Lennon grateful for successful Everton loan

Given that he is ineligible to face his parent club Tottenham on Sunday, the 27-year-old's spell with the Blues is effectively over but he expressed to evertonfc.com just how much he has enjoyed from a confidence-boosting few months at Goodison Park.
“I've loved it from the first moment I arrived here,” Lennon said. “Everyone has been brilliant, I've settled in and it's been great to get some football as well.
“Obviously, it was a tough start to the season for me when I wasn't playing, but, from the first moment the gaffer called me, I couldn't wait to work with him and he's done nothing but impress me since I've been here.
“The way he wants to play, the confidence he has shown in me and the confidence he's given me has been unbelievable.”
Lennon will return to Spurs with his future somewhat in the balance. Roberto Martinez has told of his admiration for the way the winger settled so quickly and gave his side an extra dimension but it remains to be seen if he will pursue a permanent deal for him and, if so, whether he will be an affordable option.

We need a good winger, heÂs a good winger. Would love to see Del as well, but prefer a creative midfielder in place of Barkley behind Lukaku.

Was just what we needed at a time when we seemed to be sleepwalking into a serious relegation battle (just look at Newcastle!).
He came in, is clearly very well liked by the players and has a very infectious attitude, heÂs one of those characters like a Rooney, Gerrard, Terry, Beckham, Neville etc that simply gets a thrill out of playing football and running.
I was also quite surprised that considering he had hardly played all season, his fitness seemed excellent, maybe tired a little towards the last three matches but to be expected.
Hope he comes back!

Wonder if he will be at Goodison on Sunday for the lap of apprecation? He can say goodbye to the Spurs fans!

If we can get him for less than ٣M then fine but good luck getting value out of Levy.

15 million for Jack Rodwell..
Need we say more??

He is in the same bracket as McGeady for me, capable of doing something now and again, is that the type of player what we should be looking at?
If he was free I would say yes, but paying a load of money for Lennon will be a mistake.

Hard working with some skill going forward, he’d be a decent buy if we have the money for the fee and his wages are reasonable.
I tend to think thought that he may end up with a newly promoted side or one of the bottom half teams if they are willing to stump up higher end wages.

Two Man of the Match performances! Sign him up for ٤M like Spurs originally said, hold them to it & they owe us after the Pienaar deal. I’d love Geri as well on-loan with a view to a permanent transfer!

Although these transfer rules seem to be a load of bollocks – see Man Utd signing a player before the window even opens.
I seem to recall Lennon left Leeds at the age of 17 when they had a fire-sale. I am certain one of their youngsters was offered to us for ٟm, and can’t recall if it was Lennon or Milner. I’m sure it was Lennon though. Anyone recall this, and know why we didn’t take up the offer?

Matt 22: It certainly wasn’t Milner, although he did have trials with us when he was maybe 14. We offered him a deal but naturally he opted for Leeds.

His final ball will always be erratic, but as others have said, if we can get him at a sensible price, it would be worth it for what he brings to the side.
28 Posted 22/05/2015 at 10:32:24
You have to look at their other attributes such as temperament, attitude etc – will they fit in with the clubs ethos and also the players.
Lennon may have one or two deficiencies but he has the other attributes required to compensate for these deficiencies.
29 Posted 22/05/2015 at 10:33:16
Lennon – at a sensible price then yes; but for me; we should go back for Del Boy as he’s got something to prove.

32 Posted 22/05/2015 at 12:15:28
He is better than McGeady so it’s a no-brainer at the right price.

I hope we get Aaron too, as long as the price is right. I think almost every deal weÂve done with Spurs and Levy has had us upside down shaking our pockets out for every last penny. He knew how badly Pienaar wanted to come back here and even though most of us wanted him back we paid over the odds for a footballer his age, this season is a testament to that.
So, Blue Bill, if youÂre going to buy Lennon, make sure that mingebag bastard doesnÂt stitch us up. I have seen it in one or two of the red tops (so it must be true... ;-) that heÂs after ٧ million.

It was a great surprise to see Lennon arrive on the Everton Bus. When asked about this, to the delight of all the kids and the surprise of all the adults, he candidly said if things go the way he wants them to, he will be "on this bus next season too".
Wheels appear to be in motion. and as many have already said. this will definitely come down to the Tottenham Chairman.
Also worth noting was the Spurs supporters chanting "Your just as shit as Aaron Lennon" to Mirallas after heÂd skied one in the first half.

IÂd go for Lindegaard (Man Utd), Van Dijk (Celtic), Nolito (Spain), Hernandez (Man Utd) and Redmond, Delboy or Januzaj to give us width and velocity. As the majority would be loans, 㿀m should do it.
