Catalan press reporting the delay in digne signing is due to player waiting for better offers to come in for him but Barcelona say there confident of deal going through.

{Ed025's Note - he probably wants CL footy and who can blame him, nothing wrong with a bit of ambition..

Well if that's true we need to withdraw the offer, we have enough half arsed players on big money without adding another who will only join us if there are no other options. I want us to sign players who'll run through walls for the team.

I agree with you tipp, sick of footballers these days who think they deserve everything handed to them on a plate. Get someone that's going to break their neck to get us to the champions league!

They don’t make many like that any more Tippblue. It’s the same outside of football. Also we are hardly an aspirational destination for players these days, as much as it pains me to say it. A lot of the players we are looking at weren’t even born when we last won a trophy.

{Ed025's Note - very true windsor..

I can see eds point what player wouldn't want to play champions league if we do sign digne then still think he would want to prove himself here as he will want to reclaim his place in the French national side.

{Ed025's Note - its a job to them you know guys, who would not want to work for the best company they could?..

I am already very pessimistic about our chances for the new season, Marco Silva doesn't have the players to play the style of football he wants, far too slow, we need that left back ASAP, and we need someone with pace to replace Schneiderlin, the same for Jags at centre back, and I am afraid to say Micheal Keane has got to go, he is honestly in my opinion not good enough to play for us, he gets left for dead time and again by simple tricks, he either marks too tight or not at all, so flat footed it's unbelievable.

{Ed025's Note - its going to take time danny and we all think we have the answer, but the manager must make these decisions and he will rise or fall by them, its not just as easy as get this player and get rid of him mate..

I realise that Ed, it's just that if you ask most of the match going fans their opinion of Keane based on last season and this pre season I tho k most would tell you the lad isn't up to the job of playing for us, Jags and Bainsey are 36 and 34 respectively so their lack of pace is understandable, but if we are going to play high pressing/ counter attack football then it's clear to me we cannot do it with the current personnel, and I can't help but think the pursuit of the 2 Barcelona Ayers is doomed to failure, we need pace right through the centre of the team, and the left back position, if we don't get it in the next 10 days then I'm afraid Wolves will take our defence to the cleaners on the opening day.

{Ed025's Note - yes we do need improvements especially in defence danny and im sure silva and brands are trying, but it has to be the right player mate or we will be back to square one..

Digne has already said his goodbyes to teammates and is happy to join us. He played with Gana earlier in his career. Mina is the one pushing for CL club. This is all from the Spanish press close to Barcelona.
