    I'm all for rejuvenating the squad, but as long as the deals aren't too long or too expensive, this actually makes plenty of sense.

    If we can get bennett for another year and hoilet then we can concentrate on other positions we need in the summer.

    As it stands we will need

    Right back
    Right wing
    Left back
    Left wing
    Centre back

    All before we can even think about having a bit more sparkle in midfield.
    If we can take 2 of those problems off the table, even for a year then it would be understandable.

    Id say wingers are nowhere near a priority.

    Right back number 1 along with a centre back.

    Then a striker then a creative midfielder.

    We dont need a left back under any circumstances at the moment.

    As it stands, come the summer the only wingers we have at the club will be Josh Murphy and Gavin Whyte - both of whom are massively out of favour, and the only left back will be Joel Bagan who has played 3 games.

    As much as it would be nice to address other areas, we have to fix these parts first.
    Right back clearly number 1 and we will also need a centre back.

    Strikers we probably will keep what we have, in Moore, Glatzel and Harris that's not terrible for Championship level.

    I'd sign Bennett to a 2 year deal and Hoilett to a one year one. I wouldn't sign them to longer, or on big wages but they're not our biggest issues and we can't sign 15 players next summer! Hoilett is our best contracted winger and Bennett is fine. He's not as good as he was but everyone is playing poorly, so I'm happy to give him the benefit of the doubt.

    Sounds reasonable to me.

    yeah I wouldn't be too disappointed with that outcome. you would have to wonder how good Bennett will be as he's approaching 33 as you don't see too many fullbacks at that age, but if he's not on massive wages then it isn't a huge problem.

    I love watching Hoillett control a ball while many of those around him seem like very ordinary and unimpressive journeymen.
