Ryan Bennett

Release Goundry and move Pearson to a coaching role?

If we can sign him you sign him, even if its just to stop your rivals picking up another piece. Ignoring the fact that Bennett will make the squad better and under Hurst if Bennett did take someones place in the squad he will of earnt it and not just because he's played in the Prem

Who would want to be a manager eh

If we signed him and then he took someone's place, that is likely to be because he is better. If he replaced Waterfall at the back would he be better enough to make up for waterfalls goals? If he replaced smith would he still have retained enough pace for us to not be left slow in CD? I genuinely have no idea. That's without even thinking of maher. It'd be a brilliant problem to have and, if we don't already, we'd have easily the strongest central defence in the league you'd think. But would it be money well spent when we are surely targeting the ever elusive striker to replace taylor and or mcatee longer term - I can see both sides to the argument.

If we did sign him that would surely leave Pearson (who is himself a perfectly competent lg2 defender in my opinion) as surplus and leaving in January. I wonder if Wrexham would have the balls to admit they were idiots to let him go in the first place and pay us money to get him back, which they could easily afford but would be a tad embarrassing.

If Bennett was to sign, the other central defenders on the books would have to play really, really, really well to win a place, even on the bench.

Seems unlikely he'll end up here as there are some relatively local League 1 clubs who would be delighted to sign him. If the price is right.

Ryan could sign for Hull and we could sign Smith on a permanent deal.

Problem solved  

imagine at the end of the 20/21 that we would be sitting just outside the playoffs with a player of Bennetts talents training with us and us mulling over whether we should be trying to sign him. What a mental turnaround of a year and a half eh.

Might have been mentioned before but he could be a great replacement for Andy Smith if he got recalled back to the Targers who are leaking goals badly at the moment.

Again give your heads a wobble if you wouldn’t sign him.
Players understand that manager will play his best players.

There’s levels and bennet is near the top of them.

All this conjecture, it is clear that when Hurst signs for Rotherham his first transfer into the club will be a fit Ryan Bennett who proved himself whilst training at Town.
