Digne confirmed.

 

[Pangloss]

I think he will prove to be a very good signing. Welcome Luca!

 

[Fulford]

Welcome to the greatest club in the world Lucas.

 

[sirdennis]

Welcome to our great club.

Another player who looks good in Claret and Blue.

 

[DeanoVilla]

He looks like an honest bunch of lads.

Welcome Mr Digne.

 

[BringbakMON]

Well that came out of the blue

good back up for Targett

a moving statement from Everton on the transfer:
"Lucas Digne has completed a transfer to Aston Villa for an undisclosed fee.
Left-back Digne played 127 games and scored six goals for Everton after joining from Barcelona in the summer of 2018.
The 28-year-old, who counts Lille and Paris Saint-Germain among his former clubs, has made 15 appearances this season."

 

[Fulford]

Signed just in time for Saturday's game. The new cut off for signings is 12.00pm on a Thursday.

 

[Old Trinity Villan]

Welcome Lucas. You have joined just at the right time.

 

[The French Connection]

Bienvenue Lucas et bon courage.

 

[JNB90]

decent left backs are hard to come by. Especially those full of premier league and top international experience.

Think he might prove to be a bargain under Gerrard.

 

[Pride of Lions]

Welcome to the Villa family Lucas.

Nice start to the day........ and the next one is?............

 

[Villan57]

Wow, this is out of the blue didn't see this one coming !!

 

[garygaryshaw]

Should be the best LB we've signed in 20 years. My only concern is we always seem to criticise our full backs whoever they are, either they cant defend or cant get forward!

Agreed, The best since Bouma I am hoping.

 

[Villan57]

A good sign is Everton fans, in general, are not happy he's gone. pretty sure we have a good un. Matt Targett had Southampton fans laughing at us at the time .

In truth, we've got two good left-backs now

It's good that they also seem to be able to offer different things as well, makes it good for us if we want to try and change things up.

 

[Stephen Jay Hawkings]

Welcome Lucas! Another top signing, what a Janaury this is turning out to be, getting business done early too

 

[Villan57]

Yep remains to be seen if Targett will up his game or be happy on the bench. I hope we can keep both happy as we need two for every position

Great signing and welcome
