From the OS - Looks like Benny's back in Training

[SandroClegane]

If you look through the training pics from today, BAE has returned to training with the squad, this is very good news. Can't wait to see Jan moved back to CB.

Agreed, a settled back four for the second half of the season will be good news.

 

[SheffieldAndy]

Yep agree with both of you, a settled back four all played in their preferred/best positions will be great.

 

[Flightrisker]

Please score soon Tommy....

 

[Flightrisker]

Actually, never score, the afro is awesome!

Tom's fro can already be knitted into a spare jumper for those cold morning training sessions

I think after January we'll have to name Tom's 'fro in our 25 man squad.

Benny may allow Verts to play CB but he is not a good left back IMO.

Both he and Verts at left back are much the same, have defensive lapses that cannot be sustained by a team challenging for the top of the PL.

Benny's return won't strengthen us and will likely mean Caulker drops out and I don't see that as a plus at all.

I disagree, I think benny is calm on the ball, works hard getting forward, can cross, shoot and generally is a massive asset to the team, i would put him in with the best left backs in the league, with only Cole and Baines being ahead of him in my opinion. Will be great to have him back, will also mean Verts can have a bit of a rest if need be before returning to the middle where I think he belongs.

It will be great to have Benny back we have missed him, it also means we can play Jan in his best posistion.

 

[theShiznit]

One of the best 2-3 passers at the club, and for a fullback that is priceless.

You clearly have never watched Patrick Evra play for Man Utd. A team challenging for the top of the PL.

 

[Blackcanary]

I didn't particularly rate him, until we didn't have him and then I accepted his awesomeness. Welcome back Benny!

And Tom's 'fro is officially ridiculous. I can't look at him without laughing. That thing is now bigger than Tom Carroll.

 

[mattdefoe]

Jan bringing the ball out of defence through the middle is going to be splendid !!

 

[Grey Fox]

Not sure why Tom's fro is in this post, but I didn't think this would be possible, but I am sure the extra weight is making him look even slower.

 

[felmani26]

Benny coming back can only be construed as a massive positive.

 

[Mr Pink]

massive boost....

Jan is going to be a legend of this club, if he stays I think he can be as good as our Ledley.

 

[mark87]

Will love to see him back at LB so we can see Verts and Caulker form a CB partnership, I hope that will also be the case too and not drop Caulker and play Gallas with Verts at CB instead.

 

[theShiznit]

Looks like injury has made him double hard too, as he's turned up to training in pants and socks... While everyone else is balaclavad up.
