West Ham’s Lennon Peake



Lennon Peake is also set to sign from West Ham. Will start off in the u21s #CCFC



The problem is Lennon, would if been fit by now, so might 2mths to get fully fit.

I am very excited about Lennon as I believe he is class and if it had not been for his horrific injuries he would be playing Premier League football.

Not seen him play so very hard to get excited about a player who has no track record Overcame massive injury ( we do like a player with an injury record ) We need first 11 players to be brought in at the moment and don’t see him as that

Just what we need in a relegation battle, a 20 year old who’s never played men’s football & has hardly kicked a ball in the last 2 years because of injuries

Andrew, I've followed this signing with huge interest and if Annis says ithis particular signing is finally happening, I would take that as read... :ayatollah:

I've looked at videos of Lennon in action and it is very exciting that he is coming here to become a Bluebird. To make it so much better, we beat a large number of teams to his signing and we were genuinely his preferred option...! :clap:

A little patience may be required by supporters to allow Lennon to get back up to speed but I feel sure we are gaining a player who will enhance the team going forward... :thumbup:

Had you done your research, you might have concluded differently, i.e. we have an exciting prospect coming and one who will make a big difference once we get him up to match fitness

Had you also taken time to find out what the club (Mark Hudson in particular) thought of him during his month's trial, you might again have had a different opinion

But hey, why let such stuff get in the way of criticising the club for bringing in a young talent who had offers from the likes of West Ham United (to stay), Norwich City and other Championship clubs

He chose the Bluebirds and I wish him all the very best of luck :clap: :ayatollah: :bluescarf:

Chris,

Well said.


Lennon had been with our first team etc for nearly 2months and had settled in, but then came the Transfer Embargo..

What position is he? Type of player etc?

Re: Finally ‘ One of the players City are bringing in ‘

Fri Jan 27, 2023 11:51 am

I know little about him in truth , but the fact that he clearly wants to be at Cardiff is a positive thing for sure

Cheers Annis. Sounds good. Love it when players actually want to come here rather than follow the £££ :bluescarf:

Jules,

It was actually head of coaching operations who told Mark Hudson about Lennon :thumbright: :bluebird:

When Lennon was a kid 6yrs old on West Ham's books i use to say to him one day you will come to a bigger club than West Ham, Cardiff City :lol: :thumbright: :bluebird:

Don't think he's going to make a huge difference this season or to be honest injury prone players like vasse ll/ Tomlin are the last thing we need. Starting off in the under 21s is hardly a vote of confidence for this season. No doubt Sven thinks it's an excellent signing injury prone, inexperienced and not currently available for selection!

It's quite simple what we need are players who can play first team football immediately and are fit and experienced.
Don't we ever learn!

I agree we need players who can come straight into the team and hopefully this is being addressed but give the kid a chance. We signed Patterson when injured and he turned out ok.
He clearly wants to be here and chose us over other teams when it probably would have been easier to go elsewhere.
Was thinking maybe he was signed as an u21 player because of embargo? Do squad numbers matter anymore after 1st instalment?
Obviously he will need some time to get up to speed though
Good luck to the lad and welcome :bluebird:

Is he a winger or wide forward ?

We need a winger, someone who is comfortable running with the ball, we have so few. Robinson, Harris and Davies are quick running onto the ball but are not great travelers. Philogene has the ball welded to his feet but there is still little end product, Ojo is the most rounded but he isn't quick enough to do damage and his end product is also missing.

This is good news, I am in the Warnock camp, "i love a winger"

It does seem a strange one as he sounds similar to Tanner. Let’s get behind him and hope he delivers the goods.
