spot on, mr tyers .. he is over-rated on a huge scale ...

I decided this after watching him play during the run up of england matches towards the last world cup ... I thought he was too one-dimensional and easy to source out by defenders ...

He has pace and sometimes gets in a good cross, his superb 2006 world cup was due to him being a sub against tired legs, not due to his leetness that would help Spurs get ahead of Arsenal :lol:

was arguing the point with a mate last night..
My case was:

No left foot
Cant cross a ball
Low goal tally's
No tricks

for a winger I see not a lot more than electric pace..
Maybe I'm being a bit harsh and he will improve with age but I really dont buy into this hype about the boy as if he's the next Ryan Giggs..

DISAGREE WITH YOU LOT ON THIS ONE. :shock: I KNOW AS FANS IT'S IN-BUILT TO HATE OUR RIVAL'S PLAYERS BUT THAT SHOULDN'T BLIND US TO THEIR TRUE ABILITIES. :roll:

I THINK LENNON, ALTHOUGH FAR FROM THE FINISHED PRODUCT, HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME WORLD-CLASS. REMEMBER THAT HE IS STILL VERY YOUNG AND, LIKE THEO, SHOULD GET BETTER OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS.

HE HAS ABSOLUTELY TREMEDOUS PACE, WHICH IS A GROWING NECESSITY IN THE MODERN GAME, AND JUST NEEDS TO IMPROVE HIS FINAL PASS TO END UP BEING AS EFFECTIVE AS A ROBBEN OR GIGGS.

I KNOW THIS OPINION WON'T MAKE ME ANY MORE POPULAR (COULD I BE? :lol: ) BUT IT'S HOW I SEE IT - THEREFORE IT MUST BE THE TRUTH!! 8) :lol: :wink:

I think Lennon has potensial, but he is in the wrong club. It is hard to be good when you learn from guys who can`t play football. Give Wenger a month with him, and he is twice as good as he is today. He went to the wrong club, and pays now the consequences.

He is a 20 minute player, nothing else.
