Everton fear Lennon transfer could be wrecked by £10m price

[jezz]

Lennon looked good in the CL.
When was that?
3 years ago.
Says it all really,

Sell him for less money and first-option on George Green

 

[chinaman]

If there's just 1 year left on his contract, Levy shouldn't try to haggle too much. Otherwise Lennon could let the contract run down and we'll get nothing. 6 million pounds would seem alright.

Everton are worried it won't happen.... not as worried as I am!

Just be gone with him. He's 28, has one year left on his contract and he relies on pace... which won't last much longer. Sell and move on, I'd think 6m is fair.

If Lennon showed the same commitment as he is at Everton he would be playing instead of Lamela. Not so long ago given the ball he used to beat the left back (or whoever was in front of him) and was a threat, but more recently given the ball he would check and pass the ball back to the person who passed the ball to him. 10m tops

So Lennon has "excelled" since arriving at Everton, but they only want to pay for the old crappy Lennon ?

Lennon's easily been Everton's best player since his arrival and's turned their season around kind of so £8-9M is not a lot for a 27 years who settled in right away and shown work ethics that's impressed their players and manager.
Don't be skint Everton.
Lennon needed a change of environment so I don't miss him personally; he had stagnated as Spurs (even before Poch came in).

Christ. He has no future here. Best to get his wages off for as much money as they'd pay. Same thing goes with Ade, Kaboul, Capoue, Bobby, Vlad, and Paulinho. Get the wages off the books. Stop haggling over the fees. No need for it. We shouldnt be haggling for 5m on Ade or Kaboul. Shouldnt be haggling for 10m on Lennon. Shouldnt be haggling for 15 on bobby, or paulinho. Shouldnt be haggling for 8-10 on capoue or vlad. These are times when we shouldnt be comparing what other players, who may or may not be as good as our guys, are going for. Who the fuck cares?!? Get the wages off the books! Go 3m on Ade and Kaboul, 6-7m on Lennon. 10-12 on bobby and paulinho. 5m of vlad and capoue. That could be 30-40m right there for the 7 of them without haggling for more

Haggle on the fees for Dembele and Townsend, the 2 players who have good value that we could sell, for some more money. If we could somehow get 25-30m out of these sales, we'd be in good shape.

9 off the books(w/o counting Holtby, Brad, Ceballos, and Carroll/Fredericks who could all very well leave). 55m-75m in fees brought in without counting Holtby and Carroll/Fredericks(who i think are likely to be sold). 12-14 players in total off on perms. Massive relief on the wage bill giving us flexibility in the transfer market without having to tap in on the tv or commercial money that we could use on operating costs and new stadium costs on the year before we get another sizable windfall of cash from the new tv deal(s)

Like most of this,but what club in there right mind would pay 12 million for Soldado and give him 80k a week odd wages.

I saw Michael McIntyre last night and he told a story about when he went to the dressing room at Tottenham to meet the players...he went on to say that he's not surprised that Aaron Lennon was always cutting in from the left, apparently he is a tripod.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

What's the point of him getting behind defences if he can't cross or shoot? He's only slightly improved those attributes down the years but not by much. He has been living on borrowed time for years

In all fairness Mullers who do we have that can do that?

Just where is David Bentley these days?..................................

What beat the full back but can't cross or shoot?
I must be missing something here.

There's nothing to fear, everton, just give us Mirallas.

Yes, straight swap.
