The last few days all I have seen is that Liverpool are looking to take Lennon up north with a £20m move.
Letting Lennon go for me would be a massive mistake, although it scares me that it could well soon become a reality. On his day Lennon is one of the most dangerous wingers in the Premiership and when you have Bale on the left we have one of the best pairing of wingers in Europe. Maybe not the best technically but certainly one of the most dangerous as both Milan teams found out.
It worries me that Lennon has never really been one of Redknapp’s favourites without really ever doing much wrong, Harry has had no problem leaving him out the in the past. My worst scenario is come August when we come out against Everton is that David Beckham walks out the tunnel instead of Azza. Beckham may have the edge on crossing but that is useless to us until we get some strikers who can finish their dinner and too Lennon’s credit he improved a lot on his crosses last year in my opinion especially on his weaker foot.
I know some of you would be sad to see him go and some of you wouldn’t be too fussed but who would we replace him with? Would we be able to find someone else who makes us stand up from our seats in anticipations every time he goes on a run? To be a good winger you need to be able to beat a man and have pace, both are qualities that come naturally to Azza. There is also the prospect that he might want to move up north anyway and leave Harry with not much choice but I don’t think Spurs would force him to stay like we did on Luka.
It’s gossip at the moment but it’s one of the rumours that sounds a bit more likely and so we give it more credit. How big of a loss would Lennon be should he move to Anfield? For me it would be a massive mistake, it wouldn’t seem right seeing him in another shirt.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
What is wrong with us? Let’s just issue a statement like City and say we will not sell to any direct rivals. Strengthening others whilst weakening us spells M-I-D T-A-B-L-E
Thing is if you do that your also saying that in reality you cant but a player either from that club. Like Drogba for instance.
Definitively agree should never sell to any of our rivals.
Lennon is one of our best players and has great work ethic, is young and not going anywhere.
COYS
I would not shed a tear should Lennon go. He doesn’t impose himself in any game like Bale does on his day. He also has the look of a little boy, no intimidation at all. His end ball is still useless and he will always go for the easy option, i.e. cut inside and play a short pass. I can’t remember seeing Lennon skinning the opposition full back on the outside and whipping in a great delivery. Such a shame as he has great potential. I badly wanted him to be as good as Ronaldo, a player he himself said he wanted to emulate, but this last year he has regressed rather than progressed.
You’ve never seen him skin a player on the outside…what about against AC Milan when he passed beautifully for Crouchie to get the winner. You must have something in your eyes to say he has regressed. Bale always has BAE to support him whereas Lennon gets a choice of three…Corluka, Hutton or Kabul and so he gets little chance to form a good partnership with anyone and has to do it alone most of the time. Be careful what you wish for because selling Lennon could come back and haunt us.
Lennon ran through in the inside right position to set up Crouchie against AC. He seems better running through there as he can go either side. He doesn’t tend to get down the line to the by line so much as he used to. Don’t want him to leave but could try and get Milner off of city IF they’ll do business with us now or try Gio!!
Milner?!?!? Lay f the crack. Milner can’t even beat an egg, no pace, no tricks, no hope. Never read so much $hite in my life. Might as well replace him with Bentley. Oh yeah I forgot that is why he never gets a look in. No point in being able to cross a ball when you can never get in a position to do it.
Yeah like David Beckham for instance……….Oooops
dont talk such rubbish, lennon has been great for us for the past 4 years, and is still young enough to improve, bale has given us about dozen good games & now no others are good enough, you seem to forget until bale found his feet after two injuries, lennon has been our only outlet, how he is not 1st choice right wing for england is a joke in its self, if he goes liverpool hope you wont be shedding any tears when he is sticking them up for carrol week in week out.
Agree with ya….Harry knows what he is doing.He has proved that. Lennon is all flash with no end product most of the time. Just like Bentley
Why do we have to issue a statement every time a newspaper invents a story?
Stop believing what you read, problem solved.
Exactly Chivers. The papers have run daily stories on Modric- to Chelsea, Bale- threatening to leave, Sandro- off to Italy or Spain, Defoe- off to Arsenal, Crouch- off to Sunderland, JJ, Kaboul & Hutton- to Bolton, Gomes- back to Holland, VdV- to a CL team, Pav- back to Russia, which left only Lennon (don’t get me started on Dawson) as the last first XI player apart from BAE without a transfer story…hence off to Liverpool. Simple
Totally agree – same goes for Chelsea & Modric, we should be issuing a statement saying bugger off to all other Prem clubs for any of our top players. As Spursman says it’s exactly what MC have done, preventing us from taking Bellamy last season, and I would have been after Given too myself but what do I know.
