Eliott Bennett - Returns for a Month

[Psychobilly freakout]

I heard whispers the 1 month loan was at least with a view to extending it to the end of the season? Did I imagine that?

were these those whispers you hear in your head Mellotron or just wishful whispers

 

[Icy Gull]

His reading of the game was excellent.

Brought some much needed quality and if that is the first full game he's played for a while it is a testament to Norwich's ability to get a player fit. Calm head and leadership skills too, we are a bit short on that. Without him I doubt we would have ended the barren run, that is how influential I thought he was.

 

[glasfryn]

Norwich won't want much, and our coffers are overflowing with the 8-10 million for Leo, and the 2.5 million for Buckley.

Sign him up.

I was under the impression that they wanted 4.5 m and we think he is worth 2.5m ..........use the Buckers money

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

He was grinning like a Cheshire cat after the match, really up for the team celebrations. Good on him, just what we needed.

I reckon we will look to sell Kazenga in January as I've not heard about him signing a new contract. We won't let him go for nothing. We'll use some of our surplus from the sale of Leo plus what we get from Kaz to buy EB. I have no knowledge to say that this is true, but it seems to make sense.

 

[Acker79]

wonder if we can keep him for longer than a month
or even consider signing him permanently



or least hope some of his passion rubs off on some of the others

"Bennett has arrived on an initial one-month loan from fellow Championship side Norwich City"

http://www.seagulls.co.uk/news/article/bennett-completes-loan-switch-2054922.aspx
"Brighton & Hove Albion have completed the signing of Elliott Bennett on an initial month's loan from Norwich City."

They certainly seem to be suggesting they might want to extend it (I believe teams are limited to one month loans during the loan window).

For comparison:
"Brighton & Hove Albion have completed the signing of Wigan Athletic goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi on a one-month loan deal."

Rumours from the players lounge on Tuesday night are that Elliot is house hunting in the Brighton area due to his contract at Norwich running out.

Not very accurate rumours.

or house hunting to rent for a month or 2..3?

 

[Javeaseagull]

The way Norwich are playing I would expect him to be back in their first team PDQ. Shame because I hoped he would stay longer. They say never go back but there are exceptions to every rule. Would love him back permanently.

 

[AZ Gull]

From today's Argus:-

Albion are on course to extend Elliott Bennett's loan spell from Norwich for another month.

Boss Sami Hyypia is confident he will still have the services of the right-winger for the rest of 2014.

Hyypia revealed to The Argus: "We are trying to extend Elliott's loan, because I really like him as a character as well as a player.

I am quite optimistic that it will happen. He wants to stay as well. I think we are talking about one month more."

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

As a loanee it is not ideal. But another month will be good news.

 

[Perkino]

Extend it until January and then buy him back for good would be ideal

 

[Driver8]

Extend it until January and then buy him back for good would be ideal

I would love that but can't see him taking a substantial pay cut no matter how much he loves us.

 

[Simster]

As a loanee it is not ideal. But another month will be good news.

Fingers crossed he comes back permanently in January.

Unless you're a youngster coming up through the teams, going out on loan is often the first step out of the longer term door. If Norwich really wanted Bennett fit and raring they would be working with him themselves. An extra month on loan is ok, but it would be great to get him back on a permanent deal, however I think his wages might be over an above what we can pay

 

[W.C.]

God I would LOVE to have him back. LOVE it I would.

 

[Machiavelli]

I would love that but can't see him taking a substantial pay cut no matter how much he loves us.

According to Norwich FC, his contract is up in June 2016, so you're probably right on this. See:

[ewe2]

He only needs to be here,until March is fully fit,surely as much of a fan that i am of Elliot.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

I would love that but can't see him taking a substantial pay cut no matter how much he loves us.
