Alan Bennett is a quality centre half. He is easily good enough for Championship level, as he proved last season with Soton .....whose supporters rated him the worst defender that they had ever seen? The same set of supporters who watched Francis Benali play week-in week-out for more than a decade....

Lads, Alan Bennett is a quality centre half. He is easily good enough for Championship level, as he proved last season with Soton, who wanted to extend his loan but Coppell decided to recall him and not give him a game, before farming him out to his buddies in League Two. Coppell just won't give him...

He rejected a loan to Cork City in February, the City players mentioned that he was quite arrogant and wasn't really up to standard in training either. If out with a broken ankle, how? :? Oh and I seem to remember him as a decent big centre back. Nice little cover, may boot the ball into the crowd ...

Good luck to Benno if its true. He's good enough for Ireland and is better than most of the CB's on offer but he should have been called up while at CCFC and not after 6 months of no senior football.