The only solution to selling Lennon is to play Dos Santos more often (he’s pure class, he should not be sold) or get in Seamus Coleman from Everton who in my opinion has a very bright career ahead – he’s lightning quick just like Lennon and we could really go places if we build on this pace asset.
Lennon is one of my favourite and i would be very sad to see him go. Keep Lennon at the Lane….Please
likewise me will be very sad to see him go.one of the best wingers today a thread to any defence, levi open your eyes well well………………………
Think of the crucial goals – Arsenal 4-4. Think of the run against AC Milan to feed Crouch. Enough said.
you forgot the winner against Liverpool at home. Azza is one of the players we must keep.
Good point – all the more reason to keep him.
I was at the Lane when Azza scored that late goal vs Bindippers. half the East Stand Upper had emptied and I was literally egging Azza on at the end, stomping along the aisle and then he smacked the ball in the net and the last few hundred fans in the stand erupted…’appy daze
“Few hundred fans in the stand” Maybe instead of wasting his time trying to get the Olympic Stadium, Levy should look at ground sharing at Orient.
Dont get me wrong, I dont want to see Lennon go… I like him – and like someone else has already said; with Lennon and Bale on either flank we really can peg back the other team.
However… in terms of who would we use to replace him, we have VDV already so maybe that would be an option. Not his prefered position I know but sometimes in the middle I feel he and Luka are somewhat cancelling eachother out at times.
Vdv is useless as a winger. It would be a massive mistake and it would be too hard to replace Lennon.
You must be joking, VDV hasn’t got the legs to be a winger, he would need a bloody bike.
you mean a motorbike
Hahahahahaha. A big engine as well for his fat arse
van der Vaart, no matter where his starting position is, will invariably move towards the middle. He leaves the full back completely exposed because he’s always out of position. Doesn’t seem to work as effectively as playing Kranjcar on the left somehow.
You can’t coach speed.
You can actually, condition training helps to build speed up but I agree, you’re either born with pace, or not…
if we had to lose him, I’d like us to go for nani, hes fallen down the pecking order as young has been signed and i reckon we could get him for £15m which I think would be great business especially if we could sell lennon for £20m plus Nani would be an improvement
the midfield of
Bale Modric Sandro Nani
^^^ now thats the best midfield in the prem
nani for 15m? you’re joking right
Having said that, I would put a cheeky bid of £25m for Nani. If Man Poo accept it, then sell Lennon for £20m. For £5m extra and we get a much better right-winger in Nani (much as I like Lenster)…
Marc your a dick, stop playing fifa!
When the Lenster has Kyle Walker behind him next season I think we’ll see the best of him again.
Nani for 15mill, LOL! U doughnut
this is a good point, if Lennon and Walker can form a partnership like BAE and Bale and with THudd/Sandro/Modric in the center we will have some very very deadly attacks.. all we need is a younger striker like Sturridge, Damiao, Rondon, ect. and an experienced striker in Forlan, Drogba, or Berbs.. hate to say it but i think Defoe has to go (doesnt work great with VDV).. KEEP LENNON
Completely agre.. mouth waterin to c kyle back!! hope he doesn dissappoint..!
Tell you what, a young strike-force of Damiao and Sturridge would be very interesting…(if only Chelscum would sell to us)
if we do sell lennon, we have a great replacement in andros townsend, give him some time and games with the first team, and watch him shine.
As Beckham is conracted to LA Galaxy until end of November, it is not very likely that he will be running out in a spurs shirt in August !!! He might be a decent player for promoted team like QPR, but a pretty pointless signing for us, as too old. A good impact player some might say. If we want an impact player we could always resign the fruitloop that is Adel Taraabt ( better than Messi in his own strange world). Also, who drops out of the 25 man squad to make way? Unless Harry is building a team to win the vets tounament at Fulham next year, he is not needed at Spurs.This is not a retirement home!!!!! Beckham just needs a team to get him fit enough to play for Team GB in olympics.
I too like the idea of Nani as a winger for us
Media bullshit.
When is it not…
