you're just quoting stats, and those stats really aren't that great either. if you wanna play that game, I see people here comparing him to Walcott (who I don't rate that much) who had 38 combined goals and assists in 43 games this season, 24 in 46 the season before, and 19 in 38 the season before that. THAT'S a guy whose pace frightens defenders and who actually does hurt defenders more often. more importantly, his totals improve each season, Lennon's don't.
that's just using your stats argument.
Theo Walcott is a forward, Lennon is a winger, they play in different systems and have different jobs on the pitch. Had Walcott played most of his career on the right in a 4-4-2 then he'd probably have similar stats to Lennon.
I'm not sure what you mean by a stats argument, it is a fact that Lennon provideds a goal or assist at a rate of about one in every three games. That's not that bad, we can improve there but why would we sell him as some are suggesting?
