Thing is, with Emery, so long as the player isn't complete shite or has a massive attitude problem, I'd generally always back him to get a tune out of whoever we sign... even if it's just as backup or rotation option. Lenglet is definitely good enough to be useful for us, and potentially much more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Barca media are BS merchants so I’d take any discussion of wages etc with some salt. It’s a pragmatic move that gives us more quality should injuries pile up so we don’t need to rely upon youth or the likes of Hause or Chambers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishywashy Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) I'd take a pinch of salt about Lenglet's wages as Barcelona deferred a huge sum of money from him over the years, which is why at least for Barcelona internally he's ended up becoming one of their highest earners: it's just the accumulation of prior wages that he wasn't paid.

Popular Post JPAngel Posted August 30, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2023 Really pleased with this one. Zero risk attached as there is no obligation to buy. Lenglet was very recently regarded as a top defender and one iffy season in a (crap) Tottenham team shouldn't change that. Very similar profile to Pau so gives us a fantastic rotation option for those tricky midweek games as and when required. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villabromsgrove Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 We play our fifth game of the season tonight and the season started just eighteen days ago. We need Lenglet or someone just like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is clearly a backup signing. So is Zaniolo technically. Both have something to prove before we'd sign them. I agree he is likely coming as back up but that doesn't mean he can't force his way into the team and surprise us. Even as depth it improves us.
