Rafael Benitez has taken a fresh swipe at Lucas Digne after selling the France international, a move he says has allowed Everton to balance both his squad and the financial books at Goodison Park. Two days before Everton face Norwich at Carrow Road, Digne joined Aston Villa in a deal rising to £25m after falling out with Toffees boss Benitez The left-back took a parting shot at Benitez as the transfer went through, saying on social media: "Sometimes it only takes one person from outside to destroy a beautiful love affair." Benitez, speaking for the first time on Digne's departure, said: "I am the manager and I take the responsibilities of my decisions. "It is to think of the team and the future of the club, and we have to move forward and think about that. "If you're in a boat and someone is not rowing with the strength that you are expecting then you have to make your decision. "The realities are when you have a player that is thinking to leave and then you have an offer, a possibility. We brought in a couple of good young players, hungry players. I'm sure they will be good now and better in the future. "It's something positive for the club to sell a player who will be 29 years of age this year and bring in players of 20/22 and in positions we needed to balance. "We are balancing the squad, improving the competition, and economically it is good business." www.edp

I see Digne took a swipe at Benitez, saying "It only takes one person from outside to destroy a beautiful love affair". Not sure that was needed. What was Bernard on about? Bernard?

He had a dig at the club on Instagram. Ah right. We blocked each other on Twitter ages ago so I don't take much notice of him.
