At least we'll see the extent of Bennetts ambition as a footballer. If he is still here after the window closes he clearly is only interested in the money.
No way any mug will pay him as much as he is on here.

Why would he have to take a pay cut to go on loan? Usually his wages are split between the 2 clubs

Yeah this, if his wage was 4 a week and they paid 2 we’d still be paying 2

3 really Wael hired Hamer to sign off the right deals! What is the point of blaming ex employees for our current plight regarding underperforming expensive players surplus to requirements? We are where we are. It's the job of the new manager to sort out these issues. It's the job of the owners to give him the time and resources to do so. I was just being facetious to be honest!

No way any mug will pay him as much as he is on here. To be fair if somebody was paying us £4K a week would we take a pay cut, the blame for this lies solely at DC's door. I suppose we can't even buy up his contract as that would knacker the FFP budget for this season.

Yeah this, if his wage was 4 a week and they paid 2 we’d still be paying 2 Its a no-brainer........lets just pay half his wages and send him to Swindon. Even if its only till the end of the season at least we will be saving something rather than having a demotivated player taking 100% a week from us.

Just get him cleaning the shitters at the Mem and training ground every day and he will soon f**k off, especially after Bolders has been in there.
He should be busting a gut every time he makes an appearance to try and stay in the first XI, but he just isn't interested, pretty much what Portsmouth fans warned us of.

F*ck me, hang your head in shame DC. Two things to bear in mind: He was the replacement for Bodin that DC crowed to the press about. Now we know why it took so long for Bennett to sign for us, DC probably had to keep going back offering another 6 months each time until, at 3.5 years, Pompey decided they weren't going to stand in our way and ripped his contract up. Love DC to bits but this signing was probably his lowest point with us. Truly shocking. Thing is every Pompey fan I know described him exactly as he has been for us so surely you’d think DC would have done his homework and discovered that he’s just a flashy player with good ball control who’s lightweight and doesn’t contribute anything. Love DC too but that’s one massive f**k up.

Seems like the rumours of a £4k plus a week contract are true. That will cost the club £300k plus in wages alone unless he can be moved on before the end of his contract. Sounds to me like he will want a very big pay-off to walk away from his contract. BG is really hamstrung with so much of his budget tied up with Bennett, Nichols and Mensah. Could reshape the squad with a wages budget of £400k to £500k or so tied up in these three. It’s painful to think that he’s taking £300,000 a year from our club for what he does. I put more hard work in building a garden wall today than he has in all the matches he’s played for us. Useless player stealing a living.

For balance, and accepting that it is a crap paper, the Post articles of late suggest that Bennett's deal expires this summer, not next.

Apparently Oldham are also interested in him, but I cannot see him going there. I would certainly give Swindon 20% of his wages each month to get rid of him.

The players you’ve listed actually made appearances. Terrible ones, but appearances nonetheless. With Mensah we may as well have thrown 250k + into the nearest drain on Muller Road. One of those rare occasions where we've tried to do a Peterborough and sign a bright young spark from non-league in hope of unearthing a gem and it greatly failed. Our first mistake was going for a player Peterborough weren’t interested in

Bennett is to blame. Fair enough he got himself a great contract, no one can blame him for that, but, he doesnt put in the effort or seem to care, there's no way we would get away with his sort of contribution in our lines of work. I don't know how he sleeps at night, living off the money of the hardworking low paid, he is a disgrace.

On the other forum a year ago I said Bennett wasn't as good as some people think he is and we could do a lot better. Someone replied with:
"That's fine to carry your view, I have seen some of the things you haven't."
I still haven't seen any of those things that he did and infact I still have no idea what he thinks he saw.
