Joe Bennett

[FrankyH]

So I take it the Doctor has overruled RDM ?

We already sold Clark to Newcastle can't help thinking xia saying Bennett should stay after him seeing the other 2 left backs perform

[Steve67]

Bennett is of no use unless we are planning to use him in a swap deal for someone later on. He is absolute epitome of 'surplus to requirements'.  Er, a little like Aly Cissokho.

If xia has over ruled do matteo that's a pretty worrying sign

i just thought exactly the same, personal terms agreed, medical done then the owner overules the manager. this isnt going to end well.

[cdward]

If true, I can't see the player being motivated by a manager who was happy to see him go.
This could end badly

We've finally got our own Freddie Shepherd!

[four fornicholl]

If true, that is the first nail.

Some asked our Tone about it and if there was any friction.

No. I and RDM and others have been working together very well. We communicate well. Don't be fooled by agents&others

[mr underhill]

Quelle surprise! The cracks are appearing.

Is it possible that after watching the two LB's performances in the first two games, RDM just thought Joe had better not go anywhere?

Don't make story with me&RDM. RDM chose the team&board made decisions not giving out for free especially to a rival! No more silly deals !

[four fornicholl]

Does that mean Bobby was overruled then?

[N'ZMAV]

Xia might as well pick the team...

[dave.woodhall]

Amidst the mountains being made out of molehills this is absolutely no different to a board refusing to pay over the odds for a player.
