If he comes down and does well, then I'm sure he will become part of Xmas shopping list as most of squad requires serious additions..

Yep looking forward to seeing Elliot Bennett running down the wing beating 3 players putting in a peach of a cross for OGRADY to fall on his arse BALDOCK to miss kick it then COLUNGA to smash it over the bar at the back post from 2 yards out

Bennett only has 20 months left on his contract at Norwich. If he's not part of their plans then January is the sort of time when they'd be looking to sell if they want to break even or make a profit on him. He would; in theory, fit perfectly in to Hyypia's style of play as he's able to defend well, but as we know is absolutely dynamite going forward. As much as I love Calderon, this is a role he isn't really up to.
Maybe Bloom and Hyypia met due to recent poor results. Hyypia cited that he didn't have the players available to play how he wants, and a rushed summer transfer window hasn't helped him strengthen correctly. Bloom has then pushed through deals for players the management feels we need. - A 'keeper who's good with the ball at his feet, a wing back who's excellent going forward and a target man (still to come, Danny Graham?). Signing them for a month essentially gives Hyypia 4/5 games to turn things around before he's gone and the loanees who fit his style aren't left clogging up the wage bill.
On top of fitting our style of play, Bennett also offers some real quality from set pieces, something Holla and Caskey; for all their hype, have been unable to do. He'll also help Hyypia out massively when we have a fully fit squad. Bruno playing CM, covering for EB when we attack COULD actually work. It has the potential to be much more fluid than Calderon/Bruno or Bruno/Gardener. Having Bruno in the centre would then allow Caskey to play in his more natural position, as a more attacking midfielder, with Kaz dropping to the bench to be used as an impact sub.
A lot of the above was educated guesswork BUT I feel that this will be the turning point, or the final nail in the coffin for SH. We shall see

Do we want a talented professional player back who we know plays with passion and gives 100% and is an all round lovely down to earth guy?
Na - bore off - let's stick with Agestein and Gardner.

That's just highlighted to me how our league1 was better than our current team.
Also emphasises how quality Murray was.

I agree with a lot of this, but not the "Holla hasn't offered anything from set pieces" bit. JFC is still largely ineffective from corners but our centre back is our top scorer and they've all come from corners or wide free kicks - IMO Holla has finally made us a threat from corners. That said, I agree that EB is still an upgrade.

Is it not obvious that if EB returns it would be at the expense of Calderon .

Why he has played at right wing and right back for us very effectively so an obvious right wing back who can get forward and get back quick to defend
