he took a sabbatical from the US team. the sabbatical is over and he's ready to come back. before the sabbatical he was a hero from the WC, now he is past it and still thinks he can waltz into the US team. well see what happens.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/tottenham-hotspur/11756696/Aaron-Lennon-trains-with-youth-team-as-Tottenham-exit-draws-closer.html west ham linked with him now as well.

i'm a sucker for the bond franchise, love them all. that looks like another great one, i'm glad the storyline combining all the daniel craig one's is progressing.

yeah i was thinking it was a strange move as well.

i'm excited for the season, just don't have a great outlook with the squad currently. it could all change come transfer deadline though, so i'm hoping for the best.

i hope he doesn't as well. i think he might get picked and be on the bench, but i don't see his form being any different/better than guzan or our younger guys. on a side note if he does get dropped from USA team maybe he'll play better for everton?? we can hope can't we.

I don't think he has a chance in hell. He will be on the squad but Guzan has done decent and we need to get younger not older.

lol i saw that the other day as well. same name, but they are a Maltese football club.

no doubt he's talented makis, i'm hoping we do get him on loan/loan to buy. i wasn't being serious, i was joking because the fault leveled at barry and mccarthy is their sideways and backwards passing. i'll have to use more emoji's to get my dry not funny jokes across

lol. all the scousers have been wearing off on me. also sometimes the scouse way just sounds the best. i especially like "have a word with yourself" and adding the word "like" on the end of sentences. seems like a good book like, thanks matt

no problem man, i know you have good intentions. and yes i work in a cube in an office so i'm on here a lot (probably too much)

any idea when this contract does end? let's hope it's this year. EDIT: looked it up. he signed jan 2012. if it's 4.5 year deal that's either summer 2016 or winter 2016/2017. OUCH :dont know:

they're putting together some solid signings.

never said he wouldn't, just said he's not up to that ability now. Joe calm down lad, it's an online forum, people can have opinions and beliefs other than yours. no need for vaulting, i'm not here to win arguments, just chat and share my opinion (no matter how right or wrong it is).

no one has said he's gone until he signs. we are just discussing the possibility of him leaving and seeing who would replace him and discussing the value being tossed about. love that the guys name is that though

i could see us turn around and use the 8m to get lennon back.

no doubt zouma is good, but i think you're overestimating his talent due to the side he's played on. if he were playing at a mid/bottom prem side i don't think you'd be thinking he's the world beater he is. matic helps a lot, as does having hazard and costa putting in goals. the rest of those are just what you said, promising, but they couldn't replace terry tomorrow up to mou's standard if he fell off form. i get your point, but i don't think they're in just to fill a quota, otherwise they'd grab up cheap players like city did with delph and roberts to just fill out the quota. they're looking at stones as terry's replacement and zouma will replace cahill (turns 30 this year, he won't last forever either).

lol, he barry and mccarthy will be awesome together

He most certainly does care about stones, he's Terry's replacement. He's old and although in great form this year or next he will lose it and they'll need a partner for Cahill. It isn't a man city thing where they need to stack the bench, they already have plenty of youngsters who are English who will qualify for homegrown.

at that much just let him play out his contract. in this inflated TV money market he's 12m without a doubt. anything less and we could use him on the pitch this year. we paid 6m, no way he only gained 2m in value.

i completely agree, what i was saying is when we sell him (its ineveitable) in a couple years time, it should be elsewhere than EPL, would love to see mou blow a gasket over that. also would love to see him win the champions league, something not possible for an english club at the moment.

wow and yes i was surprised they coughed up that much for downing, and surprised he left. but yeah back to mirallas, 8m? wow, just wow.

Great point. It would help for more parity too within the league if the big boys actually had to play Englishman. The good ones are few and far between.

Wow we need to sign their negotiator. That's a hell of a deal right there for barnsley, hence the 3m tag I guess, they got less up front. 50+ for him most certainly with that 20% for me. And Chelsea can fuck right off the flopping ref crowding bitches. If I was Martinez I'd sell him abroad, real, barca, a real fuck you to mourinho

Why 20?
