Don't forget that, in all likelihood, we won't have Smith or Pearson next season. If we could sign Bennett on a two-year deal, we'd have three outstanding centre backs for this level and the one above, provided Maher lives up to his potential.

I agree, we don’t ‘need’ him.

However, if he ends up being an improvement on Waterfall, he would be worth it.

Played right back at times for us all those eons ago and looked alright, is also i'm sure savvy enough to play a defensive mid role. If we can sign him on a 2 or 3 year deal and it's not a stretch to.do so, absolute no brainer. I don't see it happening though. If he's living round here now, makes you wonder what Lincoln and Barnsley are waiting for.

Things like this can potentially upset the dressing room, imagine your Luke waterfall, you've been outstanding for this club Inthe past year, you've got a great partnership with another top defender and got great players in your position in reserve, then along comes a former fans favourite and quality ex premier League player, in this case, as good as Ryan Bennett was for us, and however much I'd like him in the squad, I'd never risk upsetting what we have now, you see it time and again at clubs, the wrong signing at the wrong time, Hurst isn't daft, and we won't be signing Ryan Bennett.

Let me get this straight. We don't sign a player that would be the best centre back at the club and probably the entire league because it would upset the apple cart?

Priceless.

Call me old fashioned but I want us to sign the best players we can get and much as I like Luke Waterfall, he’s not anywhere near Ryan Bennett’s level.

As much as I like waterfall , if Bennett is available and wants to sign we have to . We want the club to move forward and this would possibly be the best signing in this division this year .

Quoted from Poojah
Just to add to the potential conundrum, a smidge over two years ago he was signed by and playing for Leicester City, who finished 5th in the Premier League (missing out on Champions League qualification on the final day).

He’s not Danny Collins, who was 36 and hadn’t played in the PL for 5 years prior to signing him (and still did alright by the way), he’s a different prospect altogether.

The more I think about it the more I feel if money wasn’t a blocker then you’d have to do it. He’s the same age as Luke Waterfall, who has never played above League One (and even then only fleetingly). If you’re prepared to throw sentiment out of the window, it’s a no-brainer in terms of ability.  


Absolutely, he's a completely different class to players in our league.

I’d sign him could be the difference between play offs and automatic promotion 🤞
