Can you clarify what’s frustrating you? I couldn’t quite tell.


I'm outta Sugar Puffs, hungover and Romano just isn't quite, how can I put, the squirrel fart topic needed to start my week.

On the basis of the lack of respect for my feelings, I feel I have no other choice but to beautify ones self and go back out to the pub for light refreshments.

I've told the missus it's your lots fault, she says you're all hung like budgies tongues.

I'm intrigued by lenglet and how he gets on. I don't know much about him but have heard a range of positive and negative. Hopefully it's a case of a player getting a fresh start in a settled and structured team.

Usually when we're linked to players I don't know well, we hear a load of hyperbole and about how he's the best thing since sliced bread... Hopefully lenglet will be a bargain of a loan.

I agree, this signing has the potential to be a real game changer if he can regain confidence and adapt to the PL and Contes system. I’ll be watching with interest.

I maybe completely wrong, but this all seems Barca driven and all reports are from Spain regarding this. I have no doubt we have enquired, agreed something in principle, but more put on ice to pull the trigger if and when needs be. Barca using their media to push this along quicker as their desperate need to clear deadwood in order for them to sign and register new players. Just stinks of desperation from Barca.

Dropped, but he was a regular a couple of seasons back and a part of the Euro's squad. I mean, France have so many top CBs, you aren't going to get called up let alone play unless you are playing really well for your club.
LCB in their back 3 is particularly strong with Lucas Hernandez and Presnel Kimpembe to compete against

Have a feeling we will look back on this as our best piece of business this Summer at that fee, alongside Bissouma.

Don't think that's right at all mate. I think this one is all sorted and we're just waiting on an annoucement.

A big call that, but I hope you are right. If he comes, hopefully it is this week though so Conte and the coaches can get their hands on him.

No, you're definitely completely wrong. Barca are in the process of drastically restructuring their debt, plus Lenglet is nowhere near one of their highest earners. I'm sure they'd like to get the deal done just because, but it's hardly the most pressing item on their agenda.

We shall see. Don’t think it’s that pressing on our side either hence the blanket silence over the weekend

I understand that maybe you don't like the transfer and that's what you want us to do and that's fine. However multiple sources have indicated that it's basically done and about to be announced including ones from here that we consider to be very trustworthy.

Also regarding your comment about no news over the weekend. Usually there is barely any news over the weekend, as you know, people aren't working.

I won't be surprised if it gets announced today or tomorrow.

You'd rather a proper footballer with confidence issues than a confident player who can't hit a cow's arse with a banjo. Conte will back himself to get the very good footballer that Lenglet is ticking again.

This has the potential to be the biggest bang for your buck signing of this window, alongside Bissouma.

I don’t mind the transfer at all. Think it can be a very astute signing and a potential master stroke. It’s just my opinion that’s all, not disputing any info provided. Just think it’s another plate spinning case Paratici is working on and can pull the trigger at anytime

Sounds very much like we've already pulled the trigger.

I think he would be a great get.

But I also think we should try and get Maguire on the cheap as he would thrive in a Conte back three so this I'll likely get a million laughing and disagree reactions?
