BRADDAZ Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Pleased with this. Two good left backs at the club. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then when you see how good Pudil is at age 30 Bennett has a good number of years in him. This is the prime of his career so it could be another steal.

MrEdwards Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Pleased to see all the positivity, but for me the jury is still out on Bennett. Definitely an upgrade on Helan at LB, but got injured and only played something like 3 games. However in Carlos we trust and if he saw enough in training to think he can challenge Pudil, get him in.

Can see what you mean, but now we have 3 or 4 players better than Helan on the left wing as well as 2 left backs who are better than him, there's no point keeping the lad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Can't wait forever for Hélan to up his game. He's had nearly 4yrs here. Still obvious shortcomings. In last year of contract now; time to get a few quid back on him if we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 if there are any takers for Helan, ship him out as quickly as possible. very very fortunate to play championship football for 4 years. one of the least technically gifted footballers ive ever seen. Willing trier but a truly dreadful player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigash_swfc Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Pudil & Semedo CB's tonigh then. Helan/Palmer LB/RB. Wildsmith in net. Matias-Bannan-Melo-Wallace Nuhiu-Joao Buckley debut likely aswell at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we're very unlikely to see Pudil, Bannan or Wallace, other than perhaps on the bench. Nuhiu might play give he wasn't on the pitch that long.

Danish Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I hope this is true. Will be good competition for the left-back place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozzy85 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 1 hour ago, joelswfc said: Makes perfect sense as a signing. We have seen that he is an excellent full back. He knows the club and the league very well and can play on the wing if needed. It also means that Pudil can cover centre back as we have a quality left back to stand in for him. Very good point that last sentence mate. Would be a very good signing. Will really push Pudil I'd expect too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrueOwl Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) After a relatively shaky start Joe Bennett started to look the real deal by the Hull City away game. He'll never keep Amavi out of the first team but he is about as good as it gets in this league. His injury record is concerning but at 26 i'm convinced given a proper run in the side he could be our first choice left-back in time. He's quick, he looked comfortable on the ball, he can cross, and he did job on Snodgrass, and a left footed English player (if we can bring him on) in this market would be worth a fortune*. If Pudil is worth 2m+ in this market then i'd pay that for Bennett given that he's 4 years younger and English*, we could easily get 4-5 years out of him and more if he could be converted to a left sided CB later. He is a gamble but if we expect to reach the premier league within the next 3 years regardless then I'd take it for the English quota if nothing else.

Bennett is a good championship player and a proper footballer, Helan is a borderline Olympic athlete but a Conference ( or whatever it is now ) footballer The days of having Helan's in the squad needs to be over now, we're looking for promotion to the PL so we have to expect better, which fortunately we have in Buckley, Matias etc, just can't carry players like Helan anymore.
