Villan_of_oz Posted October 27, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 27, 2023 Considering this was a late loan move that we needed to make, I have been quite impressed with him so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did show a couple good signs of aggression and bursts forward imo. Great shout. We have four very good CBs (five with Mings). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not taking anything away from Ibrahim...it was a great finish...but Lenglet could have made it tougher. I thought to be fair that he picked up his man in the middle and the spare man should have been picked up by the left back. He then has a decision to be made and i assume thought the player didnt have the quality to beat Martinez from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still question whether he let up at the end of his recovery run. Anyway, he looked good other than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 7 hours ago, lexicon said: He's not a playmaker like Pau is. Almost nobody is tbh. Thought he was very good today, though. The pass he made into ollie for ollies goal, I don't think torres would have made. Torres floats his passes more. Which is great for runners and the like but for play in the lines results in more interceptions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I think he understood what to do in possession and has a little bit more about him (and more league experience) than Pau defensively. Great rotation option and cover for Pau. Don't expect Mings-like back against the wall defending but a serviceable 10-15 starts in all comps this year would be appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Accoring to some rumours in spain barce are not happy that lenglet hasnt been given much game time. I have to admit why would he. Hw looks like a 4th choice cb behind carlos. Giving him game time midweek and the cups has been good for us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Considering there have been two international breaks, he's started every other game by playing in Europe, so not sure why they're so angsty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine they loaned him to us thinking he'd be first choice - we'd just signed Torres for £30m+. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, his loan is a wage shift for a player they don't want, he has no future there, they can argue that we're damaging his resale value but that's a stretch More likely his agent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a guess they could receive a financial bonus everytime he plays, they are skint so wouldn’t be surprised to see them out something like that in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
