MackworthRamIsGod Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I've always held this hope that 1 season he stays fit, as a decent season and someone bids big money for him. He has been around for years and should be approaching about 42, without looking I'm guessing he is still only 25ish. If it wasnt for the incident last year I'd say keep him on low wages, but I wont be sad to him and his fellow musketeer leave the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rample Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I liked Mason, but he's hardly ever fit, doesn't take his first team opportunities, and I don't think he'll ever be good enough for the standard we're aiming for. That's without off field incidents. When he plays he puts himself about but there's not enough evidence to say as a winger he can regularly put in crosses like the only memorable one he did last season, or that moved centrally he'll ever be a regular scorer. Expect it will be loan with a view to a free, but for a modest fee with sell on and I wouldn't be gutted, anyone else whilst you're at it Gazza? I like him but Davies off the wage bill would be nice, Forsyth? Hudds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GangwayD Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 For various reasons I doubt the club would have / will offer Bennett a particular attractive contract. Personally I wouldn't be that bothered if he left. Commitment and effort has always been shown on the pitch but lacks awareness and ability for me to be in a side striving for promotion - he'd always be the one you'd be looking to upgrade. I'd also be looking to move Lawrence on for his part in the documented 'incident' last year and try to have a fresh changing room so we can finally move on from all that.

He’s 23, he could still be playing in 15 years time....though with his injury record I wouldn’t put money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Is he still young enough to go to tribunal if we offer him a contract? ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Absolute bargain for another championship team he had an excellent season last year showing great progression for the rams but plenty on here want to throw away someone who can actually carry on that improvement and who can cover a number of forward positions as well - I hope the club see what he can offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Seems like more than a coincidence that this story has popped up at the same time as his contract negotiations. Looks like a case of "well we have options so please sweeten the deal". If that is the case, given his conduct earlier this season coupled with his injury record he should consider himself lucky we are even willing to entertain the idea of offering him a new contract. Put a sensible deal in front of him and he can take it or leave it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 A Goal or an assist every 160 minutes last season people - please compare that to the likes and cost of say Lawrence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuff264 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 There's ability in there, low on confidence and every time he about gets there he injures himself. If somehow he stayed fit for a season he could be an asset, but just feel it will never happen here Guarantee next club he's at he plays every game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynny Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I have always said, and will always maintain, that if Bennett hadn't played for us at 15 then he wouldn't have got half the stick he gets. But because he has been around for so long forget that he is still young and still has plenty of time to progress even further. He had a great season last season, and looked like a an important member of the squad. This season has been a big step back for him, for one reason and another.

I always liked Bennett but that was purely because he came through the academy. I think we all wanted him to do well because of that but he is an impact sub at best! If Waghorn and Marriott had started the play off final, we would have won.. He isn't good enough as a main striker unless he drops down a league. Would do well for someone like Burton. Good luck to him is he does go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I think Gary Rowett must be on some hard core stuff in London. Absolutely off his rocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't use him much at Derby but I actually think Bennett would really suit a Rowett team. They condense up, draw teams in and create a lot of space for forwards to run into. One thing Bennett has an objective strength in is running into space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
