Digne turns 33 this summer, if that's who you were talking about there.777Kidnappings wrote: ↑Sat Jan 24, 2026 1:17 pm I dont hate it either but we never hated it previously until we paid the price for it. I think on loan would be good but we really don't want to be giving a 31 year old full back 3 or 4 years at 6m plus a year
Loved him when he was here, probably shouldn't have been sold, but not the right choice for us now.

Re: January Transfer Window
Is he. I did look thought it said he was 31. Nothing wrong with signing an older player but the contract has to make sense. Hes on too much money for anything long term.blueToffee wrote: ↑Sat Jan 24, 2026 3:08 pm Digne turns 33 this summer, if that's who you were talking about there.

We love a "bring an ex player back" shout!
Although we did it with a former manager every fucking year and look what happened there.

Yeah, he's July 20, 1993 per Google.777Kidnappings wrote: ↑Sat Jan 24, 2026 5:15 pm Is he. I did look thought it said he was 31. Nothing wrong with signing an older player but the contract has to make sense. Hes on too much money for anything long term.
Otherwise sure, I think I said earlier in the thread I'd take Lukaku back when there were some mild rumours around him.
Seeing as I think Grealish could well be here next year, I'd just be worried about a combo of Digne and Grealish as that feels a little lacking in pace.

Re: January Transfer Window
Surely there’s too much bad blood for Digne to come back?
Objectively though he’s much better than Mykolenko even at his age and every signing doesn’t have to be a ‘young promising talent’. Some experienced older players are essential. The finances probably don’t work also though.
