Hamer & Bennett

[Wightbee]

I shook hands with Benno before the Luton game and asked him if we would see him next seaon, he said we would. I meant in a Brentford shirt not somebody elses!

 

[blunstone]

Lets hope!

 

[moribee]

After seeing Bens rear end on Setanta today at Barrow after being sent off,he is a Bee for life

Maybe not.
Happy birthday mate see you next season.

 

[moribee]

Cheers Bill

Looks like it is $hit or bust as we have made Bennett the best offer we can!

http://www.richmondandtwickenhamtim...dfc/4420092.Bees_won_t_break_bank_for_Clarke/

Andy is going on holiday now aswell so dont expect any signings for atleast another week

Also i know its the wrong thread but looks like Clarke wont be here either "we will not break the bank" sounds like a bit of greed from Clarkey

 

[Boston Bee]

Or, optimistically, they're at the critical all-but-sorted phase in the contract negotiations and Scott is engaging in some brinksmanship. I'm curiously positive.

If he is a free agent why would he not want to sign ?

 

[jlove]

If he is a free agent why would he not want to sign ?

If it's Alan Bennett you're referring to, I met a chap in the garage who said that Alan had heard about the cash coming into ManUre and that Sir Alex was concerned that Rio Ferdinand's injury was worse than expected.

 

[SmiffyBee]

If he is a free agent why would he not want to sign ?

errr..perhaps he has had more than one offer

 

[Claire]

errr..perhaps he has had more than one offer

With the other offering more money...

 

[swr22]

All quiet on the Benno front, then. The only encouraging news, from my point of view, is unlike Billy Clarke and the Daghenham lot, we have not heard too many other clubs interested in him. Come home, benno!

 

[ladbroke]

Bennett was quoted as saying in a newspaper:

'It is looking like I will stay at Brentford. I have moved down there near Twickenham as I couldn't battle the M4 every day. There is an offer for me. Andy Scott has a lot of time for me and that means a lot.'

Obviously doesn't trust the trains either

 

[ladbroke]

I wouldn't.. They are run so badly these days.. always late, if running at all. Overcrowded sardine cans.

Which Newspaper?

 

[ladbroke]

Reading Post.

 

[readingbee]

Reading his comments in the Chronny he says he has had 4 clubs in two years and this is the first time he feels like it's home. IMHO I would be very surprised if he isn't with us come July 1st on a two year contract.

 

[rebelraider]

Benno due to play in a testimonial at cork city next friday along with o'flynn (barnet) will let you know if theres any news as regards signing back for the bees

 

[Inappropriate Smilies Bee]

damn right

Bennett was quoted as saying in a newspaper:
'Andy Scott has a lot of time for me and that means a lot.'

spoke with the "manager" last night and "Andy" was adament that his milkshake brings all the boys to the yard. not sure what he was on about really.

 

[swr22]

Tell him that you have flown out to London to tell him to sign with Brentford. He'll be impressed!

 

[Ghost]

or think he's being stalked and want well away!

 

[Leeds bee]

I think Cork are one of the sides tracking him, so hope he isn't going to sign for them at the same time!

 

[wanderer paul]

He'll be signing for the Bees come this July.................... patience please !

 

[Werderbee]

Just read in a Reading freebie newspaper that Southend are sniffing around for his services.

 

[Garybaldbee]

I think Cork are one of the sides tracking him, so hope he isn't going to sign for them at the same time!

No inside information at all of course but I'd be very surprised if he went back to Cork - the League of Ireland is a significant step down in quality from League 1 and I can't see how Cork could match the wages on offer this side of the water either.

 

[Bill Benn]

Just got back from my local out here and my mate keith who is a southend fan has said he has signed.:sad:

Oh and Billy Clarke has agreed terms with Swindon.

..presumably for Southend?

All rumours of cource..

But these are rumours which will help me through the working day tomorow no end Brilliant!

While you're on a roll, would you care to shed any light on any extra possible gloom, Bill?

He is the same bloke who gave me the nod on Tilson to Watford so there is some hope

 

[MetalBee]

Just read in a Reading freebie newspaper that Southend are sniffing around for his services.

Their star centre back signed for Huddersfield so makes sense they'd be interested.

Hopefully just means it's even better when he signs for us knowing he turned down other clubs

:hopefulsmilie:

 

[Brentford_till_die]

Cant see why on earth Alan would go to Southend.

 

[kevalutonbee]

Cant see why on earth Alan would go to Southend.

The pier, some very nice fresh seafood, Adventureland, Sealife Centre make it good for a day trip before preseaon starts at Jersey Road

 

[NorthamptonBee]

Cant see why on earth Alan would go to Southend.

Maybe he won't, maybe it's best to relax and wait and see. We all want Bennett to stay and we must surely be in a good position for his services, don't forget Scott was off to Watford last week.

 

[Alan D]

Cant see why on earth Alan would go to Southend.

If they pay more money than us and give him the length of contract that he requires, why wouldn't he go to them? On paper they have as much chance (or even better) as us of doing well this coming season.

 

[Ace Face]

Cant see why on earth Alan would go to Southend.

More £££, bigger crowds, established Lg 1 team and potential new stadium in 2 years.

Also having Simon Brown behind him would seal it.

 

[Ace Face]

Maybe he won't, maybe it's best to relax and wait and see. We all want Bennett to stay and we must surely be in a good position for his services, don't forget Scott was off to Watford last week.

I heard through my best man`s chimney sweep Scott to West Brom or Charlton or Soton or Pompey or Swansea.

 

[NorthamptonBee]

Just got back from my local out here and my mate keith who is a southend fan has said he has signed.:sad:

If Keith said it then it must be true.

 

[Ghost]

Seems we are only hearing about Swindon and Southend now, seems a bit fishy to me

 

[SmiffyBee]

I hear all sorts of voices too, most nights.....the trick is not to pay to much attention, unless they are poking you with a stick

If any of them seem to be muttering this weeks lotto numbers can you PM please?

 

[Bill Benn]

If Keith said it then it must be true.

Keiths not a mate of yours aswell is he?

 

[NorthamptonBee]

Keiths not a mate of yours aswell is he?

Not when he says things like that....

 

[swr22]

My mate Keith- a different one- says that we are signing Ricky Otto, Gianluca Festa, Ian Selley and Andrew Rosindell's deceased Stafforshire Terrier, Spike. He's in the know on these things. Oh, and Scott to Boca Juniors, apparently.

 

[Ghost]

Oh, and Scott to Boca Juniors, apparently.

River Plate surely

 

[Brentford_till_die]

All we need now is Bennett to sign, also with Billy.
Then it will be looking strong and stronger when we bring in a good kepper.
Sorted

From Sky Sports Website:

"Reading have handed a new contract to goalkeeper Ben Hamer, who is expected to be their number one next season."


Now confirmed on Reading website:

[Ubee]

Fair play to Ben - he deserves it. Would have loved to have him here this season though.

 

[Alan D]

Fair play to Ben - he deserves it. Would have loved to have him here this season though.

Thats why I really wanted Reading to go up to the Premier League as I don't think they would have risked him as their number one if that had happened. Then maybe we could have got him back for another year.

Still good luck to the young man and I hope he does Reading proud.

 

[rebelraider]

according to newspaper in cork benno will sign his 2 year contract next week
