Transfer Window Thread

[Kev The Rat]

The signings of Lennon particularly and even Cleverly are not going to take us forward. I suspect Shaqiri would have been a step in the right direction and Deulofeu probably is as well. But We've got enough average players as it is and Lennon and cleverly (and Evans if we sign him) fit squarely in that category.

Lennon;
i) he was one of the few bright spots towards the end of the season

ii) he isn't McGeady

Where did ManU and Spurs finish last season?

I don't think either were an integral part of the team though.

Surprise that the Lennon story gets leaked after shaq turns us down and stans doing his show.




I like Lennon but hope he's not the best of what's coming in

Smells of a panic buy to appease a fanbase really doesn't it?

I'd be happy if we signed Lenninho and Evanovic. And you would be too you bad bunch of foreign name lovers.

Surprised at the Lennon negativity. He was impressive last season and is perfect as his pace stretches the opposition.

Cleverley also seems decent. I know we all want the marquee signing but you need a good overall squad too.

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

He was particularly useful last Spring, and there were one or two times someone like Lennon was dearly missed

Have people not got any memory? For half a season he was comfortably our best player and added goals and assists to the team. He actually wants to leave a sky six team to play for us as he likes the club yet people don't want him because he's not a super young foreign prodigy Fifa starlet.

It's not that really. A player from another country has an unpredictability. A player with ten years in the prem and a reputation for having no end product is just a bit 'meh'.

 

[Mrk]

Lennon would be a perfectly good signing, as long as he wasn't signed at the expense of a number 10.

 

[OKEvertonian]

Just because Lennon isn't the direct answer to some of the larger issues, doesn't mean we shouldn't forget he helps with other issues. Like hopefully not seeing Barkley, Naismith or Cleverly on the wing for extended periods of time.

The only time Coleman gave some sort of performance last season was with Lennon in front of him. Started to look like the Coleman we know. Sure he's not a world class player but like you said he was out best player by an absolute country mile last season once he found his feet.

Fingers crossed we get him in for a small fee and get the other 3 in Bobby has mentioned.

 

[Librarian]

Lennon is better than Shaqiri.

He's the Swiss Baxter, another Andy Van, wait till he finds out that 'the Potters' has nothing to do with weed

 

[Hibbertinho]

Not too bad that idea though

Have we even tried that at any point? I want a brand new playmaker too like, and not some fisherprice one to tide us over... but on occasions I can remember Mirallas has been really effective down the middle when called upon over the years.

Kev likes cutting inside a lot anyway which maybe is in fact just his thing he likes to do and he's better left on the wing.... but his guile in the middle and willingness to be direct for Lukaku's slotmanship, when combined with someone with pace who hugs the touchline in Lennon and frees up Coleman to charge beautifully through people sounds boss to me... And Deulofeu on the left, too, maybe that could work.

But to get back to the good 'ol days we sort of want a like-for-like Pienaar replacement. Not easy...
