I belive that if Bennett really wanted to go, then he would have gone. I dont think Gus or Tony would stand in the way of a player who wanted to leave. I mean what would be the point, it may cause unrest in the camp and the player himself may end up sulking and loseing form. Now Bennett has always come across as a nice level headed lad, there is no billy big potatoes about him. He seemed happy enough on Saturday, running down the line and at the end of the match. Maybe Gus/Tony told him to hand a request in, so they could turn down all offers. Sending a message out, not only to other clubs looking to poach our players. But also some fellow squad members, who may think that they hold the upper hand. This whole episode and the events of the last week or so, has only showed us one thing. Brighton and Hove Albion are no longer a club to be messed with and Tony Bloom and Gus are fully in charge here. Not any individual players. Would not be surprised to see Bennett now take back his request, score tonight, kiss the badge and be here for the next four years, at least!!!!!....Just a thought.
