If Donny or Mansfield were his only interested parties, he would've signed for us by now.


Exactly, I don't for a second think we're competing with them.  

But equally so anyone higher up/more appealing would have snapped him up by now, surely?  His pool of options is fairly small.  He's not exactly over the hill but at 32 the longer he's out of the game, the lower his chances of getting a decent move become.

Sometimes speculation is just that

When we beat Cambridge in R2 FA cup we can still dream of Old Trafford away…

Not remotely bothered. I think the budget is best spent elsewhere in the squad.


Up The Mariners!

January could be critical, I know finding players in Jan is tough but if we could find that illusive younger, faster, more mobile, bigger goal threat version of Taylor, and maybe a McAtee understudy/replacement next season, we could be a serious prospect for promotion. Bennett would have been a relative marginal gain, that hypothesis striker could be a game changer.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Yep, a Popper frontman is all we need to complete the squad...

All a bit weird.

Spent a long time training with us, much longer than the original announcement from the club regards it, to no avail.

Still maintain he would have proved a major asset and a coup.  Regardless of how strong we are in defence, he would be better surely?  Is it a priority area? Absolutely not, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't look to improve there if possible.   Same as any position in the team.

I don't believe we can only improve up front, nor that bringing in Bennett would have resulted in us not signing a top quality striker either.

Never did see Ryan Bennet play sadly for various reasons but a fan I knew told me he was quick but wasn't overly impressed with his footballing ability ?. Having said that has done well in the game. I've heard this view aimed at others as well eg defenders who done well and played premiership mainly due to pace and other factors eg intelligence from those who have played the game professionally ?.



One life,one love .
