Would be in favour if this as a squad signing. Overall he was fine last season. Made s couple of high profile errors but overall he was steady.

I’ll be disappointed if we don’t get Laporte or some other similar quality LCB to partner Romero regularly though.

He wasn't the worst CB in our squad last season, so I wouldn't be entirely against us signing him as a squad player. However, even without Lenglet, we have too many CBs in the first-team squad who need to be moved on. Signing Lenglet surely incurs the need to sell an extra CB (on top of those we already need to sell) before we can buy our new starting LCB.

He’s our second best centre back. Would anyone argue with that? If we can get him cheap then I’d rather do that than keep the likes of Sanchez
Second best when your best defender is light years ahead of everyone else is not exactly good.

So called squad signings are why we find ourselves where we are he is a very average centre back who is not good enough to improve us

Yeh I can’t really see this happening. Seemed to be a player that Conte wanted and even then he didn’t have all that much faith in him. He’s good on the ball and would be able to play out from the back but he’s slow and not physical enough. Think Ange is going to want to bring some speed to our team.

‘We can confirm the departures of Arnaut Danjuma and Clement Lenglet following the conclusion of their loan spells with us.

Defender Clement joined us last summer from Barcelona and made 35 appearances in all competitions, scoring once’.

Shame that imo, wish him well. Poor Danjuma, waste of time for everyone.

I don’t think he was good enough. A buying strategy of replacing poor players with slightly less poor players is not a good route to go down.

Bit of a steady Eddie. Wouldn't take us to the next level but as a back-up would have been fine. Leaves us needing both a first-choice and reserve LCB, unless Davies is considered no 2 for that position.

If we are to rebuild, and he's average to me, we can get others just as average but start afresh together with Ange.
