    Re: Harley Bennell Out indefinitely

    How much do we all know about him?

    There's some fairly disparaging and cheap insinuations in this thread. We can do better.

    Agree, this is a bit ordinary . Baseless assertions

    Given his injury concerns it can't be as easy as that though.

    Then there is the likes of Dayle Garlett who had plenty of talent but most clubs still stayed away from him for 2 years.

    True there is more to picking a player than just talent. I am just an outsider observing that Bennell can play football and very well. On his day, he is an A Grader.

    You asked me why I was interested in him and I just gave you an outsiders view. I didn't really know about his calf issues throughout his career until I read an article the other day. As far as drugs are concerned, we don't know what he does in his private life (other than something he did 3 years ago as a very young lad), so we shouldn't be commenting on it.

    Done his calf for the 84th time. Unknown when back. Me thinks it’s getting close to being over.
