Clement Lenglet - Confirmed (On Loan)

[paul_e]

But that's why it would work, as the right back often shuffles over to make the three out of possession. He's definitely got better on the ball though, look at him bursting forward vs. Burnley for the goals, looked like he'd been doing it for years.

I reckon Lenglet would also offer similar to Konsa but on the left, so gives us a more 'solid' left back if we need to tuck in on that side.

[Dante Lavelli]

In theory we could reverse the asymmetrical back four. Pau or Lenglet play left back and the defence slides across to allow cash to play as right winger.

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.

Afternoon all, here’s a short video detailing everything you need to know about Clement Lenglet in 5 minutes for those of you interested. It’s yet another quality signing by Villa, and I look forward to seeing him in action under a manager who’ll actually know how to utilize him properly in Unai Emery. Please do let me know what you think and feel free to ask me any questions you may have, cheers!

PS: I made this video when he was off to Spurs a year ago but it remains just as relevant today now that he's signing for Villa!

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

Always looked decent to me. Sensible to have another body at the back.
