Norwich to come back for Bennett

[Brighton Breezy]

Would be surprised if Benno is here for the Spurs game.

Hopefully Bloom will tell them to do one like before.

Is that a statement of fact or a question?

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Fact.

Not that it means anything but I think most fans were desperate for Bennett to help us up to the Championship and were willing, at the time, for us to let him leave in the close season if that is what he still wanted. Who knows, Bloom may have kept his head straight for the run in by agreeing to this?

If he wants to go and the price is right, we should now let him imo.

I'm hoping he wants to stay though..

 

[Thunder Bolt]

If they do, I can see the club selling him. We didn't stand in Croft's way when he went up a division, and I don't think the club would prevent Bennett from playing in the Premiership. He's done his stint in getting us promoted.

 

[Mendoza]

Seeing him celebrate winning the league over the last couple of weeks, and seeing how he has bonded with the players, it must be a tough decision to leave that team, especially as it pretty much built around him

 

[Brighton Breezy]

He will SIGNIFICANTLY improve his wages.

I would be surprised if Norwich want a player wholly unproven above League One for their first season back in the Premier League.

 

[beorhthelm]

Fact.

fact as in a real fact, or fact as in a rumour like Murray going to Palace?

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

If they come in and offer the right money we cant stand in his way. Real pity though.

 

[Titanic]

He will SIGNIFICANTLY improve his wages.

No shit Sherlock. And I think it is WOULD.

Norwich are going to try and sign him.

Palace ARE looking at Murray. Whether he signs for them or not does not mean they are not trying to get him.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

No shit Sherlock. And I think it is WOULD.

Indeed, would. But significantly by LOADS rather than just a little as in the case of Murray.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

All the interviews with Benno that I've seen in the last few weeks suggest a player who will be in a Brighton shirt next season, because he wants to be and knows he is still learning. Under Gus's tutelage he will blossom into a player who will be a Premiership performer for the bulk of his career, whether with us or another club.

But I'm of the view Tony will tell them where to get off, given that we are not desperate for the money IF they actually do come back for him. Bit too early in his career in my view. I am, of course, biased

You don't say...

 

[Richy_Seagull]

Murray said he was off to Palace when out on Saturday night, no idea if he was joking or not. Shouldn't stand in Bennett's way if Norwich do come back, but would want at least 2 mil.

 

[Thimble Keegan]

This is no real surprise to be honest and although it appears Elliott has put the January episode behind him and seems committed to the club, the pull of the Premier League may prove too much.

I just hope that we make them pay big quids for him. I was slightly annoyed that we nearly lost him for close on £1m as I think he is worth much more to us than that...And then to learn they are reportedly willing to part with around £3m for Craig McKail-Smith makes an even more of a mockery of their valuation of Bennett.

If they were/are happy to chuck £3m Peterborough for CMS then we should expect at least the same. Personally I would stick a price tag on him of the like of McKail-Smith so it creates a win-win situation, we either get to keep him or get a hefty fee. Maybe we could even get an agent to do us a favour for a change and invent some imaginary interest from the likes of Bolton or Stoke to help drive up the fee.

Albion & England forever.

And this.

Personally I reckon Benno will be wearing the stripes again next season at The Amex. Good pre-match interview with him on SCR on Saturday in which he was making all the right noises about looking forward to the first game at The Amex etc...

I really appreciate coming onto this board, so the resident Super Fans can tell us Little Folk what's really going on with the players behind the scenes.

It really is a valuable public service.
