AVFC44 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Good attitude, low wages (I imagine a fair bit less than Cissokho) and better than last years backup Kieran Richardson. Out of his depth perhaps in the Premier League, but even at the time I think a lot of the abuse he received was more that he was 'flavour of the month' in terms of being a scapegoat and i'm sure that worked wonders for his confidence... I'd say in this league he's more than adequate as a backup for Amavi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie09 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Bennett has a decent left foot whereas Cissohko is comfortably the worst left back I've had the misfortune to watch in a Villa shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Neither of them impress me, but I am happy to leave it to the experienced coaching staff to keep one or bin both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexbelowsound Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) People using a forum to discuss and debate shocker. Ill fight anyone who says differently to me! Edited July 11, 2016 by sexbelowsound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Neither of them are particularly good. I haven't seen Bennett for a while so he *might* have got better. I have seen Cissokho, and he's absolute toilet. Since Cissokho probably earns far more as well, I'd probably on balance bin him and keep Bennett, but let's be honest this isn't an inspiring discussion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexbelowsound Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Its the choice between chlamydia and gonorrhea. We've collectively had one in the recent past but the other we haven't had for awhile. Thankfully though we have STD free horizontal refreshment back from injury so hopefully we need neither! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 ill hold my hand up and be honest that i wasnt a fan of his at first, he was out of his depth in the premier league and was far too weak, since then hes clearly bulked up, but dont think he has played a game since, the championship would do him good before the club goes back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1958Villan Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I've always thought, even when he was at Middlesbrough, that Bennett's real position should be as a wide left midfielder. My reasoning for that being that he has great delivery from corners and free-kicks, as well as from open play but, as a defender he is pretty clueless.

Ha, we should just retire the left back position, play 3-4-2-1 or something mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsmithusa Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 the fact that he scored two long range free kicks v GAK may well be down to an inept keeper. But, long-range and on frame is, of itself, and improvement on our recent past. I would like to see him play to see if he has learned to defend better. If not, a left side of Amavi with Joe right in front might be fun. Most have thought Bennett was solid in attack but suspect in defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 If we have Bennet as an attacking option we really are scraping the barrel, thankfully the word removed that used to own us has gone and chances of the likes of Bennet being around this team for much longer than their current deal is slim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillanousOne Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I don't think he has ever been that bad, last close season he looked good and scored a great solo goal then was shipped out. I don't think he can defend, but i used to think he could play a different wide or midfield role, maybe that is wishful thinking. Either way I think we should give him a chance or sell him, no more loans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much this, but yeah, Cissokho is dog shite awful. I'll leave it up to RDM in all honesty though, I mean what do I know? I'm just a slightly overweight 41 year old semi-professional nobody.
