Bomb Squad II

[Risso]

The one player I would keep out of all them, above.

Joe Bennett, cuz he will come good imo.

Ducks behind trench.

He's the worst left back we have, and given the competition, that's quite some claim to fame.

Have we still got Tonev?

[silhillvilla]

Have we still got Tonev?

Yes, he's probably entrenched in All Bar One Glasgow as we speak.

Joe Bennett
Is that the guy who pretty much marked Edwin hazard out the game v chelski cpl seasons ago

[supertom]

Have we still got Tonev?

Surely we'd have grounds to cancel his contract. Not least because he lied to us in claiming to be a footballer.

The Seagull fans thought he'd done a decent job according to the comments here....http://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/12980797.display/

The problem is we need to rebuild the entire defence.  Bennett could be a Premiership defender, if he had players of high quality around him.  With the exception of Clark, what defence do we have?  We leak goals like a burst water main.

Keep Delph, Grealish, Benteke and Clark. Fuck the rest off.

Baker ? Gardner ?

[N'ZMAV]

Baker is too injury prone and Gardner, well who knows? another who hasn't kicked on for one reason or another. Maybe one to keep.

[Concrete John]

The rebuilding job will take longer than 1 transfer window, so we may have to be patient and live with some of the ones we want shot of being in the squad for a while yet.

[silhillvilla]

We will need one of those new Airbus double decker jobbies to airfreight all of our deadwood out of BHX . Let's hope the weight doesn't hamper take off

Decent job at the lower end of the Championship is hardly a ringing endorsement is it?  Pretty much every time he played for us, the opposition targeted him and hot some joy, even Bradford.  Giving the likes of Bennett, Baker and Lowton a chance is exactly why we are where we have been for the last four years.  I remember similar comments about the likes of Bannan and Lichaj, and look where they are now - can hardly get a regular game in the Championship.  We need better.

I really don't think Joe Bennett is a good enough one v one defender at this level, he was a player just given a chance far too early at premier league level, he'd have been better playing another 100 games for Boro at that level as his first season he just looked so short of basic defensive understanding it was laughable.

Who knows what will happen at the left back coconut shy this summer. I'd keep Cissokho and ditch Richardson but Sherwood will do the opposite I'd imagine.

I seem to remember people saying something similar about Delph. I'm not saying Bennett will turn into an international but I think there is something there to work with.

I think Richardson will stay as he can cover a couple of positions.  I'm sure he will have a look at Kinsella in pre season, but we still need a starting left back,
