And our dip in form usually coincides with when he's out.We cant keep buying players without trimming the squad and recouping some money.
It's not always about who we want to sell as much as who we get offers for.
eg. we wanted rid of Bentley for 2 years, but no one wanted to buy him so he ended up being released.
Had Townsend not shown he can ct it, then I dont think we would be listening to offers, but Townsend is younger on a cheaper contract, and I cannot remember when Lennon last got though a full season without being out for a month.
Agree with this but does lennon fit in with avb structure i.e. is he adaptable enough and does he do enough as a wing forwardI have to say I think this preference of Townsend over Lennon after one game is frankly ludicrous. I think Townsend has potential but Lennon has been one of Tottenham's most attacking players against top full backs for years and years.

I am not so sure.
If he gets 10+ assists then I don't really care if he only scores 3-4 goals. Finally we have a fox in the box type striker who will benefit Lennon better than say Ade, who was often everywhere else but in the box last season.
My only concern is Lennon's ability to find his man at the right time. At the top level you will only get a few opportunities and you need to make them count. Unfortunately this is his weakness. Also if we lost Lennon don't we fall foul of the requirement for 8 players being over 21 and in an English youth system for 6 years?
If its been answered before I is sox but I have been on hols with no wifi. From my reckoning Chelscum have an even harder problem as I can only account for 4/5 players if they get Willian?

Mate, it's been answered over & over again. You DON'T have to have 8 home grown players, just a maximum of 17 none home grown.

Coops you are a top man.
Coops, you are too patient. I am getting sick of people asking this same question and I am a newbie.Opinions very much vary, but I'll say Thank You anyway

Lennon had multiple oppurtunities to find the predatory soldado vs palace but dawdled that split second too long and the chance fizzled out. Yes he won the penalty but through luck rather than being too good for his full back. Lenny is a legend but I don't think he has that ruthlessness or the impulsiveness to be a top end performer in Avb's preferred system. If we can get 12m say, that would be good business imo
Townsend's had a couple of good games for us - imho it's too early to talk about getting rid of Lennon on the back of this. Townsend can just as easily carry the ball too far and lose it as we saw in pre-season.
Is Lennon injured? He has not been on the bench.
