Yeah a case of not perfect, but could suit the setup under this manager. The errors will be minimised by the system, we can see that even Sanchez hasn't been a disaster when he's played under Conte. It's not a signing anyone would be jumping for joy over, but may just suit that need for a LCB without blowing the bank.
If Lenglet comes to Spurs, I imagine its most likely to be as an upgrade on Rodon, who for whatever reason has not played much under either Conte nor Mourhino.
In UEFA terminology its one 'overseas trained player' out and one 'overseas trained player' in
Lenglet is not a chump. He’s likely a better left center back than Davies. If he’s wanted to be a rotation player that’s pretty good.
And a loan would have zero risks

shittttt
Like, I agree with you, there are many better options than Lenglet. I'd even go for somebody like Salisu from Southampton instead of him. But Conte would make Lenglet look a much better player than he has the last few years at Barca. Unless he has some physical issue that's caused him to decline.
150 million doesn't go as far as you'd think in 2022. Unless there's some defender out there who would shine regardless of system I'd rather we didn't blow half our budget on a CB. Bastoni ticked all the boxes for being worth a big fee, I'm not sure the others do.
I think he would suit a Left centreback of a 3 very well, remember before he signed for Barca he was world class
Salisu is the same as Ndicka, very good physically but we need better passers
Who is to say that either want to stay to as a squad player?
If true, great it gives competition to LCB position, and importantly cover with the need we will have to rotate (Lenglet/Davies) if we want to go deep in CL
Barca fans think his issue is confidence/mentality since the Bayern thrashing.
“Nothing to do with our managers, it’s really a mental problem.
There were news that he cried numerous times in the dressing room because of his mistakes that led to goals/red cards and there’s some pictures from him crying in his car when leaving Camp Nou after games.
I don’t know what it is, but he has those random moments where his brain freezes and he does ridiculous mistakes.”

Conte made Davies a pretty good center back. Lenglet is quite more talented than Davies.
Yup. Definitely not a chump.
Not to mention that Paratici's recruitment MO is literally to have multiple names floating about until landing on a priority 1. Lenglet is probably just another in a long list of names.

but it's 150m on top of the pre-existing budget. That should go quite far.
Let's say 80m from all player sales, that gets you Bastoni with 10 to spare. With the remaining 160m you can get a decent RWB for 40m, and a top top CM for 80m, you still have 40m left over to do whatever you need. Get a backup striker for instance.
