Yeah, Lennon was just us stealing a youth prospect cheap due to Leeds having "done a Leeds", he wasn't bought for the first team but due to Routledge's misfortune he got a chance and grabbed it with both hands.I think people forget with Lennon that he wasn’t bought to start straight away. But thanks to a pre-season injury to Routledge he got more game time than expected quicker than expected.
I remember my Leeds mate, the one who basically told me we got Clarke too early, being well pissed off at us nicking Lennon because he was their top prospect and they were all excited to see him develop at Leeds.
