Heard from a coach at Wolves that Bennett was let go as there’s genuine excitement about Otasowie and Richards coming through the academy.

Otasowie wanted more chance of first team minutes before signing a new contract.

Bennett and Coady are good mates soni find that hars to believe, Otasowie has been tracked by some of the big clubs in Europe, he is earmarked for a big future, so maybe a bit of truth in that maybe.
I liked Bennett, good character around the team.

Just thinking aloud here - Would Nuno allow or want that kind of attitude from Owen Otasowie? it was because of stuff like that Fergie got rid of Pogba. And he thus far has been proven right by that decision.
Putting my hand out to be slapped here, feel free to correct me.

{Ed001's Note - Fergie never got rid of Pogba, Pogba refused to join Ferguson's son's agency and instead signed with Mino Raiola. That was why Fergie refused to pick him and that was why he left on a free of his own choice.}

To be honest guys I think with Benno its a case of sometimes the obvious answer being the actual answer. As in I think he probs got wind of Lec looking for an experienced CB and saw a good opportunity. Nuno has said that he left cause he wanted to go and not sure I blame him. Seeing a back three of CMF start in front of you can't be easy as an experienced CB! Not saying its on the club cause Nunos the one picking the team and that's that but I think that's why he left.
As for Otasowie the guys a giant and looks technically great to boot and like others I remember him being tracked by some of the big boys. Thing is if the club had wanted to push him forward they could have by now, these last couple of months we've loads of youngsters on that bench and think I've only seen him once. Be good to see more mind, I trust Nuno will know when the times right COYW ;)

Thanks for clearing that up Ed001 (I never knew that even happened)

{Ed001's Note - it happened a lot in that era. Allardyce was another one, he used to do the same at Bolton. You only got a deal if his son was your agent.}

Yeah, also famously why United paid a whopping £8.5m for Bebe, as it said in that fantastic Panorama episode (which I strongly recommend to any that haven't watched it) the signing on fee from Bebes transfer paid for Martin Fergusons house! It was also because of Panorama having the gaul to shine a light on this shameful behaviour that Fergy refused to do Beeb interviews! Its quite incredible and shocking in equal measure what goes on in this sport!

{Ed001's Note - ah Bebe! What a player he was....}

Haha indeed Ed! he was the knew Ronaldo just so long as you'd NEVER seen Ronaldo play! ;-D.

{Ed001's Note - or you got him mixed up with the Brazilian Ronaldo after his retirement and he had piled on loads of weight....}

🤣 I reckon I'd STILL sooner sign the Brazilian Ronaldo, least he new where the goal was! 😭.

{Ed001's Note - can't argue with that as I agree!}
