Everton also hope to finalise the £18m signing of Lucas Digne from Barcelona after Marcel Brands travelled to Spain on Friday to finalise negotiations

[Bob Sacamano]

I’m massively up for this deal.

[Toddacelli]

I am all in for this!

Digne links seem to keep getting stronger, but I’m not sure why we’re after him if I’m honest.

He’s a great defensive fullback but he doesn’t offer that much going forward, and at 25 it’s not likely that will change. I thought that Silva liked attacking fullbacks?

Looks like our offer has been accepted! https://royalbluemersey.sbnation.com/2018/7/22/17599034/everton-transfer-rumours-summer-2018-barcelona-latest-lucas-digne-offer-accepted

This would be quite the pickup. We've gotten players from top clubs before, but this one seems to be of a different kind. I would expect someone that had gotten this much playing time for Barca and France to be heading to another Champions League club.

Great news, let’s hope we get it over the line before West Ham come in

He looks good in the video clips, I’m on board with this one and I’m sure with Silva’s progressive pressing game we’ll get the best out of his attacking capabilities as well

Do we have it on any better authority than a fan forum?

[Macca77]

Excited about this

Nothing wrong with fan forums, it’s where journos get their best ideas

Nothing at all wrong with them, this one of the best but hardly the most reliable source of transfer info.

He’s very good going forward from what I’ve seen.

Where you getting that from, about him not being good going forward?

Barcelona don't tend to sign defensive defenders.
