If Unai thinks we need a backup then it’s fine with me. He’s improved almost every player since he’s came in.

There's still a Lee Longlands on Broad Street. I've never seen anyone in there.

There’s one in Leamington too. Similarly empty.

I saw a Lee Longlands lorry on the M6 yesterday. No idea if it was empty. Took me back to ITV in the eighties. Or possibly Beacon or BRMB.

Son was very unimpressive for Spurs last season too.
Foyth was pretty crap for them but there's plenty of our fans in favour of signing him.

Lenglet might not be world class but he's good enough to provide cover when needed.

Apologies if it's been covered before, but I wonder if this means Chambers is going?  Either that or Konsa's move to right back might be more of a permanent thing?

Before listening to too much of what other fans think of Lenglet, remember, non Villa fans pretty much all seem to think Tyrone Mings is shit.
That's true. But most fans think Harry Maguire's shit, primarily because he is.

But that includes Man United fans. And managers ;-)

Meh.

Wasn't impressed when I saw him for Spurs. Which was twice, when they played us.

I am sure Unai will sort him out.

Wish we'd sign a striker.

For a time, admittedly a few years ago and in the Spanish league, he was Barcelonas best CB.  Had all the attributes, reads the game well, good left foot.  He seemed to develop a bit of a Mings-esque lapse of concentration though.  I'm not 100% sold on this one but it's just a loan.  Emery obviously feels like he's spotted something in him and can get the best out of him, and as far as I'm concerned he's got more than enough credit in the bank, so happy to trust him.

Given that our loan quota will be filled with him and Zaniolo, I'm surprised that we're using our second on another centre-back.

Unless we're buying a forward, still feels like we're one body short there.

We're allowed 7 players on loan. The 2 rule is for loans between English/someWelsh clubs. There's some kind of Brexit related exemption thing for European players too, but I don't understand it, and it still ends up with us being allowed 7 in total.

Same for players going out, which might be why we sold Ramsey, Archer etc.

It's a pretty underwhelming but pragmatic signing given the injury to Mings.  Akin to the Bednarek deal I think.

It's a shame that he doesn't seem to have much pace and he's not a big powerhouse, but seemingly decent on the ball.  Seems to be a like for like cover for Torres to me.  I suspect we won't see a huge amount of him.

Bit harsh of a comparison, that. He's almost certainly a level or two above Bednarek, and i'd imagine he'll get plenty more game time than him too.

Indeed, he’s a completely different level to Bednarek.

maybe, in a microcosm, that's how much we've improved. Bednarek was cover for an injured Carlos, Lenglet is cover for an injured Mings. That's some step up in 12 months

Absolutely.

I was furious about the Bednarek signing.

Even as a backup loan, I didn't want him plahing a single minute.

He is utter shite.

My only concern about Lenglet is his lack of pace, but as a backup for Torres until Mings is back, I am fine with it...

And as the only signing this summer where I have a minor concern, that shows how good the incomings this summer have been.

In my humble opinion of course...
