100%... I keep telling people this deal is not good for us. Thiago is injury prone, left on bad terms... Digne is a SOLID backup. I don't like it.
Jose Maria Bakero and Guillermo Amor(who was in the club in 2013) said today that the only reason Thiago left Barcelona back in 2013 is because the club sold him. I don't really know what they meant, but Amor was clear that Thiago is welcome back and didn't leave on bad terms, or pushed for a move out.

Digne is a solid backup, but you can get players that are as good as him and more versatile like Jonny at Celta or even Mario Gaspar who is in Villarreal and has played at LB even though he's firstly a RB.
Neither would cost that much. Digne seem like a good guy who knows the group, but his importance to the team is overstated. He's a backup that only plays when Alba is injured or need a rest against some mid-table opponents. Getting a starting midfielder or two will do more good to the team than keeping a backup LB which we can sign a new one of anyway.
