The_Steve Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 So, he's been sent on loan the last two seasons, eh? Hmmmm. Fernando Navarro is their first choice left back, they had to play Coke out of position when he was unavailable. Alberto Moreno was promoted from the youth team to play left back in the latter part of the season since Luna was out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I don't think it's scape goating. Bennet had a very poor season and we needed better. I think this is a replacement and its up to bennet to step up and prove he can play at this level. criticism is fine, especially when qualified and constructive, but straight up criticism is fine too just straight up needless abuse is out of order, especially about young players. as has been said bennett did get some cracking crosses in later in the season and looked good going forward. i don't think this is a replacement, and certainly PL would never call it that, we had one young LB, now we have two. he wants to do that all over the park to create competition for places so training gets the best out of players and we perform better on matchday. Luna may well start ahead of Bennett, that does not make Bennett shit. Totally agree with that, the criticism of Bennett has just been out of order on this forum and only bettered by some 'fans' who verbally abuse him at games. Back on topic we need another left back and it looks like we might be in for an interesting prospect. Lichaj has gone and Stephens does not appear to be in Lambert's plans so we definitely need another LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) Think he should go bald but keep the beard, our defence needs to strike fear into teams. Edited June 16, 2013 by samjp26 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I really like we've addressed all the positions we need to so early on in the year. Do you think BJ10 that we've successfully addressed the DM position in our team with the quality needed concerning Sylla? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Weii il like Bennett, good at going foward, great crosser, and plays well against good players.Played well against Lennon, Walcott, Mata and Valencia, shit against Bradford and Norwich, seems to indicate a lack of concentration more than ability.Not sure he his any worse defensively than Lowton tbh, who i saw get roasted on a few occasions last year.

Phumfeinz Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 All those on favour of signing him on the strength of his beard say aye. We've sorely lacked a strong beard since Mellberg left. I am all for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) Have never seen the guy play and know nothing about him if he is to be our new LB but i would have preferred Cresswell. Edited June 16, 2013 by Morpheus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
