He wasn't rated before Xavi either. He's been not very good at Barcelona all round. And considering how much Xavi values ability on the ball, you'd think a ball playing centre back (the way you're describing him) would be a perfect fit.

Stats are highly misleading for defenders. They can look as silky as they like and do everything right but a couple of major errors a game costs the team, same with goalkeepers. Defenders who are prone to switching off and/or overplaying can be a liability.

It's possibly a fantastic signing, if Conte can revive him. Reputation isn't all that funny, players earn it via performances and Lenglet hasn't been earning it for a while now. He's being rated as what he is, a player who once looked really good and has fallen well off the radar. It's a punt.

I haven’t seen any good statistics on Lenglet’s errors so maybe he does have a concentration problem.

But the volume of positive output is not just good but elite and you’d never know that listening to people bore on. That’s not misleading it’s true.

Reputation is curious. Son (at least until pat few months) has been underrated because he doesn’t play for a glamorous club. He’s top class. And Ronaldo still finds himself in contention for awards despite not being that good - reputation is sticky. Also look at what Juve fans said about Bentancur and Kulu.

Fans are dumb as shit (because people are) and their opinions are swayed by incidents that are easy to recall (well know human bias) rather than consistent value.

I think under Conte and in a back 3 this will be a great signing and incredible value. I’ve said it and if I’m wrong then I’ll own it. :)

Only option would be Emerson, 23 and national player (not sure)
Or Romero with 24 maybe

Annoys me that you can be so insensitive to such a precarious situation, you can't just blurt names out on a public forum and have a guessing game, especially since there's evidence in the media that rules out all the names being mentioned, research is free my friend.

I'm not sure he's leaving on a free transfer. Doesn't he have a contract until 2025?

They've let him go for nothing but added a 50% sell on clause should Fioratina sell him.
It says so in the article. And other articles elsewhere.
