No contest Bennett offers far more as a play maker, wide man set pieces and goal scorer.

Noone.

oooh like choosing between my kids...
Im going plump for Benno - as even when he is having a bad day going forward you still get a defensive display and hard work from him

I never realised Noone was the older player, thought he was much younger.
I think Bennett has more to his all round game than Craig though so I'd go for him. He'll need to play better than he did for the majority of his loan though (admittedly that was in Hyypia's side).

Benno

Should have a neither option both smell of desperation to me. Bennett came here to get match fit nothing more.

A very, very close call but Noone. On the basis that he would give us the energy and dynamism that our attacking play has sometimes lacked this season. Plus, he's a genuine winger and with Kaz out injured that is a position that we're severely lacking in.

Noone. I like prospect of both him and KLL on the wings. Their end product may be a bit random, but that's the exciting part.

Both as we need a couple of wingers with the option of one playing a free role

Noone for more excitement and the occasional match winning display. I have not found Bennett to be impressive above League 1 level. He scored 2 goals for Norwich in 63 appearances. A good Championship squad player.

Noone for me, quality player and he's attitude around the team is exactly what a team needs.

I opened this thread with every intention of voting Benno, but there's a nagging voice in my head that would love to see Nooney that little bit more.
Similar thoughts here - although I think its partly just the 'new player excitement', which isn't there for Benno, as we've already seen him back. If both were just rumoured, and we hadn't seen Benno back already, I think this vote would be close to 100% Bennett.

I think that's correct. Additionally, Benno has not really looked like the same player that we once had in his performances back here. Granted, he's feeling his way back from a long-term injury, we play a different system and brand of football to when he was here last time and morale wasn't really there.

Yeah you may be right.
But I'm reminded (I don't know why) of when we beat Wednesday in one of the last games at Withdean; Bennett scored a screamer to put it beyond doubt, but it was Nooney's performance that really stuck in my mind afterwards.
Benno is definitely the more complete / better rounded player. And probably has just as much (if not more) end product than Noone. So I don't know why I feel this way. Oh well.

Bennett - by an absolute mile.
