How much did we get?
The report I read had him going on a free and taking a pay cut. Can't fault his attitude, he just wants to play.

Gabby is much the same.

He didn't bring us much on the way in. We're not losing much on the way out.

Good luck and all the best Joe.

Unfortunately it didn't work out but can only be because the managers didn't think he was good enough. Cant fault his attitude and it's bewildering that "players" like Cissokho somehow managed to get ahead of him in the pecking order. Another one off the payroll at no detriment to the team so can't fault this decision to move him on to be fair.

This is about the only thing I remember about him.

How bizarre. One of the posters/hecklers is Dr Tony.

Being a Twitter luddite, I thought the same but it's just some Villa fan from NYC using his picture as an avatar.

Good. Offers much more to the squad than Cissokho does, IMO.

So we're keeping Joe Bennett, who's not good enough to displace Cissokho. Get fucking rid and spend some money, Xia

Agree, let him go and play elsewhere. We need far better.

The defending would be better than current ........... part of reason Ally is so poor is that nobody backs him up ........... same problem with Hutton who has the support of Bacuna (although did think he played well at weekend)

Cissokho is terrible but at least he's not like putting an 8yr old at fullback who gets brushed aside. To be fair to Bennett he can cross a ball, so can Amavi, neither look like they can defend though, which is the basis of being a leftback unless you are insane going forward and have a strong, hardworker in front of you willing to do the donkey work and keep tracking back.

We don't, the full back situation looks a mess to me.

Hutton, Richards, Bennett, Cissokho, Amavi. Dear me.

If keeping Bennett is the answer, I dread to think what the question is.
