Benson & Glennon

Quoted from quebec38

Don’t think either are ready for the championship yet especially Glennon but L1 or 2 definitely. I think we’d be well placed to take them if they came back down to this division however if they have offers from above then obviously we’re going to struggle but who knows.

I thought both did well last season but Benson already looked a class above L2 for me. Laser guided passing that we haven’t seen at BP in a long time.

For me it was glennon above benson. His performance at Bradford was one of the best ive seen for a long time

Among their many positive attributes is that they have pace and can last for 90 mins. Don’t think that there’s any town supporter who wouldn’t be absolutely delighted  to have them back.
I must say I didn’t think that we would have a sniff of getting them back but - just in case they might read this forum (u never know!)- we’d love to see u back here. They would know that they’d get game time fellas and good footballers want to be playing In proper games don’t they?

if they are loaning him out again...........

Thing is, if Burnley are happy with their progress at BP under Ollie, they'l be more than happy to punt (either of) them back again, surely? At the level Ollie works at you assume he's probably got a decent working relationship with Sean Dyche so don't really see an issue of they still both need game time?

I do think this might be a case of clubs 'warehousing' players, though.  They get them young, get them to sign a long deal, then farm them out to see how they get on.  This is fair enough and totally their prerogative, but it seems there's such a small percentage of players for whom this actually works.  By and large, these players are just kept on in the hope they miraculously become Premier League players, or as a much more likely Plan B, they'll be sold for a profit.  Take the lad at Morecambe who's been mentioned; at 22, and sent there for another season, do Burnley REALLY think he'll become a Burnley 1st team regular?  Very unlikely.  Sometimes you've just got to let players go rather than stringing them along.

And if Jake Hessenthaler isn’t sorted with another club yet then I’d have him back in a heartbeat....

Both Burnley and Sunderland know that we look after their uoung players on loan and give them every opportunity to shine.

Surely Holloway will use that fact to the fullest to bring good young and hungry players into.the club this year, and he will look after them.properly.

At the end of the day, both of their professional playing careers consist of about 10( league two games. It’s not as if they’re gonna walk into a championship side.

Sometimes it’s more about a players progression and what particular level they play at may not be a measure.

Glennon has started around a dozen senior games and Benson around the same so a loan back to our level would arguably progress them after a promising start.

All that said I don’t think we’ll see them in Town shirts but would be more than happy if we did.

Not for me - ultimately what was he?
No goals in him
Bits and pieces player
L2 run of the mill
One of ,any who ply their trade at that level

I think if you are serious promotion contenders you can do better than Jake -great pro and good lad that he is
