THREE Reasons Why Manchester United Should Forget About Signing Tottenham Dud

As if life for Manchester United fans couldn't get any worse. Liverpool are top of the Premier League, United are struggling for a place in Europe and now they are being linked with Tottenham wide man Aaron Lennon. No, really. The Express say that David Moyes is ready to move for the winger, and could even offer Javier Hernandez as a bargaining chip. Here are three reasons why United should forget about the little midfielder.

1) no end product

The Spurs winger is a player who fails to inspire. His speed counts for nothing because he has no strength, his jumping is poor and his final ball is nothing short of awful. His goal tally has never exceeded five in a single season and rarely gets above three.

In his 26 games this season - in the Premier League and in Europe - he has just one assist.

2) current crop of deadwood

Lennon, for me, would join a long list of deadwood at the club. The Spurs winger would make next to no impact, so I don't see why he would be a target, especially with the wingers already at the club.

United have Nani, who has hardly featured this season, Ashley Young, Shinji Kagawa and Antonio Valencia, who I think will all be gone in the summer.

3) priorities

United need a central midfielder, not a winger. There is a lack of balance in the current side - there are too many attacking players and not enough who can link the midriff to the forwards. I think they should concentrate on that instead.

Optajoe posted an article last year about the 20 most creative premier league players since they started collected stats.
This means chances created - not assits.

Lennon was the top english player and the only english player in the top ten. I think he was 7th.
The other english players in the top 20, were lampard, rooney and gerrard.
Unfortunately I can't find the article to link you to it. I'm sure someone can dig it up though.

So stats would prove you wrong about his lack of end product, its the strikers spurs have had on the end of the chances that have no end product. This season he has been below par, but he's been out injured for a lot of it and I don't think there's many spurs players who can claim they've had a good season.

I agree with ben. spurs would be silly to sell him, he's the only player that can get in behind a defence that they've got
