Aaron’s been great for us, but we’re looking to change things and I think if a good enough offer comes in this summer he’ll move on,” a club source explained. “So far it looks like there’ll be offers from Villa and Swansea.”
Not my words, but those of Sports Football Direct News. Who must be one of the most well connected online outlets. If you click through their site, they appear to have a “club source” for every side in Europe.
This comes in stark contrast to Tim Sherwood’s recent praise:
Until you’re in the job as a manager, you don’t appreciate Aaron Lennon.
What he does out of possession probably makes him the best defensive player we have got on the pitch. He is so diligent. He recognises when to thicken up and when to put pressure on.
Aaron knows full well he wants to have more end product – maybe a different area of the field might benefit him.
But I’m certain that when you need to rely on someone, he’s on your teamsheet. He gives 100 per cent in every game and leaves nothing on the pitch.
He is such a physical specimen. For a small lad, his high-intensity runs, he gets back in, his desire – when you’re asking him to do all that, to then start saying ‘we want 20 goals or 15 assists’, it’s a bit much.
There is a balance, but when you’re looking for reliability he’s on your teamsheet.”
So if Tim is still in charge come the next transfer window, he looks safe. Despite this club source’s threat of a megabid showdown between Swansea City and Aston Villa for his services.
But this raises the question, who would you sell, come the summer?
