Yobocop 1,097 Posted June 4, 2011 Mr 4444 Pete_norw, I would imagine there is scope to get both Snodgrass and Bennett in, I would be over the moon with our current business if both signings were to come off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Starr 519 Posted June 4, 2011 Reading through the comments, it does seem the Brighton fans are already resigned to losing Bennett. Quite excited by this signing if it pulls through. Young exciting winger! What great times these are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,502 Posted June 4, 2011 [quote user="John"]Read it again CT.And by that i don''t mean just another browse over the characters in the big and bold font.[/quote]Actually I''m with CT on this one. Poyet doesn''t utter anything even vaguely like a denial, which is almost unknown for a manager in this situation.I t occurs to me that perhaps Bennett was told he could go to us once Brighton were promoted? I seem to remember some speculation about this at the time of our original interest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alysha 0 Posted June 4, 2011 "they play different wings" Despite Snodgrass being left footed, he actually plays most of his football on the right wing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smudger 0 Posted June 6, 2011 [quote user="Ches right hand man "]bennett plays left snodgrass plays right .................[/quote]To clarify the little disagreement between you and Alysha, I think that Birghton have played him down the left a lot recently but it appears that he is right footed and is known to play down both wings.I even found a song that a Brighton fan had created for him, that if he does sign for us I think we should have a little tinker with it and make it in to one of our own.It went like this..."He plays on the leftHe plays on the riiiiiiiiggggggggghhhhhhhhhtttThat boy Elliot BennettMakes Ronaldo look SHITE!"

York Canary 28 Posted June 6, 2011 Looks like the fans on that website would be gutted to lose him and many rate him as their key player. Would love to get him in and if we got Snodgrass as well I''d be over the moon. Hopefully something happens this week along with news on the new kit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smudger 0 Posted June 6, 2011 or an even better one (to the tune of hokey cokey)... "Ooohh City''s Elliott Benett, City''s Elliott Bennet. he puts a cross in here, a goal in there, left wing, right wing he''s fucking everywhere...He''ll go inside to the left, or outside to the right,Running at defenders,He makes them all look 5h1te...Don''t let him get too close,Because he''ll shoot on sight,Thats what he''s all about...Ooohh Elliott BenettOoohh Elliott Benett!"

Ncfc26 0 Posted June 6, 2011 According to North Stand Chat (Brighton Forum) they have seen an article regarding Elliott Bennett leaving and them signing Buckley from Watford which was published on their version of the pink''un i believe. http://www.northstandchat.com/showthread.php?202777-Bennett-OUT-Buckley-IN.

Gingerpele 0 Posted June 6, 2011 I think anyone worried/think that we won''t sign Bennet and Snodgrass.... We will need two wingers. There is not much point having just one. And Snodgrass can probably play in the Surman position as well.Getting quite exiting all this transfer talk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
