The difference being that Lenglet has been either poor or piss poor at FCB for four seasons. I'd say they have a clearer idea of their players than we do.
Let's try another scenario...
Spurs fans: Winks has been either poor or piss poor for us for four seasons.
Fan of club to which Winks is sold/loaned: Spurs fans are dumb and impossible to please...
I hope not, he's a magnificent player that I absolutely wouldn't want to see at a rival
Barca are skint so no doubt trying to get as much as they can. The have asked De Jong to leave over 14million Euros worth off unpaid wages
How they are not under a transfer embargo is beyond me
Thanks, I don’t speak Dutch
Spence: Ditto.
FWIW I'm not being impatient; I just get the impression that the shelves are pretty bare in terms of RBs.
How they haven't been wound up is beyond me.
In 2020 they owed €23 million in tax and social security, fuck knows what it is now with the accumulated interest.
I'm not talking about his quality I'm talking about the fact there's no option/obligation to buy.
If he improves and we want him and they want to sell then Barca set the price to whatever they want, if we want him and they don't want to sell then they can keep him, if another club comes in for him and offer something bigger they can sell him.
Oh I agree. I think that’s the weakest position this summer in the transfer market. Spence is our best option unless we someone get Carrasco which I’ve seen us linked and Madrid wanting several of our players.
Barca are absolutely fucked financially...if WE wanted an option added in order for the deal to go through an option would be added.
it seems we're not sold on the player and are just agreeing to a short term fix in the hope that the player can perform better then the expectation levels.
Its clear Conte specified a LCB and he's ok'd this one because the other options are out of reach and he probably thinks he can work his magic on him.

It would still be a 9/10 window. Only 10/10 if we managed to nab Bastoni, and a RWB of a calibre to compete with Reece James, TAA, Walker, Cancelo.
Still could be great if Spence turns out to be a mega signing.
What he actually said was Estamos cerca de una salida, pero se anunciará cuando sea oficial.
"We're close to a solution although it won't be announced until it's official"
In which case maybe there's some sort of a sell-on clause. E.g. if Barca get anything north of X million for him, we get a cut. That way we get something out of it, in addition to having him for a year, and minimize our risk.
At this rate the club is actually going to be state owned before long.
Spanish IRS confiscating the club and running it.
Which is what I said.
Will only be announced when official…
I would strongly advise against taking me on with regard to linguistic matters. I will crush you mercilessly grammatically, syntactically and lexically.
