heid3ster Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 As a Bennett supporter I agree with this. I think he will come good, I dont think he has. Therefore does not yet deserve a new deal. I agree he doesn't deserve a new deal - yet. Hope he earns himself one this season. I was only pointing out that he's done about as well as Clark, who did somehow manage to get himself a new deal. I guess my real question isn't "Why didn't Bennett get a new deal?" but rather "Why did Clark get a new deal?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted July 25, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 25, 2013 A new haircut would go a long way toward improving his reputation. If you're going to look like a narcissistic pop star you need to have something special in your locker to avoid appearing a bit of a prat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert made Clark captain and stuck with him through some pretty dark days. Clearly he sees something in him. I dont know what to be honest.

ciggiesnbeer Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Update actually the physioroom says he has a thigh injury. I hope that is the reason he isnt in the squad. I want to see competition for spots not the lad frozen out. edit: above^ k thanks! Edited July 31, 2013 by ciggiesnbeer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Def injured but surely now second choice going into the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 He definately has ability on the ball, but he just seemed short of confidence last year. He also seemed scared to attack down his wing (again, probably down to confidence). He'll probably benefit from being Luna's backup. He can make some appearances in the cups or when Luna is injured, and hopefully he can improve his all-round game without having the fear that he could cost us our Premier League place!

Eastie Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I like Bennett and think he will be an asset to us but from what I've seen of luna i am very impressed and expect luna to be first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 1, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 1, 2013 His performance against Norwich last season is one of the most baffling I have ever witnessed. Should have been sent off twice over really but still didn't discourage him from tugging every shirt in sight. Just kept at it. The penalty he eventually gave away was so inevitable. Never seen such a liability and I saw the whole career of Bernie Gallagher god rest his soul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 he still has a lot to prove but he has shown plenty of promise between the **** ups. I still think he'd be better in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I see him more as a winger too. He's great at bombing down the line and getting a cross in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 He needs to put on 2 stones full stop. Else he will never be a defender. Drogba Shits things the size of him for breakfast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
