Great on the ball and looked a class act but there were a fair amount of errors that led to goals.

What we did last season is somewhat irrelevant though. Different manager, different coaching, different system.
We conceded 58 league goals in Pochs first season and he had Lloris, Rose and Vertonghen starting most of the games in defence...
A few good signings suited to his system and we followed that by reducing our goals conceded to 35 the following year and 26 the year after with those same players..
Not sure Lenglet is the guy for that system
Not as a starter, no. And ideally, I'd rather not sign him (I think it's a waste of HG spot tbh) but we don't know how he'd perform under a coach that preaches passing forward and playing football.
It was the year after he was ropey under that cunt Sherwood - quite rightly too
Is there anything to back that up?
As far as I recall he was as close to faultless as you could get in his first season.
100%. But every player was a turd version of their true selves that season.
If we Tapsoba then you are on solid ground. I really think we need Tapsoba prehaps try Sanches as a make weight.
Vertonghen made the most individual defensive errors leading to a goal in the league in 13/14 of any defender.

Might have to change the season on the filter.
Yeah, there's no chance we deal with any Russian clubs. Far too complicated now.Spartak Moscownot is biggest fan but hope he doesn't end up there.
At least we hold all the cards in negotiations now that Allan Dixon has him
Well short of trawling though all the goals of that season no. But i remember as good and popular as he was he was getting grief from a minority that he was error prone. He did make mistakes, perhaps not Sanchez falling on your arse mistakes but they were there, albeit you could see the class in him.
Absolutely.
VdV is a prospect signing.
A great one by the looks.
Does he upgrade our starting CB unit for this season?
less clear.
Not really watched him though so let's see if it gets done.
They need 2 CBs though.
Well, we're going to lose Sanchez. Which leaves us with Dier, Romero, Tanganga and Rodon as our centre halves (I don't think Davies plays cb in a back four).. So I'd say yes, he upgrades our starting cb for the season.
We will get errors. But i think we'd get errors with Tapsoba too. That's Ange football. Mistakes will be made because it's high risk high reward football.
Florian forgets Bayern are cheap tight bastards and wont pay the £100M+
He's not ready.
He's never played men's football.
He needs a year on loan.
Dier will stay. Maybe Japhet too as he is club trained.
Sanchez and Rodon will go.
I don't see us getting Tosin personally.
It'll probably be something like this:
Romero, van de Ven/Tapsoba, Dier, Tanganga.
Really wouldn't understand the point of getting Lenglet too.
for 90m sell him.
I would be much more worried about his injury record
