Thank god for that!
Saw the bump and feared the worst.

I know we need another CB and I know that time is short but Lenglet was not the one for this system.

It’s a bit weird that Villa have gone for him tbh. With Pau Torres already there, and with them playing a high line too.

Yeah, and I'm not too sure that Torres suits a high line.
I've obviously not seen that much of him but I thought he and Lenglet were similar players, cultured and good with the ball but not the quickest?

I'm guessing it's a opportunistic loan, even though some may say it's only us that does that sort of thing!

They don't really play a high line in the way that we do.

Glad we aren't signing Lenglet, decent player but not suited to Ange's style of football.

Decent back up for Villa, they are getting strength in depth.

Good footballer. Sweet left foot. Pity he doesn't suit our style. Good luck to him. Haiku.

Not quite.
