Also, he'll be thirty one soon in just over a fortnight, whereas Reach has only just turned twenty eight - I'd say that would mean a contract for Reach would cost more than one for Bennett.
Call me cold hearted, but I wouldn't want us to offer Bennett a new deal - money will be tight, and can we really afford to use a chunk of it on a player who won't be able to play half the next season?
We would sill need 2 left backs / left wing backs to cover the first half of the season, and then we'd be left with 3 for the run in - it just doesn't make any sense to me.

Bennett has been the best left back in a long long time, and we will struggle to replace him, but we need to be sensible
