The big thing it would do would be to help the full back behind him, which when Seamus came back would have allowed him to bomb forward knowing their was suitable cover to back him up

Lennon's assistance from a defensive perspective cannot be understated

I personally think he wasn't going to get many minutes if he'd stayed so moving on was the right action, but to deny he wouldn't have brought anything to the team if he had played is incorrect

A defensive winger woooooo. He's one of the 4 main attacking positions in our team so he needs some output. We have no idea how Coleman will return.

Being a defensive winger is a skill

Defensive doesn't equal bad

You want to know what skills he brings to the table, that's one of them

He also runs against defences and still has pace at his age

He has useful skills

To deny those skills is idiocy

Does it make him an amazing player? No. Does it mean he can a useful cog in a successful squad if used correctly? Absolutely

We'll agree to disagree on whether or not we'll miss him. Shows how far short we are of being this apparent big club if we'll miss a Lennon on the pitch IMO.

Big clubs have useful players like Lennon in their squads

They may not play every week, but they're still there to be called upon when necessary

You can't have a squad full of superstar players

Model pro's like Lennon are just what you need in the support role

It's why Chelsea have a Drinkwater and the successful Man United side of the 90's had a Brian Mcclair. It's why Man City want Johhny Evans

Indeed. See Ashley Young at United as a good example.

Mate Lennon plays for Burnley, and Vlasic hasn't really proven what position he plays best in at all. So there we go, we have two natural (proven) wide players (I'd actually say just one because I don't deem Bolasie as worthy of playing in this division), and that's it.

Sorry, meant Lookman.
 
He is 30 now and needs to be getting plenty of time on the pitch.

We have Walcott and we need to get Lookman onto the pitch as well.

Hopefully it is a move that benefits all.
