I personally avoid Dest, decent going forward but an absolute disaster when defending.

And yet this system demands attacking fullbacks over defensive ones. Makes no sense we spent the majority of last summer going after Hakimi when he is bang average defensively. 

I'd prefer Dest for the simple fact he has a good attacking output and can play either LWB or RWB.

Red flag right there.

Yes, apparently according to few Everton fans Digne hasn't been the same since his last injury.

Expand  

Everton still need to comply with FFP. Digne is their joint highest earner on 120kpw.

Dest won't be bad if he isn't a starter, but now with Chilwell out we need a starter material or our season could be over.

After the nightmares we endured with an injured Essien getting injured again following surgery., I'm inclined to agree.

Club should probably consider going all out on a good left back sooner rather than later. Else we'll be taking next season for a gamble as well just hoping he returns to good physical form as well as good footballing form.

Who available in January is starter material? If the club does have someone in mind then we are best recalling either Maatsen or Emerson for the rest of the season.

Everton reportedly want Barkley on loan. So...

Maybe but Azpi and Rudiger, for example, had ACL injury before in their career and they bounced back strongly.

But didn't Essien have multiple ACL injuries which effectively ruined him? This is only one with Chilwell and I believe he'll still be fine after surgery.

Do we need another American in the team? 🤣

[nyikolajevics 2,617]

Why is Dest considered an option? As I checked, he seldom played in the left side for Barca, hardly ever for Ajax.

 

Emerson and Digne are OK options, but maybe we should take the risk and try out Maatsen who can step up and turn out to be a real deal, like James or Mount did coming from Champo.

[Jase 43,479]

Will be hilarious if we get Tagliafico after all the LB debates last year.
