It seems we have been after Benno, so I don't think we can 100% rule this out. I wouldn't worry about how he played with Sami in charge.
I still think on deadline day we'll see :
OUT McCourt, CMS
IN Benno, Power
With 6 senior players out of contract in the summer, and the 4 loans leaving at the end of the season, it would be very wise to start building the 2015/16 team now.
Hopefully, we'll get 2 or 3 in ( Bennett, Power, decent striker ).
