Hopefully that means that they have contacted us and the 'talks' have been something like this -
F - Any chance of signing JB?
C - Only if you offer us £5M
End of conversation

I'd take 5m. Got jazz who can play there. And Cameron Coxe as back up.

Reinvest the 5m elsewhere.

Although be happier if we kept him. He seems happy and up for this season.

I sort of agree with you but I've just realised that they sold Malone for £5M so Bennett has to be worth at least that figure

I'd prefer to keep him. I think he has been great. That said. If they come in with a reasonable whack of cash we can at least cover him. Jazz is quality. We have the new lad to come in and Connolly won't let us down. Pelts is fearless. We may not have a left sided specialist but we would have cover.
It's not a fair comparison with Morrison. It's probably a bit easier to get a solid full back but a player of Morrisons skill and influence is a bit harder for the money.

But I'd rather he stay.

To be honest Sky are hopeless when it comes to transfer 'rumours', they prob seen some random tweet and jumped on it, it's pretty much how it works these days. As for Bennett he's firmly in NW plans, Fulham won't offer anywhere near enough to turn our heads

Joe wants to be here, that's clear to see. He loves playing for Cardiff. I'd like him to stay
