My memories of Bennett aren't particularly positive but fuck me, he can surely not be worse than Cissokho?

This.  If Cissokho is the answer then I am a little mystified.  Amavi will hopefully correct this problem position in due course though.  Hopefully!!

Bennet is one of those nothing players so emblematic of our decline. Bennett, Lowton, Westwood, Bowery. Characterless dross. A whole lot of nothing.

In the case of Lowton, at least we'll always have this

Absolutely spot on. It was soul destroying watching the club continually signing crap like that under the "young and hungry" tag line. Hopefully this is the start of our rebirth under Xia.

If Bennett is emblematic of our decline then what is Cissokho ?

He's completely useless. Amavi needs to get fit and quick.

Lowton was a good reader of the game and could cross, just had no pace.

Did well enough for Burnley at this level last season, Bennett can't even get in championship teams now so there is a difference.

Certainly if we're expecting to attack from left back, Cissoko is about as much use as a cock flavoured lollipop. Amavi hopefully will solve this problem though, but with his potentially slow recovery from injury I think we might need a new left back in. I might even consider a seasons loan for someone a good idea in this situation.

If we get a fee then even better, but quite happy to see another non contributor removed from the squad to free up a place for a new recruit. We seem to operating on a 3 shit players out, 2 better ones in basis.

Our full back situation is quite piss poor really.  There's Hutton, wholehearted though he is, full of quality he isn't.  Then there's Cissokho whose attempts to control a ball would make me laugh if he played for another team.  Our hopes are pinned on Amavi, a kid who looks to be the real deal but who is coming back from a shocker of an injury.

I didn't think Weds full backs were any better, I've never really liked Cissokho but he'll be out soon and Hutton will be fine, especially when we get a player in the team who can cross the ball.

Wish the boy well, I had more time for him than a lot of our current squad.

That looks to me like one of the few challenges Joe is up to meeting.

I said on Sunday, if we still had Lowton we'd probably get a lot more out of Gestede.

Or if we still had Albrighton or Whittingham (Peter, not Guy) even.
