Elliot Benyon?
ok so my opinion on Benyons completely ridiculous.... there is a reason he is 8th choice at southend, but its cool you guys live off the start of the 2010-11 season. Wake up and smell the coffee he has gone down hill quicker than Portsmouth Fc

I don't think our situation is as bad as some think. We'll never have big money to spend, but we seem to have had a knack for finding either young players with potential or older players who have recovered their form and earlier promise after coming to Plainmoor and done a job for us. And we're having the foundations in place on which to build a stable and successful future for the club, with homegrown talent and, hopefully, a decent scouting network to find the talented bargain players. It's already beginning to happen, and will gradually build up momentum. We must be patient for a season or two. Any kind of success that comes in the meantime will be a pleasant and perhaps not unexpected bonus; I believe we are still in with a shout for the play-offs at least...

Means nothing at Elliot's age. I can think of a striker who was at his lowest playing for Torquay and now is smashing them in for a championship side.lankyben wrote:ok so my opinion on Benyons completely ridiculous.... there is a reason he is 8th choice at southend, but its cool you guys live off the start of the 2010-11 season.

I'd think about taking Benners purely due the lack of anything tangible ( other than Logan ) happening at the club at the moment. He certainly knew where the net was but like someone else said, i think we need a different kind of attacker and not another small nippy poacher. I liked Benners apart from the fact he would spend 25 minutes of a game sat on his backside but we need something different at this moment in time so for me it's a no even if we don't bring anyone in at all.
Strangely enough it was Pope Gregory the 9th inviting me for drinks aboard his steam yacht, the saucy sue currently wintering in montego bay with the England cricket team and the Balanese Goddess of plenty.
Andy......please don't say you have bucked the trend and moved on from 2010-11 season. we're a dying bread in the torquay crowd 
. shall I start a bring back Ed Palmer thread for nostalgia?

the marquee name of 2010-11
in all seriousness though.... my opinion is that I would rather sign logan than Benyon. logan will work harder and do a atieno-esque role. i.e playing the odd game when Rene's suspended or has a knock.

Well, this seems to confirm that we were interested in bringing him back but that it may no longer happen!
