Didn't realise that Leicester paid a whopping £37m for him in 2020 when he was 19.
He is not even a full France international.
Lenglet has mostly played in a 4-man defense so he is used to playing centrally, so yes he could also cover for Dier as CCB.Paratici may well have identified Zabarnyi as a CB with a high ceiling, a potential Gvardiol or Fofana, who would cost 3 times as much next summer. So buying him now for the rumoured 20m Euros would be betting on him becoming a top player in time. The same bet Paratici has made on Gil, Sarr & Destiny Udogie.
But as others have said, barring an injury crisis, Zabarnyi would be unlikely to play much this season.
There's also the balance of the CBs likely to be in our final squads. Assuming Japhet leaves, Davinson covers Romero at RCB, Lenglet & Davies will compete at LCB, but with Rodon gone, we have no obvious cover for Dier.
Zabarnyi can play at LCB. Does Conte think either Lenglet or Zabarnyi could also play at CCB as & when Dier isn't available?
This is what happens with such a distorted industry where all the wealth sits with a dozen or so PL clubs. The players you mentioned there are nowhere near elite but impossible for most to afford. So instead of going to play for a team at their level they prefer to see out their massive contracts. Can’t blame them for doing so but so much talent out there is wasted
If it makes you feel at all better, the informative ratings tend to be exclusively sarcastic.
You really are thick, aren't you? Go back to my post as to what a player being available means. Player wants to move and to the team that is after him. Once that is the case, the selling club can either dig in or cash in. And because Brenton said he's not available you actually believed that? What did you expect him to say, "hey he's on the market, we really want to sell?" You must be really gullible to brother that.Hang on. This player isn't available. There must be some mistake.
Brendan Rodgers said so himself only a couple of weeks ago. I saw his lips moving as the words came out of his mouth!

Get in! , what the doolally is going on here!
They could just use the fifa game for this.I vote to ditch ffp and have an independent body rate players and those ratings put them in predetermined price brackets. That way, money clubs can't blow normal clubs out of the water, and selling clubs can't price players out of moves to other clubs.
And the knock on, is that if a selling club loses a player they didn't want to sell, they can just use that money to buy another player in the same price bracket

I've only seen him play a handful of times but he looks to me as if his best fit in our system is at ccb.Paratici may well have identified Zabarnyi as a CB with a high ceiling, a potential Gvardiol or Fofana, who would cost 3 times as much next summer.

You can still get long odds on both, so probably not either of those guys.Wonder who it could be? Adama or Zaha is what all the Twitter heads are saying but I can’t believe that.
If true than Tanganga is not going to AC Milan - and the implication would be he stays at Spurs and we are not bringing in a new CB ?
