Aaron Lennon is set to become Liverpool’s number one transfer target this summer, and I can’t help but think that this move is going to end up being remarkably similar to Liverpool’s last Tottenham signing failure, with Robbie Keane.  Aaron Lennon is having a fantastic season, he’s been a revelation through pace and his ability to take on defenders on the right or left flanks, but I still don’t think Lennon is ready for a club like Liverpool because of his inconsistencies.

Aaron Lennon can’t deliver a decent cross to save his life some matches, and that will make Lennon practically useless for Liverpool.  Lennon needs a little bit more seasoning, and Tottenham aren’t going to let a player with that much potential go cheaply, which means that ultimately right now, he just isn’t worth the money.  Aaron Lennon has the skill to be a great, but has yet to show himself completely able to deliver the way a great player should.

Dave Kitson has found himself back at Reading after his time at Stoke found the striker playing less than convincingly.  Although it’s fair to say Kitson clearly gave his all in every one of his 18 appearances in a Stoke shirt, but failing to score when you’re expected to play as a dedicated striker is pretty much unforgivable.

But good news for Reading, as they’ll get the man that helped them so much with their run in the Premiership, not to mention the way Kitson has always helped Doyle to play up to his full potential.  And considering Reading’s place in the table now, and the reacquisition of one of their finest stars, Reading have to be almost assured promotion come the end of the season.

And finally, Jose Mourinho is now vehemently denying reports that claimed the Portuguese manager had voiced his interest in managing Manchester United.  Which is probably best for all parties involved, considering Jose Mourinho isn’t the right fit for United, and the move would probably turn out to be almost as unsuccessful as his time at Inter Milan is becoming.  If Mourinho really want’s another Premiership job, he should try and rebuild the burned bridges at Chelsea, as they’re bound to need a permanent manager after this year, no matter how Guus Hiddink functions.  The way I see it, may as well be Jose Mourinho, the man who made them the club they are today.
