Lennon agrees Burnley move

[Marius57]

Good luck. Hope he does well there. Worked hard and earned the plaudits he is getting from us. Glad he has come
back and proved himself again after his troubles.

 

[malfosse]

Nice to see him in a better place, no I don't mean Burnley.
Good luck for the future.

Best of luck Aaron, always put in a shift when many others weren't arsed over the last 3 years

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Best of luck to him. A pretty good signing for the money, wasn’t his permanent transfer only around 4 million?

 

[MikeH72]

Burnley's a good fit for him. Best wishes Aaron!

 

[royalbalou]

Will be remembered fondly by Evertonians, as is any player that gives his all and respects the club


You reading Barkley?

 

[Huyton Layne]

Glad he's stayed in the top flight, can still do a job. Not shocked by his destination given how hard the Dyche has his squad working.

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Best wishes to him. Great too that he's joined another PL club - it would have been "easier" for him to sign for a Championship club, but he obviously feels he still has plenty to prove at this level for a couple of years yet.

Shame, I liked his tenacity and pace, always thought he was underrated. Good luck to the lad and thanks for your contribution.

Onto other matters .... What did we get for him?

 

[captainvindaloo]

A true professional. The game needs more with his sort of character.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

If you’d said Walcott in Lennon out before the window, you’d be mad not to go for that. All the best lid, good egg is Aaron.

Good move for all involved I think. Whilst I appreciate effort, working hard and tracking back well isn't really enough for a right-winger in a team that plays 4-3-3/4-5-1, has to be some forward productivity. He will be remembered in a positive light though, wish him all the best at Burnley.

 

[toffee-L]

Surprised to be honest, he's a player with zero value so waiting until the summer and releasing him wouldn't have been detrimental. John Joe Kenny isn't good enough to play without someone like Lennon in front of him at this stage in his career so perhaps this means Coleman is very close to a return.

I don't think Lennon gets enough credit. We were sliding into a relegation fight FAST in Martinez's second season and Lennon helped galvanise a recovery. He also went on a bit of a goal rush in the second half of the following season which helped the side to avoid any serious danger when they truly fell off a cliff towards the end of El Fraudo's tenure.

Overall for £4.5m, he's been a positive signing. Best of luck to him.

 

[Groucho]

Leaves with best wishes.

Will get a good reception upon returning, unlike Ross Barkley.

 

[tsubaki]

Best of luck to him
