Decky Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Aaron Lennon - Agreed Jimmy Bullard - Good squad player so why not, need better though in our midfield Peter Crouch - No thanks Javier Saviola - No, we cant guarentee he will fit in well in the Prem or even be happy here Wayne Bridge - Nah, we have Jose, just need a back up for him Wes Brown - Nope, shite, he is good playing with class players at ManUre, wouldnt work out here. David Bentley - Agreed Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Cant see Bullard wanting to come all the way up here to be a squad player, didn';t he say he left Wigan for Fulham so he could be closer to his family in London. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Still don't think we've got a cat in hell's chance of getting Bentley. Shaun Wright-Phillips i would prefer over Lennon, but i just don't know... the whole Chelsea influence has not worked out one jot for us yet, even when we thought we were getting class/former class players off them. (Parker, Duff). Lennon, below £10m, would be a decent bit of business tbh. I think Keegan could get him playing. I'm starting to come around to that way of thinking really, out of those three right-wingers. Lennon possibly would be the better/safest/most likely option. But i wouldn't spend over the odds, cos it's still a gamble. He's younger than all of them, so even if he is in a poor patch of form, maybe he's just jaded there and needs a fresh start. There's raw materials there to work with. I reckon he's just the sort of player Keegan could get playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A teammate of his mentioned in an interview that Arshavin was given the okay to talk to us but he decided to stay at Zenit for the Champions League football next season.

There's strong rumours that SGE has offered £12m for Lennon but Levy wants around £16m. If there is £12m on the table I'd snap their hand off because I don't believe he's worth anything like that at the present time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I'd be surprised if Lennon went for as much as £12m given that he isn't a starter these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Lennon id like here, £10m sounds about right to be honest providing he's a model pro. Woldnt want to pay anymore but he's a very young gifted english player who i think could be worth a lot more in the future providing a few things go his way. In fact id love him here, i can imagine keegan being extremely encouraging of his attacking side of the game, he's a very exciting player in my opinion someone the fans could really get behind providing he's consistent. Only reservation about him is his productivity, and his attitude which i hear isnt the best. Hmmmmm.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Lol Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I'd be surprised if Lennon went for as much as £12m given that he isn't a starter these days. An indication of how little faith Ramos has Lennon's ability to deliver a half decent cross once in a while. I do like Ramos' attitude to anyone who isn't performing for whatever reason. Irrespective of whether it is a leading light or a squad player, JR's reaction is the same, They won't play if they don't match up to what Ramos wants. Lennon has to improve his final ball, doing extra training, Gilberto has some weight to lose and I won't even begin to tell you why JJ has been absent for the past couple of matches.

Holy fook he looks awesome! never seen him play live but I actually got butterflies watchin the youtube, just looks a dream signing, just how realistic is he? wiki has figures of 10 - 15 euros, seems affordable!

buzza Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Here's what I would do DEFENDERS:- Sell- Carr, ramage. Ben Haim Brown Bridge Bridge covering or playing left back with Enrique, Benhaim and brown for centre back with the added bonus that if beye get's injured we can move brown to right back. MIDFIELDERS:- Sell Zoggy (he obviously doesn't want to be here!) Deco to add both bite and creativity. Romeo castellen, extremely fast and skilful right winger. Left winger...suggestions! FORWARDS:- keep all three and add somebody to replace Viduka (from: Huntelaar, Fabiano (seville) or Berbatov) Leaving us a team of: Beye-- Brown--Benhaim---Enrique Castellan---Butt---Deco--Martins ---------Owen----Huntelaar---- If you prefer 4-3-3 just shove martins up front aswell...

thenige Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Dunno how realistic a target he is, but my one (along I'm sure with a lot of Premiership managers) is a player we've been linked with in the past, Arshavin of Zenit St. Petersberg. Anyone who's been watching the UEFA Cup this season, and in particular the game tonight against Leverkusen knows he is a lightning quick player with a lot about him. Also he's used to the cold so unlike a lot of our other foreign imports wouldn't need too much weather acclimatisation! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I'm sure, when I just scanned through this page, that someone mentioned 16m for Lennon. That for me is the funniest thing I've read in this thread so far. Jesus weptathon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
