He will be in the Bentancur & Kulusevski, classed as shit but will do well
Stats wise he suits what we need at lcb and afew years back was the next big centreback around, Conte will get him playing
Rather him than £50mil on Torres

Pretty similar reactions by some Juve fans when we signed Bentancur and Kulusevski. Apparently Conte thinks Lenglet can be a useful player for our team, that's good enough for me for now.
Very similar player to Torres. Agreed, I'm a bit nervous about it but think he'll do well and probably end up first choice at lcb.
Kulusevski was called a “snail” and both he and Bentancur were “Juve rejects” when they signed, now look at them.
Lenglet might be hopeless for us, or he could be a great asset to the team, but it’s only a year long loan deal so it’s actually very low risk.
No complaints from me, I’ll judge him after his first few games for us

Yeah, Barcelona are really not very well run. This seems more like a bit of a punt on an option to buy to help give us cover at LCB whilst we bide our time for a sexier option. That or he ends up actually being great, in which case problem solved.
Low risk transfer, makes sense with Bastoni staying & Gvardiol's pricetag being so high.
This is good news. The Twitter zeitgeist is thick as shit. If that’s what you make of someone capped at every youth level for France and with 15 full caps for the most talented team in the world, with a particular abundance at centre back… then you don’t know your ass from your elbow.
I fucking hate lenglet but he’s clearly a quality player and conte has already worked wonders. A 6’3 left-footed centreback who will cost us close to nothing is a great deal. If he’s that shit he can give Ben a rest for the cups but he won’t be.
Why?
The main thing is look at Conte's record with making players amazing bring them from out of nowhere
This guy has talent and our system will protect him, can see Davies starting the season and Lenglet impressing as rotation

Agreed, if we can't get our top LCB options this window, i don't want to buy 3rd/4th choice and be stuck with them when they don't pan out
He's better than Tanganga & Rodon. So from that perspective, he improves our depth from where we are now.
He'll probably be covering for Davies and Dier. So the deal makes sense if you can't land your prime targets for LCB/CB until the next window or even next year. Looks like we are prepared to splash out for this position but only if it's the couple that has been mentioned.
Because he was shit against Switzerland in the euros last year (most pathetic leap for a header ever for their first goal). But that is pretty irrational and he was playing the Dier role that night.
Fact is he’s a classy CB on the ball and would be good in the Davies role.
Never forget the experts said Ndombele was the second coming and Kulusevski was shit so let's give the fella a chance and judge him then.
