Willy Rushton may not have put it 100%, but I get his point. Lennon is not the step up we are all hoping for surely!?

Why do we need to go out and spend another 20 million on a winger though when we already want Nasri? Lennon would make a good squad player and no one can compare him to an of our other players apart from SWP and he is a massive step up. He has qualities we lack, the pace that we lack.

In fairness he's more than good enough for the bottom prem sides and carling cup. He would just be a squad player but a squad player we can actually use unlike adebayor.

Adebayor is useless to us, he's too disruptive causes too much trouble we can't actually play him. So in a sense to bring in any player we can use as part of the squad would be a big bonus at the moment.

On a side note even with 3 more signings with the players we expect to move on we would still only have a pro over 21 squad of 21 players. I personally think swp will be retained if he is willing to accept he will struggle to get on the bench even for the big games and won't be playing that much.

I don't really rate lennon that highly, average nothing more. He comes across as a bit of a headless chicken.

However I am desperate to get rid of badabayor, we need cover on the wing so I would take just about any swap deal for him for a player we actually need and can use just to get him out of the club.

Still think his wages will be the big issue with him going there. The fact Harry is letting him go shows he is not that good but I would still take this deal, unfortunately ade is such a prick no one else wants him.

Well make your fucking mind up !!! Within 12 mins he`s gone from AVERAGE,to MORE THAN GOOD ENOUGH !!!!!
I fookin despair with some of you numpties !!

Oakie, you have taken what he said out of context. He's average but more than good enough against bottom sides = struggles against top sides = average

Not out of context at all !! By the same token he has used two different versions to whinge and then say well he`s not as bad as he initially made out !!
If you look at the whole of the Spurs forward line and midfield last season they were shite.
He`s more than good enough against the top sides and I`ve seen Ash Cole been given a torrid time against him.

Agreed on the Nasri front, that's if we are gonna get him. I don't agree that Lennon is a MASSIVE step up from SWP, opinions clearly differ on this thread but they are similar players (similar, not that same!). His pace is the only real danger, the rest (skill, passing, goalscoring) are matched elsewhere.

I'm not that fussed about Lennon and would be a little disappointed if we got him. We've been spoilt by the likes of Kun's signing suppose!

 

[Rushton121]

Lennon falls into the Walcott category, all pace but not much else.

SWP > Lennon

 

[lionheart]

Lennon would be a useful acquisition if the price is right. Meanwhile, how come nobody seems bothered by our paucity of quality goalkeeping cover? We should swap that Finnish guy at Bolton (whose name I cannot spell) for one or two of our rejects...RSC and Bridge spring to mind, then problem solved. Otherwise it will be the only area where we are significantly worse off than we were this time last season.

 

[HellasLEAF]

nah, I believe Lennon is better than Walcott. It's a toss up with SWP though. Sweep can really shoot.

Name me a player who is a massive step up then?<br /><br />-- Wed Aug 03, 2011 11:42 am --<br /><br />

Na, Walcott's better than SWP.

I think Lennon is a good fit. The one thing we truly lack on the wing is pace, Lennon brings that. Ade clearly needs to go and Lennon had his issues with Ary last year, this seems to make sense, same reason why it makes me think this is all newspaper guessing and connecting their own dots. As much as I like Nasri as a player, he is clearly class, I would find it impossible to support him, he's just not my kind of guy and I'm not sure he'd fit in with the current group, which finally seems to be meshing a little bit without Carlito around, btw, what about a player plus cash deal involving Coutinho???? gets RM his midfielder, hes young and Inter get to keep eto'o and sniejder.

Sanchez would have been but obviously wasn't to be. As would Tranny, but that aint gonna happen either. Nasri floats more central, so is not comparable. It all depends on how Mancini wants his team to pan out i.e. with more width (wingers a priority) or more fluid in-field passing (eg. Silva). Lennon, for me, sounds like an after thought.

Lads you can't let your love for SWP get in the way of the fact that he was useless last year. Lennon is so much better, whenever I've seen him his end product was decent and better than shaunies. We all know about his pace but he can get past players using skill too. He might not be as good as sanchez but he would still be a top addition.

I know Sweeps left foot isn't the best (!), but Lennon is so one footed he is often easily read. He consistently does the same move, albeit beating many a defender on the way. I respect everyones opinion on who is better than who, but he's not for me.

 

[Akira]

I wouldn't complain if we get Lennon. Good on the ball, still young, and is home-grown.

 

[PistonBlue]

T'riffic player.

Arry must be fackin mental the cant.

 

[boothy202]

imo lennon is a good player and i do want too see the back of ade!!

but would it not be worth tempting spuds with maybe ade plus cash n try and land bale?

surely would be more realistic than ade for lennon

 

[bzekosilva]

i would be content to give sweep a good shot this year tbf surely to god somebody must want badabayour?

 

[alera]

Providing spurs can

A - get him to go there
B - afford his wages
C - keep him motivated for longer than 10 games not including playing arsenal and now city

He will definitely improve them more than Lennon would improve us.

However I would like to think we have moved on to a different level from spurs now.

If we are worried about what they are doing after last season and all the players we have signed we really would have a big problem.

I just see if getting rid of a big problem and distraction a player who contributes nothing for us now and replacing with one that we will find useful. No one else wants him at the end of the day soi think this would be good business.

 

[hertsblue]

Think we are writing off Spurs too easily. Top 4 again will be hard fought for. Spurs have a very large squad and if Modric had stuck his chance away at 0-0 v us instead of inches wide, the outcome could have been different.

Saying that, i think now alot of our players are in thier 2nd season with us and how we ended last year we can maintain that and push on but its not a given we will end up in the top 4
