Clement Lenglet - Confirmed (On Loan)

[eamonn]

More importantly, how is his name pronounced? Is it Lenglet or Lenglet?

Longlay isn’t it?

Longlay never no more.

Will I play the Wild Rover
No never, no more!

[Malandro]

I wonder if Digne will go now - a lot of the footage I’ve seen shows him left back. Perhaps he’s cover for centre & left back.

Loan/no option to buy according to Fabrizio.

Phew! Cos he's shit.

/joke. But really, we'll prefer a fresh Mings.

[Risso]

Isn't he Lenglet, isn't he wonderful?

[FatSam]

Longlay isn’t it?

Funny, that was my nickname at college.

“Leave it to C. Lenglet, Lenglet”

MAKE IT STOP.

BTW his name is pronounced “Longlay”

I thought it was Clay-mont.

"Barcelona played a high line which exposed Lenglet's lack of pace" 

Yikes!

That was the bit that stood out to me too... 🤨

Yeah, Monchi and Emery won't have a clue about that.

Im sure that they do.

But please, give me your permission to have a slight concern based on previous experience & knowledge of the players attributes, or lack thereof...

You don't play over 100 games for Barcelona and 15 times for France if you're not a quality player. I do scratch my head a bit at the wages though for a player who may only be cover in a position that seems better covered than a few others at the moment. Still, good players are always welcome.

Except Barca haven't wanted him for some time and he didn't impress at Spurs. Tidy left foot but very slow on turn if my memory serves correct. Strange one.

[AV84]

Have we played the high line since the Newcastle game?

If you time things right you don't need pace!

Thank you. I will sleep so much better tonight... 😘

Yep. Good defenders can read the game & be one step ahead.

Don't get me wrong, while I spotted that comment about "high line & pace" on Utis video & it did jump out to me after the Newcastle game, I mentioned elsewhere on this site that my reaction to my Spurs supporting mate when he said Lenglet was "bang average", was to tell him that not all squad players have to be world class.

And that is a point I have tried to raise regarding the young player sales & squad depth, but I suppose it is my fault that I didn't post all that on my initial post on this thread where I mentioned the lack of pace being a concern.

I just didn't like the snarky response I got based on a perfectly valid point.
