Summer 2021 Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[Vegas Claret]

I'll add that reports all summer have said we are after 2 wingers, we aren't realistically going to go out and spend 30 + million on them, so Lennon for the season plus Cornet (as an example) makes sense

[tiger76]

I'd rather have Lennon as an option than no option at all

Exactly he wouldn't have been my 1st choice either, but would people rather we continued playing Brownhill out of position.

For all our failings the one thing which has served Burnley well during our PL tenure is our team spirit and togetherness in the group, and that plays a large part in any successful team, if you aren't all pulling in the same direction you won't succeed.

We're all frustrated by our inability to land the targets we'd like, but some posters just seem to want to have a pop at the club for anything and everything these days.

If we do sign Lennon they'll moan, and if we sign nobody they'll also moan, it's becoming tedious now, can't we just get behind the existing squad who've clearly been doing something right, otherwise we wouldn't be on the verge of kicking off a 6th successive PL season next Saturday.

[KRBFC]

If he’s fit and Dyche wants him. That’s good enough for me.

Just get behind all the team and we will be fine.

So why wasn't it good enough for you when Dyche wanted Taylor and he was fit?

So you are telling us all to just get behind the team? that's abit rich given your personal targeted bullshit against one of our best players in Taylor.

[Murger]

If he’s fit and Dyche wants him. That’s good enough for me.

Just get behind all the team and we will be fine. One things for sure is that the defensive part of the team is stronger than when we lined up against Leicester last season. No reason to panic when we have the best pound for pound manager in the division. Just enjoy the ride again.

I remember your borderline hatred for Taylor. So don't start spouting ' get behind the team' crap.

[ClaretAndJew]

Phil Bird just said Lennon is here to get fitness and is looking for a club.

[Hibsclaret]

Phil Bird just said Lennon is here to get fitness and is looking for a club.

It’s probably a similar situation to the one with David Jones the other year tbh.

[Guller Bull]

Why was he a trailist last week and this week is named?

[ClaretAndJew]

Why was he a trailist last week and this week is named?

Probably because last game was behind closed doors.

[xxmunkyennuixx]

I was worried by the transfer dealings last season and I am seriously concerned at the moment. There were glaring weaknesses evident and they have yet to be resolved. Under the old ownership we were debt free but that is not the case now. I cannot help but feel the future of the club is under threat. Relegation would be catastrophic now. Pace will want the lockdown to return if he thinks spending the Gibson money is sufficient.

[Pearcey]

Phil Bird just said Lennon is here to get fitness and is looking for a club.

I’m not sure he should be getting a game ahead of one of our own though. Dyche must want a closer look.

[warksclaret]

How very charitable of our manager

[warksclaret]

Wasn't Lennon one of the players who refused to keep playing for us post first Lockdown as he was not contracted the following season

[Hedontplayforyou]

Dyche could be sending a message to his employers here by playing both Lennon and Pieters on the wing on the same game.

[bfcjg]

Think these.might be more suitable

Good lads, right age, know the framework. What’s the problem ?

[randomclaret2]

Maybe other Premier League clubs will be in for Lennon now he's back on the scene

[Conroysleftfoot]

Villa rumoured to be keeping tabs on the situation.

[DCWat]

I don’t think Dyche is the sort of chap who needs to send messages. He’ll be quite comfortable stating things directly as and when he deems it necessary.

[Pearcey]

Judging by SD’s post match, I’d say Lennon will sign.

[s6t9a2f3f]

You'd refuse to listen if it didn't suit your negative narrative though

I would rather be blaming the correct people and holding people to account for poor performances.

[DCWat]

Judging by SD’s post match, I’d say Lennon will sign.

What did he say that makes you think that?

[Pearcey]

What did he say that makes you think that?

Played a lot of football in Turkey, looks fit, didn’t want him to leave in the first place, just training but will see how it goes etc etc.

[BabylonClaret]

Frankly I think Lennon is is good player and wouldn't have let him go last year. Ffs we could have done with him.

