If Benno stays, I repeat, I will dance around my street, and be a happy bunny! I did wonder if he would entertain bbeing on the bench every week, apart from earning some more money, he would gain little; maybe some carling cup games or some fleeting substitute appearances. If he rejects Norwich and stays he will be even more of a legend.

Someone thought it'd be funny and went on the Watford forum as 'GavBHA' and was winding them up about Buckley, out of all the usernames
Sorry to break this to you but you're not the only GAVIN to support the Albion I'm afraid

Splashing millions on League one players, yeah that'll keep you up won't it.

thanks for replying [MENTION=16234]Jimbo.GRFC[/MENTION] . I think timing wise, (now his potential transfer is out in the open) may have given us the best, possibly only hope of him staying.
Reason being is he is on holiday abroad, If he were in England, it would be a whirlwind over a few days (like Morrison) and before he had time to think he'd be a Norwich player.
Now its out in the open, and he is likely seeing player after player signing for Norwich (mainly all attackers), he must surely at least be reflecting and assessing his week in week out playing opportunities.
If I were Gus and TB I would be in his ear every day, saying how valued he is and he is first name on team sheet etc etc.
The time gap from story break to meeting NCFC and that bot of time to think it through, just may well work in our favour.
But whilst I am expecting the lure will be to big, I will dance in my pants in the street if he stays.

Repeat after me. Bennett is a norwich player. Bennett is a norwich player. Bennett is a norwich player. Bennett is a norwich player. Bennett is a norwich player. Bennett is a norwich player. Bennett is a norwich player. Bennett is a norwich player. Bennett is a norwich player.
Now breath. It will make you feel a lot better when you see Bennett in a yellow and green shirt with a huge smile on his face next week.

ok we've signed 2 attackers because we're so light on that front, but i'm not sure how that effects bennett
we don't really have any attacking midfielders who can play down the wings
so i hear some people say we're preparing for relegation because we're not signing anyone decent, and others saying bennett won't get in the team cos of all the players we're signing

This is the same Bennett who handed in a transfer request last Jan....I love the bloke and wish him all the best, but all this talk about him staying is just ridiculous.

2 players, neither of which are wingers.

a) You are preparing for relegation because none of your players are really Prem standard
b) Benno will be on the bench because no-one knows how he would have fared in the Championship, let alone the Premiership, whereas the players you're signing have done well in the Champ
I think that is what people are getting at

Find it pretty difficult to believe that he'd stay after Gus said he is leaving. Benno out, KLL in next week I would guess.

yeah but he'll be pretty much the only option we have down the wings
how he does in pre season and training will have a bearing but maybe we'll stick to our current system and use him as a sub in order to change the game
how defensive is he?
not really sure of his preferred position either
Sam Ovett
The New Manager Bus
I'm not saying that he will sit on the bench all the time, maybe at the start of the season. Very good defensively as well
Very good defensively, even played right back a couple of times last season when we needed cover in the last 10 minutes. His position changed to a more central role last season as Gus wanted him to have more shots, so he alters between just behind the strikers and on the wing really.
