He's exactly the kind of punt we should be taking....but we should be buying him to come in as understudy. We need a starting centerback (Tapsoba/ Bremer) I genuinely hope this is still the intent.
I think Lenglet is probably 7th or 8th choice on list - and if signed likely to be in a loan again.
Hope we can get 2 of the others over the line, with Lenglet finding another home.
Good thing for VDV is recovery pace. Makes for a good mix with Romero's aggression.
Ange has apparently liked him for a while as well.

I thought you brought up some good points and raised a lot of potential red flags.
No one should expect VdV to step in and be a finished product.
It might mean that Kane is staying, but it might also mean they believe they're close to selling some other players, e.g. Atletico might have the money for Hojbjerg soon, and the Hojbjerg sale alone could fund VDV.
Jesus, mate. What does it matter if they are or not?
The idea is that you put out the best team available for the money that you have.
Juventus had a habit of signing free agents to augment their team when they were one of the top sides in Europe. Barca are using the same tactics now and won La Liga. The idea that you have to overpay for everything is outdated and stupid.
Agree, and he’s young enough to learn this kind of thing.
Fingers crossed he’s got the ability to.
Let's not get our collective dicks out just yet. It's Levy remember, he'll now spend the next two weeks haggling over some minor insignificant nuance
considered better or worse than weighing up?
What if we gave them the gazza strip?
Dammit, I really wanted Tapsoba. VDV is gonna have to really develop quickly to improve us.
I think he improves us right now, but that says more about our current LCB options than it does about him. He does have potential though.
How come you didn’t mention Pepe? Or Sancho? Or Coutinho at Barca?
I would argue that Juve declined with Ronaldo even though he stat-padded.
I’m not getting too excited until he’s holding the shirt on this one
Maybe the hold up was them bringing defenders in first.

But I never said that the AM never needed an upgrade, I never siad that we didn't need to get Maddison.
I just said they were not as important as two decent CB's coming in, as we already had players in AM. Bentancur, Ndombele, Lo Celso, Kulu (IMO, Devine (very promising), and now Maddison.
Forwards we currently have Son, Kane, Richy, Solomon, Kulu, Gil.
We have a team full of attacking players, but our biggest problem is in Defence, not the lack of a creative midfielder.
Why is this simple concept so hard for you to understand.
Yes, Maddison is a great buy, but x2 quality CB's is massively important for us this season, especially with highline under Ange,
He was part of the City Group. They have several teams in Asia-Pacific.
