Neil Lennon

Of the names you mentioned, yeah they are still here but none of them should be starters for us if everyone is fit.

Forrest was * during Lennon's time in charge as well. The last couple of seasons under Lenny he did * all. Deila actually did a better job at resting Forrest and allowing him to get fully fit than Lennon did, he always rushed him back and that's why Forrest couldn't string 3 games together.

Careful there are many here who might try to take you up on that.

 

Lustig and Mulgrew are first team starters though. In Mulgrew's case, deservedly so. Commons has been wasted, criminally under Ronny. Didn't know how to manage him, but it doesn't make him a bad player. Maybe if he did play him, things could have turned out different. Who knows.

Point I'm making anyway is, Lenny's transfers, as a whole were fantastic. Ronny's were utter *.

Ronny might have rested Forrest better, probably rested him too much, like commons. But I said Lenny had Forrest playing his best stuff, which is just a fact. Not remember Tottenham weighing up the 9 million bid for him ? :smiley-laughing002:
He was also on some FIFA shortlist of young players to look out for.

 

Now Ronnie is going all is rosy in the garden again. We are all singing from the same hymn sheet

 

Every club in the world makes bad signings, regardless of their budget.

 

Wow.

You really don't see the difference in Lennon's good signings and everyone elses?

Sure Lennon signed numpties, who doesn't?

The thing that sets him apart is the likes of Forster, Wanyama, Hooper, Van Dijk, Matthews. Even Ledley to an extent would have went for multi millions had we not let his contract run down.

Deila and even Strachan can't make a claim like that.

 

Interesting that you took that as the example of Lenny's signings. I'd be more inclined to put it Van Dijk, Forster, Wanyama, Hooper, Griffiths, Ledley and co.

I think at the end up, being that he brought in a lot more cash in player sales than he spent overall, I think that points towards it being good.

Regardless of any spin folk want to put on it, the reality is Lennon's transfer record here was exemplary. Of course he made bad signings, every manager does. It doesn't change the fact that over the course of 4 years, he was fantastic in the transfer market.

 

I actually find it incredible how much stick Hammer gives Lenny considering how long he backed Ronny. Right to the * death he clung on for dear life to the back of the Deila Bus. Yet when it comes to Lenny he hardly has a good word for the man.

Strange.

 

It's actually mental to question how well he did in the transfer market :smiley-laughing002:

It was probably our strongest feature while he was here. Our ability to find hidden gems and turn them into CL calibre players (and sell them on for good money) was as good as it's ever been.

 

In the last couple of days you have called him embarrassing and trying to come back with his tail between his legs. That's just the posts I've seen.

I find that highly disrespectful to a man who literally put his life on the line to play for and manage this football club.

 

Yep.

My opinion is that you are full of *.

Edit.

Regarding Lenny that is, I think you are brand new apart from this.

*hugs*

 

Don't. Apparently you're a hun if you say that.
