Paddock Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 which, as I've mentioned before, is suicide. Lennon is not the normal winger. He is an out and out pace machine but on top of that he never stops working and enables our attacking FBs. Not a sexy winger by any means, but an absolutely essential type of player for our squad. Attitude and character can be just as important as ability sometimes. You're preaching to the converted here Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 Fuckin sign him for GAWDS sake! £5 mill is fuck all. Get rid of Mcgeady to Hull or somewhere and its happy days. i bet the players want him back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYBlue Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) I expect Lennon to turn up on deadline day on a season long loan (same deal we got Barry for, with a view to signing him permanently when his contract runs out next year). From what I've read he's currently training with the kids, when it gets to deadline day Spurs will want to offload him and get him off the wage bill. While 5M isn't a huge amount for the player it's still 5M plus his wages in the meantime that we would be paying when we know he's not wanted. If we can wait until the end of the month and get the best deal possible then it's the way to go. Edited August 7, 2015 by NYBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newty82 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 It was said a few days ago on SSN via the newspaper round up that Lennon had expressed his desire to join us and knocked back Villa. £5m being the fee. On that basis, IF true, something was due to happen anyway. Apart from that, I'd welcome him here. I like these pacey wingers. And he is a worker on top. We'll impressed with him during his loan.

Lowensda Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hope he's not one of the 3! And that he was a bonus signature. Martinez wanted a Striker, No.10 and a Centre Back, all positions that Lennon is not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Kone is like a new signing, Galloway could be a handy centerback, and I think you all will also look at Gibbo like a new signing when he returns and starts playing as a 10.... markjazzbassist and Sibdane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeQuince Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Can't believe our fans are being total cunts on Twitter about us signing Lennon. I mean, I can totally believe that. The medium is rife with douchenozzles. Have people seriously forgotten how effective he was just a few months ago? Do people only want us to sign players they've only seen YouTube highlight videos of? somuchfun 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic work ethic and has pace.£5 mill is a joke for a player of his ability The way I look at it is he's a not a needed signing. He's a nice to have. A season with Aaron Lennon and a season without Aaron Lennon isn't going to look massively different. Another season without a number 10 and a season with a number 10 will look massively different IMO. That's where we should be concentrating our efforts and then if we have anything left over (I'm laughing hard at the thought of having anything in the first place, never mind left over!) go for Lennon. £5m isn't a lot, you're right, but I'd rather not lose that £5m that could be spent on a quality playmaker.

And to think, you've been an Everton fan longer than me . Although, I didn't say it would be either/or. I'd just like to spend everything possible on that playmaker first. If that meant not being able to buy Lennon because we had to push the boat out and spend that extra £5m on a playmaker then I'm all for it. One of those signings is so much more important than the other. It's not even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
