Cunningham off to Blackburn?

[Pedro de la Rosa]

Thing is he spent last year warming the bench all the while taking a solid wage. Its OK to say what if Bennett gets injured, but if he doesn't then we are just wasting more money. The fact he probably would like to be playing is also a factor. Ideally we would have some up and coming youth players on lowish wages to cover some of these spots.

Only question for me is why sign him in the first place, I suppose in the PL we could run a larger wage bill but still.

Don't let him go until we get a replacement. If Bennett does get injured, we're stuffed. This can't have caught us out, there's been rumours for weeks.

Who was covering before Cunningham signed? The season we went up. Genuine question as I can't recall.

Jazz but he has been permanently injured ever since, which presumably is why they signed Cunningham.

We had to get Armand Traoré in on loan for the second half of the season. I think Bennett started about 40 matches in the league.

Traore did OK for us. He's playing LB for a Turkish u23 side now.... easing towards retirement in 2 years.

Ah of course! He was alright to be fair.