I agree we need to bring in another player but I'm not slitting my wrists over resigning Lennon

[Newcastleclaret93]

What did he say that makes you think that?

I think the quotes have just gone up on lancs live. It does sound like he will be resigning.

Not the end of the world, at the moment we just need bodies.

Let’s hope we can get at least one first team signing in

[RVclaret]

Really is hilarious. We baulk at signing Lookman, for example, due to wage demands, yet we are happy to pay wages which probably won’t be too far off, to 34 year old Lennon.

[Vegas Claret]

Listening to the Dyche interview today I would expect us to re-sign Lennon

[Pearcey]

Dyche didn’t let him go. Garlick wouldn’t offer another contract even though Dyche wanted to keep him.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Dyche comments
“As you know he was someone I didn't want to leave in the 1st place.

“At the minute it’s an open situation & he’s just training with us, but he is allowed to play so I said by all means come & get involved - but we are short in those areas.”

[Tall Paul]

Do you know any of that is true or are you making it up?

[Shaggy]

Dyche didn’t let him go. Garlick wouldn’t offer another contract even though Dyche wanted to keep him.

I’ll be honest here and say that I agree with Garlick on this and other occasions ( Vydra )

Lennon isn’t the profile of player we should be having in our squad. Too old and expensive and poor value for money.

[Boss Hogg]

Judging by SD’s post match, I’d say Lennon will sign.

FFS

[Vino blanco]

If we re-sign Lennon, then I will use the same word I used when we signed Crouch and Stephens......embarrassing.

[SalisburyClaret]

We shouldn’t even be thinking about Lennon, he was awful last time, contributed extremely little and his only saving grace was he got injured allowing McNeill a run in the side. He should be joining Vokes at Wycombe

[Vegas Claret]

if signing Lennon free's up money (no fee) to get the second winger we want then there is no problem. If all we end up with is Lennon then it will be hugely disappointing

[Top Claret]

I will

[boatshed bill]

Dyche comments
“As you know he was someone I didn't want to leave in the 1st place.

This is the problem.

SD likes these old has-beens who don't need coaching.

[Top Claret]

I will be happy if we sign Lennon. Lennon knows our system and cost nowt, whats not to like?

[Jakubclaret]

Do you know any of that is true or are you making it up?

Quick research suggests a difference of 21k a week, lookman is on 56k Lennon 35k.

[SalisburyClaret]

I will be happy if we sign Lennon. Lennon knows our system and cost nowt, whats not to like?

Well he doesn’t take players on, doesn’t work well with Lowton, can’t tackle, crosses poorly, is expensive wage -wise and it didn’t work last time and now he’s older.

[Vegas Claret]

This is the problem.

you mean experienced lads who he trusts to get the job done because they've spent the majority of their career in the PL ?

[Aclaret]

Yeah, but apart from that ?....ah that's it, he can track back, whatever that means.

[Silkyskills1]

Do you mean resigning or re- signing? There is a slight difference.

[hoskinsgoalatswansea]

Why on earth would we offer Lennon 35k?! He’s mid thirties and clearly struggling to find a club. If Dyche really wants him then fine, but he should be on a fraction of that with perhaps a bonus for appearances, or better still a bonus for goals and assists, that should keep the powder dry.

[lrac]

No not again nnn

[KRBFC]

He's shite and earns alot

[agreenwood]

Has Sky gone the same way as ITV Digital?

**** me.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Haha just re read that post, apologies it should be re-signing

[boatshed bill]

Colour it however you want.
"Risk averse" is another way of describing him.

[KRBFC]

or better still a bonus for goals and assists, that should keep the powder dry.

You're damn right about that

[DCWat]

It’s another can kicking signing, if it happens. We’ve really got to be thinking one / two years down the line, as we’ve done with Collins.

It’ll take time to make up for the previous windows, but more of these sorts of signing are only papering over the cracks.

Lennon alongside another couple of younger, first team ready options, fine. Lennon alongside Collins and Hennessy as our summer business - not good enough.
