It’s reported today that three clubs Liverpool, Newcastle United and Manchester City will all be in the battle to sign 21 year-old impressive winger Aaron Lennon from Spurs.
Aaron Lennon – Spurs winger available
The Manchester Evening news are reporting that Lennon will be allowed to leave White Hart Lane this summer, as new Spanish boss Juande Ramos will bring in some other player for the right side of midfield.
The reports say that Aaron will favor a move to Liverpool (surprise, surprise) and will certainly not consider any move to Eastlands, until a new manager is appointed to replace Sven Eriksson.
Jermaine Penannt – good buy for Newcastle?
But Newcastle could do a lot worse than taking Jermaine Pennant from Liverpool, since his chances of first team football will be further reduced should Lennon join the Reds.
We feel Pennant could do well in a Kevin Keegan attacking side, and that Kevin could bring the best out in the player, who certainly has considerable skills.
We really don’t see too much difference in the skills between the two players.
What do you think?
Comments welcome.

Comment #45Pennant is the best crosser in the premier league! However he does lack pace and rarely beats a player. Ability wise, he is miles ahead of Milner, however Milner has the perfect attitude while Jermaine is the complete opposite. Having said that, he has calmed down a lot.
Lennon is one of the best in the league, at dribbling at very fast speeds. However he has no end product. I would again say he is an upgrade on Milner.
Whatever the case, we do require more competion on the right hand side.

Comment #47Got rid of Bellamy, Dyer and Bowyer….. why on earth would we now want Pennant????
And Oga, if you want a good crosser of the ball, then we should go for Bentley – NOT Pennant.

Comment #49christopherbunton…….Lennon has a great footballing brain anyone who doesn’t rate him doesn’t know football. I’m sorry but if you rate him highly it’s you who doesn’t know football. He’d be my definition of a brainless footballer.
He’s like a headless chicken…..absolutely NO final product. I think Ramos knows football and he obviously doesn’t rate him.
