Looks a decent player to me. Very good technically, cool on the ball and can pick a pass. How many goals and assists did he get last season?

Ohh thought you were taking the mick lol. He's a really good player yeah, at the moment though I'd have him behind Van Dijk and Bitton (boss CM, like a poor man's Busquet's) as Celtic's best player. Johansen was bought as a CM/DM but plays primarily behind the striker now. He is pretty good on the ball and can pick a fantastic pass, quite inconsistent though. Type of guy who will ping a ball 50 yards with the outside of his boot then mess up a 5 yard square pass. Biggest asset is his fitness/work ethic. The distance this guy covers is unreal. Like I said, runs more than Jimmy Mac, absolutely essential to Celtic's high pressing system.

Last year = 13 goals, 11 assists
This year so far = 3 goals, 2 assists

I think we will get Dembele from Fulham still, but would prefer a striker ready for the 1st team now, but unless somebody takes Kone or Naismith that is probably unlikely.

Evans nailed on, maybe not so much Lennon if something else comes available.

Hopefully Nolito still on the cards as the marquee signing to keep everybody who loves a foreign signing still happy.

Lennon is a desperate move. Tired of this all. Doesn't get in the starting 11 for me when everyone is fit.

 

[Pat's Van]

he's far more elegant than you though

and eloquent too

 

[Librarian]

Shaqiri is just a blond Baxter

 

[Walken]

and eloquent too

is that a drink or sumthin

 

[Tin-Tin]

I think there's no doubt that 2 of the 3 are Lennon and Evans.

Seeing how Lennon isnt the striker, No.10 or CB Martinez said he wanted only a couple of days ago, I dont think he is.

 

[ToffeeTownMilto]

I'd take Lennon.... but with a No.10 too.

Did he actually say number 10?

I keep seeing it but now am
Worried he didn't actually use that word

 

[Saint Domingo]

I like Lennon, he makes us better. Good in attack and defence and his work rate shames the others into pressing more. Will be better than watching Barkley or Cleverley on the wing.

 

[AsiaAsia82]

If Lennon and Evans are two of the three then shows a real lack of ambition by the club and mid table to possible relegation battle for this season.
Oh hold on same as last season then with no Europa league excuses.
I really really hope I'm wrong.

Where did ManU and Spurs finish last season?

 

[Greek Fisherman]

Aaron Lennon is a limited football who is not good enough for EFC.
Just reading the comments, they reek of desperation.

We missed out on Shaqiri, so lets sign someone, sign anyone.... Pathetic.

 

[By god I'm blue]

Lennon suffers with some of the fans obviously for not having a foreign enough sounding name.

He would be a decent squad player, is direct and intelligent and very experienced, for a low fee I really don't see the problem.

He's a big upgrade on squad players we have bought in the past!

 

[MACCA75]

You would be hard pushed to put more than 1 from Del, Lennon, Cleverley and Evans into our best eleven. If Pienaar and Gibson are fit, arguably none.

Not hugely inspiring so far.

 

[Firhillfill]

Lennon changed our fortunes almost single handedly last year and was so often the out ball and sense of urgency we lacked for the entire first half of the season.
