Aaron Lennon anybody?

Post by scouseclaret » Tue Jan 17, 2017 2:45 pm

Not wanted by Everton fans apparently.

Still only 29 - could do a lot worse...

Wouldn't mind is his wages are affordable. Would give us something we don't currently have.

Would Everton let him go to a Europa League rival?

Pace? Yes. Trickery? Yes. Can he kick a football? No.

Could do a lot worst on paper and at a reasonable price and contract length.

Not sure he'd take a wage cut to join us though.

Aaron Lennon 29 as is Max Gradel, Gradel has had a significant injury problems.
Lennon is a proven prem winger, but is he someone who we can afford?
On balance I think Tom Ince would be a better option.

Would improve our options out wide and has played most of his career in the top flight. Can't be as bad as some are making out.

Think we may be better off financially than Inter, so shouldn't be a problem.

As if we need a goal scoring winger with bags of pace, you know the type that gets you up the field instead of chasing back.
Wages could be a big problem but would be a massive step up on anyone we currently have.

Always used to frustrate me watching him as he was often brilliant getting to great positions beating a man and then be running so fast he lost all ability to deliver the ball.

Great player until it comes to crossing the ball. I think he's worth a punt on loan though.

I haven't seen anything that would suggest he shouldn't be the first name on the teamsheet

I'm not sure who some people are kidding suggesting Aaron Lennon isn't a good player. He's played something like 300 games in the Premier League. You can't do that as an average player. Plus we all know Dyche has a tendency to get the best from his players. Not suggesting it's a realistic signing but just for a bit of balance.

Lennon on the right with Brady on the left sounds pretty good to me
But, would only want him on a loan until the end of the season to see how things go

Would much sooner have Deulofeu on loan. Or Jefferson Montero. Both better players than Lennon, and younger.

I think it would be more important to tell his dad to ***** off first.

But both highly unlikely to be signing for us.

Unlike Andre.

Fast and tricky.

Wins free kicks, throw ins and gets us further up the field.

Could be great to bring on v tiring defenses and when Andre is spent

I think I'll reserve judgement until I've read abc's opinion.
