Eliott Bennett - Returns for a Month

[OvingdeanSeagull]

FFS.

Please no Zamora, Bennett, Lopez, Buckley blah blah....

CAN'T WE PLEASE MOVE FORWARD AS A CLUB AND STOP THIS RIDICULOUS (AND POTENTIALLY EXPENSIVE) FANTASY TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE.

Agreed, our fans obsession with signing our former players is bizarre. Move on ffs.

Last player we had who could actually cross the ball from wide areas would be a good addition

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

I would love Benno back, anyone at Fulham away would have seen he still has a lot to offer, just needed to regain fitness.

 

[Sheebo]

Does my head in people grouping Benno in with the other former player threads that have appeared on here. Big difference - he was on loan with us last season! So it's perfectly plausible we will go in for him. Obviously, if we get the old Benno back and fit it would be signing of our Summer. Was unstoppable in league 1 and clearly had the ability to be a very good champs player. I agree, we shouldn't read too much into his loan spell after a long injury lay off...

And how signing Benno wouldn't be MOVING FORWARD is beyond me. People seem to have confused the phrases 'looking forward' and 'moving forward' a bit...! Former players have a lot more chance of re-joining a club they were happy with before. See Crofts / Bennett as good recent examples...

you are joking aren't you ?did anyone else witness last years loan spell with us / He was rarely involved . If Norwich want to sell him it's for a very good reason . Jolly decent fellow though !

To supply Hemed who looks good in the air and Baldock. It is easy to suggest players but to suggest those within our range of finances is more difficult. Yes there are better but can we afford them?

Conway is the last player we had who could REALLY cross a ball for me, Bennett was good but thought he flattered to decieve a little bit in his last spell, possibly due to the injury he had before.

Good shout I had forgotten about him!! Thought Bennett was poor on loan last time around but hard to judge him on that as he came into a side low on confidence and just back from injury. If fit I think he would fit well in a Hughton side and is capable of chipping in with a few goals as well

This as well. Unfortunately, he never actually got to play with Ulloa, who would've thrived on the sort of crosses he put in.

 

[fat old seagull]

Can we spend our pennies on a feckin GOALSCORER!!!!!!!

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Whispers that he'll be returning again but for longer than a couple months.

Excellent !

Zamora and Bennett, and 3/4 others and we'll be good to go.

 

[TSB]

Excellent !

Zamora and Bennett, and 3/4 others and we'll be good to go.

Elphick, Leo, Barnes and Noone?

Shit, has Hemed gone to Norwich already?

I think the current 4 forwards might do ok for us fully fit and provided with some decent service. They're certainly an improvement on the forward options that we started seasons 11/12, 12/13 and 14/15 with.

You're quite right about Conway. Wasn't popular on NSC though.

 

[Bladders]

I think he was just starting to get his form back when his loan spell ended.

 

[Barham's tash]

Would much rather prefer Noone back but unlikely. Bennett looked slow and cumbersome, he used to glide around the pitch but now huffs and puffs

 

[BensGrandad]

He is still only 26 yrs old so if fit and over his injuries. Yes without a 2nd thought.

BG you'd have anyone back. Talk about rose tinted testicles!
