I hate to rain on your parade but I'm one of the few who do not like Lennon very much. He's way too one dimensional for me. Doesn't score many goals, not a great crosser, not the greatest passer. Sure he's pretty good at taking on a full back, but a lot of the time he wastes a chance to create something great with his poor final ball. He should be a lot better than he is at this point.

Not sure about one of the top scorers but he could definitely be up there. When he gets a chance on goal (that isn't too far out...) he actually has a fairly decent finish on him.
Spurs are much better with him than without him, and that's good enough for me. Sure, I wish we had an Aaron Lennon alternative that scores more goals, crosses better, passes better and does more with his final ball more of the time, but come on people, a bit of reality please :lennon:
As one dimensional he may be, I have always maintained that Bale benefits from having Lennon in the side as he offers genuine width and therefore the defense is more stretched.
When we had VDV and played him out on the wing instead of Lennon he always looked to cut in and then the defense was able to be a lot more compact and thereby double up on Bale and VDV.
While he's not a world beater, I think he is one of the most underrated players in the Premier League. He shows up for Tottenham week after week and does his job. You need players like that, who you can rely on.

i like the mentality he shows on the pitch , very rarely gets in trouble due to immaturity, tracks back like the best and when he is on par he is sharp as a razor
the man is 100 % commitment

Are you saying that you disagree with the words you have written?
He scares the fuck out of full backs which in turn leaves bale to scare everyone else. (hopefully Soldado will be pretty scary)
I met him once and he spoke to me and shook my hand
He doesn't get nearly enough chances with England. They played James Milner ahead of him against Brazil ffs.
Sounds silly for an attacking winger but his ability to track back and nullify counter attacks with his pace and ability to nick a ball is vital yet hugely overlooked by some fans.
