January 2020 transfer window

I thought we might have been able to steal money off the B6 lot re Bennett like we did with Hause,surprised he's gone to Leicester
 
Bennett's only gone on loan until the end of the season.

Seems the deal includes a "if he plays x amount of games you have to buy him for £5m" and a set fee incase he doesn't play that many games but they still want to keep him
 
Bennett being allowed to go is not a surprise -he's not been featuring in the Matchday squad for a while & suspect that he won't unless we have a mass extinction. The team looking to take him is a bit though (having said that I have no idea what their squad is like so he may be filling a hole they have).

Been a good servant to us for no upfront cost - I will always give thanks to him for the Bristol moment (even if I didn't feel or notice the mass bruises on my shins till the next morning). Never significantly let us down & made the most of what he had
 
I tell you what, Skysports news are besotted with Man. Utd..

There are other clubs you know, Sky

Agree with this.

I know Nuno has said that Boly is fully fit to play now, but there is a scenario where he breaks down in his first game back, and if Dendonker then gets injured, what do we do?
Struggle, that's what we'd do.

It's a gamble.

Lets be honest, if any team loses 2 players from 1 position they are struggling and you are left moving players out of position or using a yoof. We were spoilt a little bit having Benno as an option but as we know if a player isn't happy then Nuno will move you on as quickly as he can. I would say Bennett requested a move a few backs and we pulled Sanderson out of a potential loan move and he is now the 3rd (or 4th as we could put Saiss there) choice in that position.

Bennett is (or was) 6th choice. Coady, Boly, Saiss, Dendoncker and Kilman are all ahead of him. The injuries line is growing a bit tired because it's the same with every squad in the league, with the exception of the top 2 who are light years ahead of the rest right now.

I really don't think that letting a defender leave who is 6th choice, rather than letting him sit on the bench at best (and he's not even been in the squad lately) is a gamble at all. Much better to give that bench-warming experience to one of the younger players from the U23s.

In terms of business, the squad atmosphere Nuno wants and also for Bennett's own career, it's a perfectly reasonable and sensible transfer.

Not really - as said any team losing 2 senior players from the first team in the same position will need to use players out of their usual position or the youth player.

Kilman & Saiss may prefer the left, but Saiss particularly is an experienced player at this (& International) level so should be able to cope.

We use 3 of those players every game. Dendonker is not a CB, he's a DM who has had to fill in, and can Kilman play on the right?

I'm not aware Bennett asked to leave or not, but good luck to him going to Leics., which I have already stated. However, by letting him go our cover at RCB has gone, as has our cover for CF now Cutrone has gone.

Wolves have weakened two important positions in this window and I have to say I'm concerned about the rest of this season.

I hope you are right Langers and my concerns end up being unfounded but this is not how I envisaged this window turning out.
 
I would guess at the moment Boly is first choice RCB and Saiss first choice LCB, with Dendoncker and Kilman as the backups

Tomorrow will probably bear this out
 
Boly and Donck will be the RCB options with Saiss and Kilman for LCB I imagine.
 
Well this is getting a bit weird all of a sudden

Wolves are closing in on the signing of Dagenham and Redbridge left-back Liam Gordon. #wwfc #daggers #dagenham

And Giles is apparently going back out to Salop?

Bennett has barely kicked a ball despite Boly being out, he probably wouldn't have made the bench between now and the end of the season with Boly back. He will only be a miss if we lose 3 of Coady, Boly, Saiss, Kilman and Dendoncker. Any team would be fucked if they lost 3 of their centre half options

We're lacking a LWB for the u23's with Kitolamo and Thompson gone so that makes sense.
 
Jordan Graham's also gone out to Gillingham

Deadline day mania
