Aaron Lennon

Lots of stories linking him with Stoke today, I still think he's a very useful player to have around but it seems he might be out of favour again.

Lennon is a big part of Spurs for me, part of the early revival of Spurs, part of the best teams of the last 10 years, unplayable on the day, forgettable on others.

I would be sad to see him go, right now, I'd rather have him and Dembele as our bit part/cup players, both have a bit more experience, both probably willing to accept bench time more than say Townsend/Paulinho.

Hoping he's just injured/recovering right now.

Would be a day with a lot of contradictory feelings for me if we do sell him.

In the end Poch has to do what Poch has to do on these issues.

So you're saying that Levy wants him out after realizing how much work it is to organize a testimonial and he's planning to spend our transfer profits on hookers and blow on a yacht in the Caribbean with Lewis instead?

Unless there are more of the pics that caused him to cave in over Dawson's floating around.

I understand, but people like to talk about mercenary players, lack of loyalty, etc. yet same people want to ship out Lennon (who from all reports has clearly stated he wants to fight for his place)

Been with us from 17, part of BMJ's team, I've met him a couple of times .. really would be a sad day for me.

Why I said contradictory. A lot of good memories, seems like a nice guy, been with us for so long.

At the same time I've long felt that there's something wrong with the attitude at our club and I think Poch is on his way towards sorting that out and I want him to sell whoever he wants out.

Not saying Lennon is a cause of that or even a main culprit, but when I see the hunger and desire shown by Kane, Eriksen, Bentaleb and Mason and I think of Lennon he doesn't quite fit in. Despite all the good memories.

If he is happy to stay and fight for his place, and really fight and push himself every little bit to fit in under Poch I would be delighted with him staying.

They are not the same people though.
They people who fawn over Dawson and Lennon don't realise that the only reason they are still here was they weren't good enough to be targeted by richer clubs.

I've no doubt they would have happily followed Carrick, Berbatov, Modric and Bale.
At no pint was their 'loyalty' tested.

I'd be very surprised if we never had an offer for Lennon & Dawson previously, maybe not a big club, big money offer, but there probably were inquiries.

Most players will leave for 2 or 3X salary plus a very good shot at silverware.

My comment is we hardly show loyalty (regardless of scenario/circumstances) yet somehow forget that at first opportunity.

Lennon was a 20 million pound+ player in his prime and would have made a good addition to the squads of Man Utd or Liverpool a few years ago - but there are other aspects to him that would have deterred any bids or received a negative response to any approach made to him. He seems a very private person with a borderline social anxiety issue who would struggle to settle in a new environment, especially one with more of a spotlight on him. He also seems very well settled in London and seems to not want to head back north.

Regarding his current situation, I think Poch rates him but his muscle problems are becoming endemic and he's going to offer diminishing returns so now is probably the best time to move him on.

As I said the people obsessed with loyalty and the people who want long serving players gone are two different groups.
