Emeryball will be right up his alley . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An expensive wages one though you'd think but suppose I'd rather see Lenglet on than Hause or Chambers at CB should we need it Can't sign world beaters in every position This is a stereotypical Emery signing. A player who has not been at their best recently, signed for relatively peanuts and turned used as part of a successful team (See Coquelin, Lo Celso, Capoue etc.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreno was a bit of an unknown entity when he signed for us, now though, many view him as our No.1 LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 “His departure to Aston Villa is expected in the next few hours.” “ Lenglet leaves 3 hours later than his teammates from the Ciudad Deportiva del @FCBarcelona The club is awaiting his departure with several possible destinations” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Big Fab with the exclusive yet again. Fan of this signing, think it just makes sense for all the reasons that have been spoken about. Mad to think of how far we've come so quickly, going from struggling miserably at times in recent seasons to signing a (recent anyway) French international off Barca to essentially be a back-up option.

It feels like Unai’s most successful signings are ones who get discarded by teams because of mediocre performances and he is able to help them recapture form and turn them into a very solid & consistent player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Hope we've got a very favourable wage contribution. It'll have been tough negotiating with Alemany because he is a genius. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WallisFrizz Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Loan with option to buy is perfect. Adds the depth at CB we lost with the Mings injury. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Great back up option. My only concern in this move is, is he’s a Pau type CB rather than a Mings type. so for this season, we going to be set up to the Pau/Lenglet style, making it harder for Mings to slot back in when he’s fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he returns I imagine we will mostly go to what we saw against Burnley but with Carlos RB, Mings CB, Pau LB.

Rustibrooks Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Lol so Sevilla and Monchi are supposedly at odds with each other with the way he approached Acuña. Then there’s reports of Sevilla wanting to report us and now we are signing Lenglet after it seemed he was joining Sevilla. They are going to hate us/Monchi for this.

BG_Villa_Fan Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I also haven’t been convinced by Lenglet on the odd occasion I’ve watched him but as a stopgap solution and with an option to buy it sounds like smart business. Besides Unai has a history of buying players who’ve lost their way a little and getting the best out of them, doesn’t he? So, hope this is another case.

Rustibrooks Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Apparently there’s no loan option and it appears we are covering 75% of his salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
