Should the club accept Bennett's request?

It's not as if we need to cash in. If he really wants to go, he can leave in the summer. Fabregas wanted to leave Arsenal last summer, they said no and he seems to be doing alright this season.

Agreed. Its too late to get a decent replacement in.
Decline the offer, make him stay until the end of season. If he still wants to go then, he can go with everyone's blessing.

He doesn't seem the type to not make an effort so keep him especially as he signed a new contract this year!
Torres at Liverpool is a different matter, thyr have to sell as he'll just mope about again.
