Hamer & Bennett

[Simon C]

Are you sure??

If it has an extra year then yes

 

[Ambrose_1889]

I assume he's been offered an extended contract rather than an 'improved' one?

 

[Gee Bee]

Bennett has been training with Bees. Which is a good sign.

Suspect he might wait for his one months redundancy from PFA which he can get as out of contract player and sign 1st August. Play in friendlies as a trialist.

Really!
That's another one of those shocks that the Bees have recently served up.

He signed a two year contract when he joined us and this runs through June 2010. The problem is that speculation on here suggests that maybe Sam has been offered an extended contract with increased wages and that he is refusing to sign. That is untrue. I gently suggest that re-negotiating the contract of a player who is already under contract and an integral part of the squad is not an immediate priority but one that will no doubt be looked at in the near future. In that respect Sam is in the same situation as Charlie MacDonald, Nathan Elder and Ryan Dickson all important players who have entered the last year of their contracts.

That is that debate sorted then

.......Sorry Karleigh........double sigh........and the players signed on one year contracts blah, blah......in fact everyone whose contract runs out in June 2010.

But that doesn't change the fact that we have offered him a new/extended/better* contract and he hasn't signed it. Fruther, inferring from your post, he isn't going to sign it anytime soon, presumably because he believes he will be in a better bargaining position as the end of his contract approaches.

Bennett was at training today wit hthe number 6 jersey and shrots today so looks promising

 

[Boston Bee]

Must be contagious. On another thread it would seem that the Spanish kiddie has number 31 shrots

 

[rick lovesey]

AB will def be with us this coming season.

 

[walkerbee]

i like these sort of statements... wonderfully optimistic but absolutely no proof.
what's your source? otherwise we won't believe you!

 

[rick lovesey]

By chance I ran into the 2 people who should know AS better than anyone (I think that clue is sufficient to work out who this must be!) today and they were telling that a keeper is coming to us from Derby County. I asked if there was any news about AB and they said he is def with us for this season. That's what I was told and I have absolutely no reason to doubt the source. I was delighted to hear this, and am merely passing on the info I was given to the GPG.

Oh come on.Only an idiot or a canadian thinks that Bennett is off now.

Update on the OS. It sounds like Bennett has agreed to join, but just not signed the paperwork.

because he can get 1 months pay from the PFA (i think i read this somewhere on here?) so he'll probably sign on August 1st.

I read this too. The only thing that I was wondering was if it were true why don't all the players that are out of contract do it or do they?

 

[jharvey85]

Well if it's up on the OS, then he can't back out!!

 

[Pattaya Bee]

Fair play to the club, they're telling us he's ours without actually telling us

 

[sussexb]

Depends on the relative value of the contracts is my guess. If your new contract is higher than your old, it makes no sense to take the redundancy month. But if, like Bennett, your old contract is higher (probably quite a bit higher) then it makes sense not to lose the money.

 

[GEOFFBEE]

I am encouraged by this.
But still a bit worried...

and do your new club a favour.

That too! Although I doubt that's AB's reasoning....

 

[Stanley]

Wasn't he on 5k per week with Reading or somethink like that, on the basis we are paying significantly less than half of that you can see why a month of Reading pay is worth it to him.

He's probably just getting himself fit for when he signs for Sarfend in August lol

A 'spectacularly odd' (copyright Keep It Tght Brentford) one then.

 

[Trandy]

I completely understand why Mr Bennett has not signed until Aug 1st with the extra money from his old contract. However, what happens if he breaks a leg during a pre-season game or training? Is he insured? Will Brentford take him on?
