I've just been reading that Lucas Digne is on his way out, apparently Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal are willing to pay 30 million for him.
Not a bad price for a 31 year old and with Moreno back fit it would make sense, Digne is on a massive wage so to offload him for 30 million, bring in Acuna for 8 million, it still leaves us with 22 million in the pot, very good business in my opinion so let's see if it happens.

Id be surprised if this happens in January he has being brilliant for us this season while Acuna hasn’t being to hot in la liga.

Villa may see it has an opportunity to get good money for him but I have no idea if the player wants the move or indeed if it will happen.

Yeh I can see the logic from the financial side of things but from a sporting view I think it would be a mistake, I know he’s on high wages but in the market for this last few years I think we bought him for a really good price, I read somewhere last week he’s the top LB in the league for chances created this season and defensively he’s being very solid, I think it weakens us if he leaves.

Think I touched on this a few years ago… now we have super rich owners, we shouldn’t only be looking at players that we will make profit on if sold, the 1st priority should be WINNING. Would be brainless to sell Digne in Jan, this season and where we are right now is an opportunity that won’t come along to win the Prem, and I’m being serious in saying that.

Liverpool will miss Salah, Citeh haven’t clicked yet, Arsenal are bottlers, Digne is having his best season so far with us, we just need to add some quality and we are serious contenders. On the banter page I’ve made the case for Dybala and Couffal that would help us push on, that would cost roughly £15M, that’s peanuts to get to where we could be, we might even cover that in sales in Jan with the bit part players. Then if we get Champions League, go for the Frimpongs, Davids, Toneys etc ??‍♂️
