Anyone know anything about him? Full back apparently so looks like Hutton's place.

[Risso]

But, but, he's not French!

Non, merci.

Covers all defensive positions

Hutton
Bacuna
Amavi
Richards
Crespo

That's enough full backs, so hopefully Bennett will be sold now.

Ugh and Cissokho, forgot we had him, crap too. If we could get Bennett, Cissokho and Nzogbia off the books this summer it would be great.

Party like its 2007

Didn't we give Hutton a new long term contract in the middle of last season?

Can he take penalties???

When I saw the name I thought "bloody hell, he's getting on a bit"

I think Richards is going to be CB and I don't like Bacuna full back, prefer him midfield. If this guy is RB I would have him and Hutton competing there and Amavi and Cissokho competing left back. I would give Cissokho another season, especially if he's only cover. I'd sell Bennett.

Joe Bennett is taking a lot of stick on here, I still think, theres a very good player there, he was a young player coming into a poor team.

[Clark W Griswold]

I do remember this guy vaguely from his Sevilla days, I seem to recall him being decent although I think the whole team were pretty good at the time.

[garyshawsknee]

Reading on twitter, it seems like he'll be a squad player and  can cover most positions in the back 4.

Has Bennett played in any of the pre-season games ?

[Ron Manager]

He is 6ft apparently.Squad player cheap and cheerful. Much rather hear we have an interest in Cambiasso.
