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.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.

Joe Bennett Is that the guy who pretty much marked Edwin hazard out the game v chelski cpl seasons ago
Given - Too old now, thanks but on your wayHutton - The moment we started to look better he looked worse - was never really good to begin with - it was really a measure of how shit others wereCissokho - average at everything and seemingly made of glassSenderos - as CissokhoHerd - As both aboveLowton - Not good enough at this level add also Bennett, Luna Cole - why we have wasted any money on him is beyond meNzogbia - 4 years you have had and we still don't know your actual positionSylla - Good enough, Hole, arse, never, as long as, gonna be - arrange this to find all you need to knowGabby - Mr Villa - yeah right - more like so shit no one else ever wanted you - ever - time up charlatanWeinmann - 4 years on and cannot command a regular place or even appearance as a playing sub - gone backwards from initial promiseThat's nearly a full team but a team that has had its chances and simply not taken themTime for change
Quote from: SoccerHQ on June 01, 2015, 10:28:19 PMI 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 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,

You have to wonder about Gil as well, as he seems to be out of favour with the manager, yet looks to have more ability than the majority of the squad.
Interesting times ahead with possibly new owners, (although who'd want to buy us after Saturday)?

It suggests to me it could be the O'Neill style 'all about PL or English football experience - we don't want any Johnny foreigners coming in who are too lightweight and don't know the league' mentality, just on the cheap this time. Just speculation at this point, admittedly.
I have it on pretty good authority that Gil has been told to find another club.
