Harris would be alright if we dropped down. Bennett wasn't an automatic starter for Wigan last season, let alone this.Quote:

Im sure the Harris / Bennett swap is bollox.
Patto again, play him at a No9, he gets in the right positions and isnt afraid to get stuck in :hehe::hehe:
good luck to us
Harris for Bennett as he was 4 years ago might make sense if Bagan is still low on confidence and form and we want O'Dowda up the pitch. But for Bennett as he is now - madness.Quote:

4 years ago Bennett was one of the best in the division, now definitely notQuote:

Does anyone seriously believe that the moves we’ve supposedly been working on all month included returns for Bennett and Paterson?
Unfortunately, given the recent track record of the people running our club, it is entirely plausible.Quote:

Not sure, but our last January window was a spectacular success - all done with 48hrs if I remember. As I posted previously, I hope the club's focus and attention hasn't been distracted away from team strengthening to appointing a new manager because for me the former is by far the more important task in the short term..Quote:

Paterson is out of contract in the summer - I think that opens up the chance of us taking on his contract if we are really after him.Quote:

I think hes in their side and definitely part of the squad. Hearts wanted him.Quote:

2 interesting Free Agents......
Evans Kangwa: 30yo Zambian, can play anywhere across the front 3. Is called Evans so gets an automatic work permit.
Brahima Ouattara: Attacking Midfield/ Striker. Sacked by his previous club for not turning back up after the winter break. Seriously talented Ivorian international maybe Sol can put him on the right path.

No this gives us the opportunity to play ODowda further forward. Good player but a bit wasted at left back
Joe Bennett was an utter liability towards the end of his time here. I remember getting into a disagreement with someone on here (can’t remember who… probably just as well😂) who contended vociferously that he was a talented defender… 🤦🏻
Bennett played really well under McCarthy and the quality of our performances nosedived after he did his ACL against Derby.Quote:
