Agree with the first two paragraphs. It is a bit delusional to think that any player we get Conte will turn into a world beater.
Last paragraph is drawing a poor conclusion, though.
Report reveals why Spurs decided to sign Lenglet over other centre-back options

The Athletic have now revealed that Tottenham’s desire to complete their signings early was a key reason why the club decided to step up their pursuit of Clement Lenglet over their other left centre-back options.
If some of the reports over recent days are to be believed, Lenglet is now close to completing a season-long loan move to Spurs (Sport). In fact, Fabrizio Romano has now given the deal his ‘here we go’ seal of approval.
The Athletic report that Josko Gvardiol, Alessandro Bastoni, Nico Schlotterbeck and Sven Botman were all ahead of Lenglet in Tottenham’s wish list when the summer transfer window opened.
However, it is explained that Leipzig were demanding a huge fee for Gvardiol while Inter were reluctant to let Bastoni go.
In addition, Schlotterbeck was said to be keen to remain in Germany and Tottenham reportedly felt that Botman would not be a good fit for the back three, which is why they allowed the Dutchman to go to Newcastle.
So, rather than waiting until later in the transfer window, hoping that Leipzig or Inter change their stance on Gvardiol or Bastoni, Antonio Conte’s men allegedly decided to bring in Lenglet to add experience and competition to their backline.
It is asserted that a move for the Frenchman represents something of a ‘compromise’ from Spurs, with the club viewing the 27-year-old as a temporary ‘stop-gap’.
Rather than spending relatively big money on Sven Botman or Pau Torres, who might not be ideal fit for Antonio Conte’s back three, it makes sense for the club to use Lenglet as a temporary stop-gap, and try again to sign one of Bastoni or Gvardiol next summer.
Going by your logic 1 year ago Winks was *****, 1 year after he still is... Should i continue or you get the point.
Our defense was far from perfect even with Conte.....
Lenglet is very risky, and lets wait and aee how its going to work out.
But no need to hype him, he ain't world claas, never really was. Stats is irrelevant.
Pikachu on ROIDS!
If we Lenglet is our only CB addition I will be seriously pissed off
Just find it extremely pathetic that a guy will pretend for years, might’ve been a decade by now, that they have inside info and has run to the one forum where they’re treated like royalty in order to protect that lie. Has he had his annual ‘you lot are asking too many questions, I quit’ strop yet?
You should get onto the club about this, they keep putting Sessegnon in the HG column. Maybe they didn't realise? Come to think of it, they put Kane in the club trained column too... the idiots
Really? I remember thinking we could score every time we had a go as their defence was as bad as ours.

One of Barcelona's 3 worst players according to that
Fucking tap-in merchant
Did Winks play for Seville or Barca or get 15 caps for France (or equivalent) ?
I am not saying Conte can polish everyone. But then, even our Winks had a decent end to the season under Conte.
Conte cannot make a player shine if there is no inherent top class quality. He can make a player better by making instructions simple, repeatable and with some hard work can make it work
By the way , what did I hype about Lenglet
I said his passing stats are world class - even in his worst 20/21 season - thats a fact. Thats not hyping. You can go check it.
I have qualitifed everythign I said about Lenglet with caveat that - Conte can only give him the environment but he has to improve his defensive game-thats up to him only
And its not a risk if its a loan - why is it a risk ? If he is only loan, if he fails, insurance policy kicks in and we dont need to buy him

Not saying it's a guarantee, but that's the most likely scenario. If he becomes actually useful beyond the most minor games, that would be the unexpected scenario.
I’d be fine with it. That would give us 5 capable CBs. Plus a much improved DM. Plus a more technical player in Perisic to help us retain possession. I’m not too worried defensively.
Almost every Journalist that properly covers us, have said we will bring in 2 CBs. So, lets wait & watch.
Sometimes at this forum.....

Not writing him off either, but it's a bit funny how over the course of a few weeks, his reputation has skyrocketed on here.
The most realistic scenario is that he's a rarely used sub/backup CB.
