Clement Lenglet - Confirmed (On Loan)

[Rudy Can't Fail]

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

I'm struggling to find a kind word about him on Spurs forums except for the welcome posts before anybody had seen him play. From what I've read he has a big mistake in him every game, he can't defend and they would rather give Dier a new contract than keep Lenglet.

It seems we've pretty much exhausted every player Unai and Monchi have had playing for them or Spurs fans are like Man U fans, not to be engaged in football conversation or taken seriously? If the plan is he'll be back up for Torres and used sparingly against minor clubs in the Conference, fair enough. I just hope the 200k wages is a sick joke.

He does, however, have a good footballer name. I can picture that name playing for Inter in the 90s.

Around 160 games for Barcelona isn’t too shabby

Loan/no option to buy according to Fabrizio.

Phew! Cos he's shit.

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

We do, we do!

Can’t say I’m impressed by this one, surely we could look at our U21s for our 5th choice centre back.
Hopefully we never get desperate enough to need him to play.

(Obviously now I’ve written that he’ll turn out to be an inspired signing and we’ll all be clamouring for us to get him on a permanent deal by the end of the season)

With the greatest respect to our u21s, if push comes to shove I’d rather have a French international who has played a lot of games for Barcelona playing for us.

For those more musically minded than I, I reckon something can be done with Lip Up Fatty

It’s amazing how many people I have seen today say this fella is crap. This same fella who plays for Barcelona and France. I have no idea if he is or isn’t but I’m not turning my nose up at a player with those credentials.

Not saying that he wouldn't be good cover for our CBs but at this stage I would like to quote the special one, Jose Mourinho  "If he was any good they wouldn't be looking to loan him to us"

Romano says its imminent.

I bet he says that to all the girls.

Here We Go, love!

Brace yourself!

Problem with his tackle now up to her.

[Toronto Villa]

Loan no buy option immediately apparently. Perfect cover until Tyrone comes back.

I think it’s more that people are basing it on it being the fella who was unimpressive for Spurs last season and has recently been resisting attempts by his club to pay him off to leave them on a free transfer. It just seems odd to me to be getting a player who we have 4 fit options who are better than him in his position, I just don’t think he is filling a need and the wages would be better spent elsewhere.
I sincerely hope to be proven wrong and that people will be able to mock me for how wrong I am.

Son was very unimpressive for Spurs last season too.

[Toronto Villa]

Confirmed loan according to John Townley. Probably can remove the ? from the thread title

Makes it our third French international on the books.
