Elliot Bennet hands in transfer request (with source)

[Tricky Dicky]

In argus

What, the date ? (unlikely, for the argus), the weather ?

* If it's Bennett, then I never really doubted it.

 

[Dirty Dave]

what's true?

Bennett hands in transfer request From The Argus)

 

[algie]

Bennett has handed in transfer

 

[strings]

I'm still not too worried. I'm sure the management won't let him go unless we have a capable replacement. We'll see, nevertheless this squad is much better than one single player.

 

[Iamapen15]

Horseshit with a capital 'H'

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Well - his head has gone.

Shame. Gus will sort it all out.

 

[Dirty Dave]

would just confirm that contracts mean NOTHING these days

Can you add some more to the thread title please so we don't get loads of threads on it.

 

[Cullip4]

has nobody told him that all transfer requests must be handed to Charlie Oatway? that should make sure he fails any medical

 

[tube train]

shame he wants to go, but for me i would rather tie down murray and sell bennett out of the 2.

Very disappointing from Bennett.

The player is worth more than the money offered, which will be about £1M, to the club. I hope the management turn the transfer request down flat, the 'not wanting to stand in the players way' argument doesn't wash now with the direction the club is heading. Stand firm TB and Gus, he's a contracted Brighton player.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Some team has still got to offer the right amount of money for him, we DON'T have to let him go cheap

 

[Icy Gull]

Nice timing Elliott but absolutely no suprise to me, his silence during all this has been deafening.

 

[Common as Mook]

The club hasnt accepted the request yet. If he is forced to stay he might realise the need to pull his finger out and perform if he wants a move in the summer.

Absolutely. One transfer request does NOT mean we have to accept a substandard bid.

That last bit sums things up nicely. No one man can be greater than the club, and if he is...get rid of him.

Contracts?!!? Loyalty!?!?!?! Go on Dirty Dave, your talking crazy!

 

[Napper]

Cheers Elliot. Decent of you !!

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

I might be missing something here, but what's changed since TB and Gus said we dont have to sell anyone and want to keep our best players?

He is absolutely vital in our push for promotion so why the hell would they let him go even if he has handed in a transfer request? How badly do we need that million quid?

Make him stay, he's got a good attitude plus I'm sure he'll get over it when we get promoted.

Doesn't mean he's going to be sold though does it *crossingeverything*
