Alan Brazil questioned "the Club"? and Ray said firmly "The Club" ! That's right Ray, you knew best. Pity you didn't do **** all about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinker Posted April 21, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21, 2016 I don't thing he will stand a chance in the championship, he's a one trick poney from what I have seen. Looks nice but over 90 minutes he's a big overhead to carry in a league that's direct and frantic. Whoever scouted this player should be picking players for an under 12's 5 a side tournament. Barcelona saw us coming from a 1000 miles , buy back clause my arse . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I think direct and frantic describe his style of play fairly well actually. I'd agree, but my only concern is that he only pulls it off 50% of the time. The other 50% will see him running into a dead end or swinging a cross out for a goal kick. Only time will tell, I guess. Like all of us, I hope he stays here and becomes a fantastic player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Only just turned 20... Most players are raw at that age, to me it looks like he has potential. He's on silly money (as are all our players) but I rather we spend the money on him than on people like Sinclair or Gabby next season. Sure his agent is working on getting him a deal away from here thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 If it was the case of signing Adama or Lennon, I would pick Adama every time. Younger, better sell on value and must have seemed exciting for Sherwood and co at the time, signing a player from Barcelona. Moreover, Lennon has hardly pulled up any trees this season has he. Hope he stays but just can't see it to be honest. If the rumours are true re his wages, we simply cannot afford it surely next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Still think he could be made in a centre forward , not in the Peter Withe type mode but in a running directly at CB's type way , he's got some pace , he's got some skills ... The championship would be a good place to give it a bash 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 He try's hard, you don't see him pissed doing hippy crack, layed out on the concrete passed out, or in a hotel room with some wanna be groupies. He stays for me 100% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El-Reacho Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Gabriel Marcotti said on his podcast a few months back that he heard from his 'contacts' that Adama was offered the same terms by both Stoke and Villa, but when he visited Villa Park he immediately decided he wanted to come to us. Can't see Stoke offering that ridiculous contract - I'd say it's exaggerated via Chinese wispers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Lennon has been Everton best player since the turn of the year and calls for him get back in England squad From Martinez Tony's right, give him a chance as a striker, still got concerns that he wants in played to feet when he blatantly should be wanting to run on to things but if he wants to be greedy go play up top, opposition would set up the whole team to cancel his pace out in theory freeing up space for the likes of Gil of he's still be here to get the freedom to prove himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 We may have wanted one or the other, but since he signed for Everton in that window, there was 0% chance of us ever getting Lennon so I'm not sure why they're being compared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 All this 'play him as a striker'. Why? He's a winger and a good one, with huge potential. Sure he's still raw, but he's got massive talent, so let's give him a chance to shine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
