Aaron Lennon ( On Loan January 2015 )

[larrygobfiend]

He's rapid for a small lad.

 

[Billy Dean]

His arrival lessens the chance of mcgeady starting. For that reason alone I'm in.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Just a lad that needs a manager like Martinez to put his arm around him and say "Listen Aaron, you have phenominal pace, your decision to join us is extremely pleasing and our squad will benefit from your know how".

Seriously though, great move here. Only a loan so it is a win/win situation.

Coleman and Lennon could form something special.

He's 27 and quick, he's on a loan so if he's crap he can go back.

If he's alright we can buy him.

Let's give the lad a chance.

Surely all proper Evertonians will do this

 

[Groucho]

What have we got to lose?

He may even do a good job.

@Tony_Scott11: Speaking to a few Spurs fans here.
They're sad to see their longest serving player go and reckon he'll be a great asset to Everton.

Desperately want to get on board this 'He's boss' bus.

Some bad flutes turning their noses up at this lad imo.

Pace and work rate.

Loan with option to buy! Good deal. Fingers crossed he can assist Lukaku

 

[Vaughan]

quite happy about this tbh

a few years ago he was one of the best wingers in the league. he hasnt gone [Poor language removed], just stale. surprised he never moved on from spurs really. suppose he just wasnt quite good enough for man u, chelsea, arsenal

change in scenery could bring him back to those levels, he's still only 27.

The poll at the top of this thread is eerily reminiscent to the one on the Samuel Eto'o thread.

 

[Falcao]

What happened to Atsu?

 

[efc27]

Nice signing. Proper player

I always think the "assists" stat is most artificial of the plethora of "stats" which plague the mindset of a certain breed of modern day manager and fan.

For all we know a player might have put it on a plate half a dozen times in a game for a mis-firing striker and gets credited with no "assists"

You're correct to a certain degree. People become fixated on the statistics of a player, possibly a result of the FIFA and Fantasy Football generation.

A player does not have to make the final pass of a move, or even actually score, to be vital to the overall move. Players can offer different things.

On the other hand though, you could argue for the likes of Fàbregas whose assist rate is phenomenal. That statistic is far from artificial.

Although to be fair Cesc is far from your average player. In laymen's terms: goals and 'assists' are only one aspect of what a player can offer.

It saddens me that people are already almost hoping that he fails, just to justify their own judgements of the lad.
