Aaron Lennon ( On Loan January 2015 )

[Gwladys St. Glory]

But who in the name of Zeus' butthole would pay £3m for McGeady?

Someone just watched 'The Rock'...

 

[carolinablue232]

This. Half that and then I would consider him as a squad player. £6m can get us better internationally.

Not saying you're wrong, but who do you have in mind?

Nobody in particular...but add that £6m to another £6m and you are looking at a good player. We have to stop getting all these average players on the cheap. Won't win anything.

£6m on an average 28 year old footballer? why not save that £6m and put it towards a quality winger that will cost more?

It's not too bad of a deal I don't think. £6m really isn't much in the current market.

He'll have pace to burn for another 3 years at least you'd imagine and he's an improvement on McGeady, Atsu and a never fit Pienaar. I agree we need to bring in more quality but I'm happy to have him as a squad option.

Yes but the thing is we're gonna need to buy more than one winger this summer.

I'm confused. You just said 6m could get us better internationally. Now we're up to 12m? Unfortunately we don't have the kitty that some teams do. I think 6m is a bit much for Lennon, but I think he brings us something we need, and in today's market, it's not a terrible deal. We'd get 3 good years from him.

No, I said don't waste the £6m on average when it can go towards paying for a quality player. Aren't you tired of seeing average footballers at Everton?

You clearly did...

This....Its sad we are even considering signing him....I mean he's not bad, but just average.

OK..I stand corrected and apologize profusely

This...I would only consider him as a squad player on a free.

To be fair, he's a better winger than Naismith.

 

[kithnou]

To be fair, he's a better winger than Naismith.

As I said in the appropriate Naismith thread...

I would fly to the UK to personally drive him anywhere he wants to go....

 

[kithnou]

To be fair, he's a better winger than Naismith.

Imagine how good it would be to replace both with quality?

In the summer we will probably see McGeady go back to Celtic for around £3m. Hes been a non entity this season so we would effectively be getting Lennon for £3m. Not a bad deal in this day and age. TBH even £6m for Lennon is a good deal given todays prices.
