Four points lost late on.

Come on Norpig, you can't suggest that any of those have had as big an impact as Juke or Dawson did.

I'd even add Hutton to that, thought he was excellent last year.

ok fair enough they were two of his good ones

Lennon has brought in Amos, Le Fondre and Janko who have looked decent players but again its just my humble opinion.

Garvan?

Loanees aren't the measure of a manager though seeing as Coyle borrowed the likes of Sturridge and Wilshere who haven't done too badly for themselves. I am wondering if the current loanees were borrowed with a view to signing.

If Lennon can permanently sign the good 'uns and continue to clear out the dross I'll be impressed but if any of them are the current loanees they'll have to improve considerably. Plus he needs a proper solution to the striker situation with Eidur and Heskey looking past it and ALF not quite able to reproduce his best goalscoring form. The only permanent signing he's made has been Twardzik who looks OK but not premiership quality.


Maybe he has a completely different set of targets?

Unfair to judge Twarszik off what we've seen so far, considering he barely got a look in at Celtic I don't think anybody can fairly judge his talent apart from coaches he's worked with.

The Rochinha and Slavchaev (sic) signings have looked odd though, especially as Coke has just come in he clearly doesn't like what he's seen which begs the question why bother spending the money on them?

What I find odd is that Rochinha hasn't been playing for the U21's. He hasn't been playing competitive football at all since his arrival. Not even a bench.

Lennon tried to sign Rochinha after a Next-Gen tournament a couple of years ago, but couldn't convince him to leave Portugal. After a good start with us Lennon assumed he'd be moving on to a Premier League job so signed him on loan to hide him from other clubs and build a rapport ahead of a big 
move for both next season.

All gone tits up though.

Yes it's a bit of a queer how do you do with Rochinha & Slav.  You would think with the state of affairs at the moment that they would get 15 minutes game time somewhere.  Twarszik didn't look too bad at first glance. I don't know what they must think when other loanees come right into the side. Can't imagine it's good for their confidence.
