Lennon completes transfer to Burnley

The 30-year-old's contract with the Blues was due to expire in the summer but he has elected to move to Turf Moor in search of regular first-team football.
The Blues agreed a small fee for Lennon while the player is happy with the personal terms on offer with the Clarets.
Signed by Roberto Martinez in 2015, initially on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, Lennon earned a permanent deal at Goodison Park with his performances under the Catalan and made the switch from White Hart Lane for £4.5m the following August.
Since then he has made 77 appearances for Everton, scoring nine goals.

Like others have mentioned he always gave a good account of himself, with full commitment; he also had to fight his demons outside of football; he came through all that too.
Slightly off topic, but I see we are linked with Joe Bryan of Bristol City; they have mentioned a fee of ٥M, which would be a snip at today's inflated prices; most of the ones who are untried and unknown from the Continent are being mentioned in the 㿀M plus category.
I will be watching him tonight, against Man City, which will be an uphill task; but home advantage, a one-goal deficit; anything is possible, look at Swansea last night!

Good luck at Burnley Lennon, you will be playing under a good manager for once.

Also put team first by protecting Kenny to the detriment of his own offense. May he find success and happiness.

Good Luck Aaron hope things are good for you at Burnley.
You will be well remembered for your input here.

He deserves game time; something Everton can't provide as every point is precious at this stage.

Effort.
Hope Burnley loves ya. Role model for any player as he always gave 100%.
21 Posted 23/01/2018 at 21:31:20
I recognise the fact that he had health issues and am pleased for him that he overcame them but let's not go overboard. I expect (but do not get) 100% commitment from all of our players in every game - Aaron was probably more committed than most of the current sorry bunch but I wouldn't elevate him to the level of the truly 100% committed players we've had in the past.
For me, a limited player who gave of his best most of the time I wish him well.
ps: Whatever happened to Josh Sims, a superstar in the making according to Sky pundits that day!

I think you're in a generous mood, James. Only since Koeman's sacking??? Are you sure. What about the other 20 years?

Didn't want Lennon in the first place (back when ٢m wasn't peanuts!) but appreciated his effort this term, he's had a great attitude and for that it's a shame to see him leave before the summer. Best of luck!

Bolasie, I'm not sure we can really even class him at this current moment in time as “quick†to me, he seems to have lost a yard since he's been back Maybe he'll improve but...
Then you have Lookman who yet again doesn't even make the bench last Saturday just what is the issue surrounding him???
Vlasic I think the jury has remained out; he showed some good touches early in the season but in recent appearances he's kind of done nothing.
30 Posted 24/01/2018 at 11:42:04
He had struck up a good understanding with Kenny, always put a shift in and would have only got more effective if the team got going. No coincidence Kenny had a poor game on Saturday with no Lennon in front of him.
We now have a striker playing wide instead of a winger. So unnecessary and shortsighted.
31 Posted 24/01/2018 at 12:18:18
Before Christmas, Kenny went on record about how great it was the understanding he had struck up with Lennon. I guess Kenny's time at right back will be coming to an end soon anyhow.
The club has probably seen Lennon surplus to requirements but I would have done it in summer not now.
It's clear as day Lookman has no long term future with Everton, not one manager fancies him, so there's clearly something wrong there?
Let's hope Walcott has left his injury woes behind him at Arsenal because he's all we've really got.

I know we have to trim the squad but he hasn't had a fair crack at the whip yet and the current first team are royally shite.
Also, Allardyce is contemplating Lookman out on loan.
Seriously!
