Harry Lennon - retiring due to injury (p4)

I didn't think he was a bad third tier player at all, he'll do well at Southend if he can get a run on the side.3

Maybe a joke but accurategolfaddick said:any idea of the fee involved ?? .obviously it will be undisclosed (to CAFC fans at least) but I thought I saw a figure of £50k somewhere but I'm assuming thats a joke.

Plus a 20% sell-on clause, £500,000 if he plays in the Prem League and a further £250, 000 for his first England cap.golfaddick said:any idea of the fee involved ?? .obviously it will be undisclosed (to CAFC fans at least) but I thought I saw a figure of £50k somewhere but I'm assuming thats a joke.
You probably think I made that bit up.

Agree with everything you say.Nug said:Good move for Lennon, getting away from the shambles of CAFC and joining a club which no doubt under CP is as professional as they come. Aren't Southend investing in a new stadium too. Sounds like an ambitious place to be, complete opposite to us.

I think Lennon is going to do really well at Southend. Some good experienced defenders at that club and a great manager who knows a thing or two about defending himself.
A club where expectations aren’t too high so the fans can let Lennon get on and play without getting on his back.
He is young enough to iron out any flaws he has and the fact he is half decent in the air and is rapid are great starting traits to have to be developed.7 - Sponsored links:

Lennon is a much better player than Naby Sarr and was presumably on about a third of the wages. However, with no prospect of shifting the latter, Harry was moved on for a relative pittance - the figure reported was £50,000, discounted from £80,000 by Duchatelet for cash. It was suggested in the press that we turned down £150,000 for the player last summer from two clubs, believed to be Gillingham and Northampton.
No doubt we are, or will be, scrabbling around in the bargain basement for some short term solution in central defence as soon as we get an injury or two and/or if Roland receives a cash offer for Bauer that he is unable to refuse.
I think this is one deal that will come back to bite us.3 -
He's the nephew if John and cousin to Sean.prnapper said:Southend fan in peace - what's Harry Lennon like? Did Chris Powell work with him before?

Yeah I would have taken the money last season. Putting the knock down cash up front thing aside, I don't know what the payments would have been like for that reported 150k. Given he was still injured until like October or November, I suspect it would have been a lot of back loades/performance based clauses. As I said I would still have taken the money, though we would have been down to one center back for a crucial part of the season, but as far as Roland's bad deals go, this one feels a lot more like the normal ebb and flow of a footballer's value than most of our other ridiculous transfer dealings this summer.Blucher said:Lennon is a much better player than Naby Sarr and was presumably on about a third of the wages.

To say Lennon is a better player than Sarr is at best an opinion outdated by about three years, and at worst laughable.1 -
Not the biggest fan of either of them but Lennon away at Wigan last season was superb.SDAddick said:

He was. But there was a very specific reason for that, all he had to do was defend inside his own box. It's when he has to play a high line, challenge forwards physically and in the air, get on the ball, and read the game that he gets himself into trouble. I think that those things will improve if he can stay fit and get a run in the side, but we already have two left footed center backs and we just couldn't offer that to him.The Red Robin said:

My outstanding memory of his last season was him just going for a wander in the last minute against Doncaster. He cost us two points that day.2 -
Not laughable at all. Would have Lennon over Sarr any day and not just because Sarr is so grossly overpaid for a liability of a defender who can't even get a regular place in league 1.SDAddick said:
