I noticed that he was using his right foot a couple of times yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 3 minutes ago, lexicon said: If he keeps this up and would be willing to take a little bit of a pay cut, I think we should definitely be looking into it. The style of play seems to play to his relative strengths as a footballer and defender, as he's more technical than physical, but still a good defender in his own right. He's on almost £200k/w at Barca so it'll take more than a little pay cut. Even £100k/w for a guy who is 4th or 5th? choice when everyone is fit is a lot of money.

A lot of it will depend on whether we're CL next season tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even £100k/w for a guy who is 4th or 5th? choice when everyone is fit is a lot of money. He is playing at a very high level for us now. He would be a great addition to the squad. I suspect Barca will accept a very reduced fee as they are run by children, I don’t think wages will be an issue. I did read somewhere that we have a Spanish CB/LB in our sights who is out of contract in the summer. I would think Digne will leave and this guy will come in. I think we will move on the Williams brothers too. Not sure on our finances but all of this plus buying back Archer does sound unrealistic unless there is a big departure which we are reassured won’t happen?

Mantis Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 With all our injuries he's arguably become one of the most important players for us, albeit temporarily. We'd be absolutely **** if he got injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Has turned out to be a very useful and valuable loan in, it’s taken an unfortunate set of circumstances to see him here at all let alone in the first team regularly but we’d be in real trouble without him right now.

Ponky Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Has been very solid for us but I'd still have Mings in the team any day of the week, and that's effectively who he's filling in for here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 He's been solid, albeit he is very limited compared to Mings, Konsa, and Torres. IMO. He's probably about on a par with Carlos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 He does have very good progressive pass stats. I believe they're even higher than Pau per 90 minutes. But what the stats don't tell you is that Pau completes his passes much quicker and after having drawn players to him or even gone round them to open up a better option. Lenglet plays it forward a lot, but either takes too long on the ball so the options for the receiving player are limited, and often it will be to a man that then has to pass it straight back. This doesn't make him bad, and as a backup option i'd say its pretty exceptional, but overall hes quite a bit less effective than Pau. The stats suggest Lenglet's been better, but the reality is somewhat different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 headers won. Very surprised at that as i think he’s poor in the air regards being in correct position to actually head it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 He's our second best CB on the ball after the freak that is Pau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wict01 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Was very impressed with him Saturday, felt like he stepped up a lot second half at 3-2 when we were a little rocky and helped us re-assert our control over the game with the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other factors involved but I would err towards results and facts over feelings personally. I like both of them, but I rate Carlos higher generally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
