Burnley vs Newcastle today?

[Goobs]

I got told about Lennon yesterday and was told he wants the same money he was on In Turkey which was €75000 a week so if he’s played today a deal must be close

Had you gone with 7500 you may have been more likely to catch a few.

[warksclaret]

Be surprised if he can increase his wages from the last year he was with us. Him and his agent will know rigid we are on salary caps so I suspect if he was picked that its a done deal

[burnley007]

Lennon was over the hill when we signed him first time around...Three and a Half years ago Mind you ,beggars cant be choosers

It's hard to imagine a less impressive signing. He was dog turd 2 years ago, God knows how awful he must be now.

[Fez]

Lennon played for us today as the trialist

[RVclaret]

Lennon played for us today as the trialist

Did he? Glad you pointed that one out for us.

[Local cricketer]

Think about it, he has no club, he is 34, with what looks like no other Premier League suitors if indeed we are contemplating it. If he signed it would be absolutely nowhere near those figures

From what I’ve heard he’s been offered that money by teams in the Middle East so we must be matching it or he would have flown straight there instead of coming back here and going through the 2 week hotel quarantine that he’s gone through

[ClaretInLeeds]

Not a bad signing if it happens. Knows the club and the team as well as what’s required. Played every game last season in Turkey so should be fitter than last time…..

[RVclaret]

Absolutely horrific signing if it happens and an absolute embarrassment for our recruitment.

Bit of an over exaggeration

[Swizzlestick]

About spot on tbh. Hopefully it was just a favour for fitness etc.

[TheFamilyCat]

Maybe it was exactly what he was listed as - a trialist?

He's available, why not have a look at him to see if he could still do a job?

[PWBFC]

You have to hope Lennon isn't the limit of our ambitions. Nothing against the bloke but I think he was released at the right time and he's now a year older.

[ClaretTony]

So we give Lennon game time rather than Mancini Gomez experience? Bizarre.

It’s the way Dyche does things - did similar with David Jones a couple of years ago.

[ksrclaret]

If we actually resign Lennon we’ve given up even trying to recruit football players to the club. I knew things were bad, but that would signal a white flag.

[warksclaret]

Its the sort of signing you more readily accept at the very end of the window when you know its the last straw.Mixed feelings-if he joins its going to be circa £40k-£50k a week then its a sad reflection of our recruitment if we cannot find a younger right footed pacey footballer with the chance to play most weeks in the PL

[lrac]

This is a joke surly

[Guller Bull]

Nope - I've waited a bit and let it sink in but I'm still not getting that buzz of excitement.

[ClaretAL]

Off topic slightly but looking at the hiliggts the dug outs don't look any different?

[NottsClaret]

Seems very weird you'd give someone half an hour of valuable game time this close to the start of the season unless you're serious about giving them a contract.

I guess we can take it we've sort of given up on recruitment if we do go down this route. Beginning to wonder what's going on now. Exciting times.

[boatshed bill]

Tantamount to useless 2 years ago, but I guess he must have improved since.

[Dark Cloud]

I had no problem with him per se when he was with us, but I had absolutely no problem either when we let him go as he had become a fringe player who seemed well past his best and we needed to move on and up and shop for better. We didn't!! But If indeed he's coming back I'm very disappointed as it looks such a backward step and those rather large wages could be much better spent imo.

[MACCA]

Nope - I've waited a bit and let it sink in but I'm still not getting that buzz of excitement.

Whats not to like, he plays a winger when we only have 2 wingers ( one being Johan glass legs Gudmundsson ) he is only 34, which is a couple of years younger than Ashley Young, cheap, knows the club, whilst he lacks flair, creativity and goals.
If only he could guarantee picking up regular injuries he would be ideal.

I hope we can het this over the line as it seems almost the perfect scenario for all involved.

Not reading anything into Lennon playing today, but if we sign him, I'd like to hope his wages are nowhere near 40-50k a week.

He's the one who's without a club, so he doesn't exactly hold much bargaining power does he.

I suspect he could do a job in the lower leagues, as an experienced head with younger players around him to provide the energy, but in the PL for a team that'll be playing on the back foot most weeks no.

[Guller Bull]

It's a dream signing. Ticks so many boxes that there is now a box shortage.

[Tall Paul]

There's no way we'll be signing Lennon. We don't sign players from abroad, remember.

[boatshed bill]

Somewhere I read that he's looking for about £75,000 pw.

[DCWat]

If there’s any truth in Lennon being resigned, alarm bells are starting to ring.

[Local cricketer]

I can see the unveiling video already. A hero returns

[bfcmatt]

The perfect signing, he needed more first team experiance. Should be straight inro the starting line up.

[ClaretMov]

Bit of an over exaggeration

Exaggeration, more like the total opposite, totally embarrassing for the club he wasn't good enough first time around

[Top Claret]

We are desperately short of numbers to play out wide and Lennon would be a good stocking filler has he knows the club. He has bags of experience and isn't short of pace, just end product

[Granny WeatherWax]

Lennon would be better than no one.

Simple fact is players cost too much and Dyche won’t gamble on unknowns.

[beddie]

Surely we’re not re signing Lennon. No disrespect to the lad but he just has no end product anymore. I’d rather see the wages going towards younger fresh legs.

[SalisburyClaret]

It’s the stuff of nightmares

[Blyclaret]

You couldn't make it up. Lennon wasent up to it 2 years ago
This has Dyche written all over it. No balls to go out and sign a young pacey winger.
We are told there is money available. Imagine spunking £40 grand a week on this has been.

[Fez]

In dyche we trust or..

[ClaretTony]

Surely we’re not re signing Lennon. No disrespect to the lad but he just has no end product anymore. I’d rather see the wages going towards younger fresh legs.

Already been confirmed that he’s training with us to get fit. We went through this scenario with David Jones a couple of years ago when he played in pre season.

It’s how Dyche is with his former players.

[randomclaret2]

David Jones is at Wrexham presently incidentally

[ClaretTony]

Off topic slightly but looking at the hiliggts the dug outs don't look any different?

New seats in them.

[Granny WeatherWax]

It’s well reported we are after 2 wingers. Whether we get them or not is a whole different ball game with how tight funds are and Dyche’s way with transfers.

[boatshed bill]

Already been confirmed that he’s training with us to get fit. We went through this scenario with David Jones a couple of years ago when he played in pre season.

CT, surely the difference is that Jones only trained with us, isn't it?

[ClaretTony]

CT, surely the difference is that Jones only trained with us, isn't it?

No. He played in pre-season games. People were moaning on here about it.

[Granny WeatherWax]

CT, surely the difference is that Jones only trained with us, isn't it?

Shows how far behind we are with where we want to be with regards to the squad.

[boatshed bill]

No. He played in pre-season games. People were moaning on here about it.

OK. I didn't know that, obviously.

[Hedontplayforyou]

Has Dyche confirmed that he’s just training to get fit?

[Granny WeatherWax]

No. He played in pre-season games. People were moaning on here about it.

I remember him playing we played 2 games at the same time. Not sure he played in the penultimate game before the season started.

[ClaretTony]

Has Dyche confirmed that he’s just training to get fit?

Dyche didn’t mention him but local press said he was training for fitness.

[Bordeauxclaret]

Jones played about a month before the season started. Against Accrington.

[ClaretMov]

We are desperately short of numbers to play out wide and Lennon would be a good stocking filler has he knows the club. He has bags of experience and isn't short of pace, just end product

Well if that's all you want but a bloody greyhound on the wing

[ClaretTony]

Hilarious to see how many are getting hung up on Lennon playing half an hour today.
