If we sold Bennett surely City would be cutting it short for us at left back then??? Cant see it happening.Like others have said theres other player/positions we need to shift.

Players are in demand from all clubs, look at Liverpool and Coutinho.

Can't see it affecting the feel good factor and he hasnt even been sold yet.

Id be gutted if he left, always rated him.

It wouldn't surprise me if he did go though as I think Warnock would pick up a more defensive full back.

Fulham have matched the 2million release clause, Bennett wants to stay with us though! Warnock has a replacement lined up if Bennett chooses to leave us! Down to player

Has anyone asked if Bennet has 'requested' or has a personal reason for leaving Cardiff? :?

I've been away for a few days and this has come as a surprise (as I'm sure it has to others) as I would have thought Joe would be an integral part of the jig-saw for us this season

However, as we know all too well, every player has his price and it may be that Neil Warnock (in the words of Mauricio Pochettino) "Nobody will be leaving this club unless I am happy for them to do so!" ;)

I guess (as usual) time will tell! :thumbup: :ayatollah:

Does Callum Paterson play on the same side as Bennett??

Yes, but we still need at least two for each position as it's a long season and anything can happen. Patterson has been out a very long time and the EFL will be very different to the SPL so I think he'll need time to bed in.

I really like Bennett and I hope he's happy here & Warnock is of the same stance as he was when Morrison was the subject of a bid from a rival Championship team. We should we strengthen the team of a rival for the playoffs this season?!

Norms, you're right there, i.e. we need two in each position! :thumbup: :ayatollah:

It does seem an odd one IF it were to happen; hence my question "Are we missing something?" :? :(

You're right, he's a right back as a rule but can play on the left too.

Why the hell is he only on a 2 million release clause? Get him to sign a new contract with a much higher release clause asap! I will feel physically sick if Fulham bring in Bennett for two fifths of the price they sold Scott Malone!

Re: CONFIRMED:FULHAM IN TALKS WITH CARDIFF OVER JOE BENNETT

Warnock is stupid to let bennet go to Fulham I for one will be gutted. I think he is a crucial part of us gaining promotion.

So is Coutinho apparently.

I hope you're right. Although proved we can cope without him.

Chris Hughton watching Zohore is more concerning to me. But Warnock would resign before he lets Zohore leave i reckon, so fingers crossed he stays put

We can't hold onto players who have release clauses. Sometimes it's the only way they will sign.

It's up to the player if the release clause is met.

I've heard rumours that Fulham have matched the release clause, but that Bennett doesn't want to leave Cardiff. Only rumours though, of course

It a true the clause is 2m and Fulham have agreed it! Joe wants to stay his agent is pushing the deal though! As Warnock has now confirmed it's up to Joe our hands are tied! Well done Trollope and the previous transfer committee!!!

The replacement is lined up if Joe leaves, a player from league 1

Tell them to keep their nose out simples.

Re: BREAKING WARNOCK CONFIRMS BENNETT/NOW UP TO BENNETT

Tue Aug 15, 2017 9:33 pm

As a release clause has been mentioned, I'd be amazed if it's near £2m, never mind over it.
Also, as mentioned above if Fulham have sold Malone for £5m, then it's highly unlikely they are going to fork out anywhere near on a replacement.
Crazy world, this transfer malarchy though and for what it's worth I think Bennett is as good if not better than Malone.
Hopefully tonight's results will have tipped it in our favour :thumbup:

To be fair if this is true. I'd trust Warnock's judgement on the new player. Look at NML from League 1.

Cash in. Play jazz there for now. More than able replacement. Cameron Coxe in reserve too. Worthy of a chance after his pre season.

Wouldn't be the biggest loss. We can replace a left back.
