Bennett is a very, very good footballer. What he is not is  good defender. I would hope anyone coming in would be a more solid defender.
I think it is premature to write off a 22 (or 23?) year old as not being a good defender. He was generally quite solid during the run-in.

I have in no way written him off!! Indeed he is one of my bigger hopes for the future, but he does have to stay switched on for a whole game, and learn to leave people alone when they get tight on him. Molesting them will only end in tears!

Lambert: hey Alan (think bubble- you useless thick fucker) - it's Paul. Hope you're having a fantastic time in Spain. What's that young full back Luna like?

Hutton - hey Paul (think bubble - what the fuck do you want?) - doing well mate. Love it out here. Hoping I can stay. Luna is a cracking young player. He'll do well in the PL.

Lambert : thanks Alan - (think bubble - you have no idea how much I want you to stay out there, or go anywhere else for that matter). Cheers mate good to know thanks. we might sign him. And believe me, we are doing literally everything we can to get you to stay there.

Bennett will prove to be great. Richard Sneekes the ex-pro rates him very highly. I think Sneekes is better placed than any of us on here. I'd trust his and PL's judgement on the player. Patience needed...

Song sorted  :)



If he doesn't sign, I'm sure that the same track will work for Bacuna as well

Will holding the ball in the corner on the left to run the clock down for a one goal win become known as a Luna Tick?

Dare we hope for any more coming in? Or will Luna be the last one?

It was always extremely apparent to me that Milner wouldn't succeed at City (though it depends on your definition of success) He was as much suited to us - probably more than any other player over these last several years - as he wasn't to Man City

City fans have high regard for him - they appreciate his workrate in a team where some strut about , I think he's played a decent amount of games at city and won trophies , his England career hasn't progressed so well as if he had stayed at villa where he looked superb in centre midfield.

Bang on, nut as my Man City fan said who would he replace in the middle? Toure? He's won a title playing in the Champions League, plays a lot for them, why would he move to us unless we were seriously challenging for anything?

Sorry whilst Milner was a very good player for us, they absolutely no indication he is leaving Manchester City

Even if he was why would he come back to us at moment?

I think Luna will fit nicely into the module  lambert is building.

If he does well for us I may start a society in his honour.
Like it but think your wit just flew over many people's heads.

I nodded in respectful appreciation, but not sure what the correct smiley for nodding is.

I also nodded appreciatively.

Fair enough. Your original statement came across as quite conclusive.
