    Was having a look on a Dagenham board this am and it would appear there was some sort of fans forum meeting last week. This was attended by John Still who, when asked advised that Charlton had made 4 offers for Benson and that the last was very close to their valuation.

    They were expecting another bid. Watch this space I guess.

    Gow would fit the Parky utility man mould. He can play wide as well. Looked ok at Blackpool but from what I recall had injury problems at Plymouth.

    Gow was very good for Blackpool 2 seasons ago, scored a few crackers and was then on the verge of joining Wolves as they were romping to the title in the Champ but failed a medical due to a dodgy knee (I think), not done a lot since but as said above would fit the utility tole. We could do worse but I do think we need more of an out and out striker and someone to cover Waggy.

    Getting Varney would be a mare, however good or bad he is in the championship.

    How quick is Benson?

    Rumours Dagenham way that Benson will be signing for us tomorrow for around £230k and they will sign Kandol as a replacement.

    230k for a league 2 player who is 30

    I would be very surprised if we shelled out anywhere near that

    230k was would ridiculous in our situation. He's not even proven at this level is he?

    Gow i would take, Varney i think would be worth another look at. £250k is too much for someone like Benson. as for Stern John, no thanks

    Thanks if genuine Steve123. RM has certainly been very forthcoming in the past. Nice to know Fortune fancies another spell but fitness levels and priorities elsewhere may mean it doesn't quite happen judging by Parky's recent comments.

    Re. Benson, it would represent a huge statemnt of backing for Parky who has done very well with signings to date, but without ever having seen Benson live I'd have reservations too about that fee for a 30 year old.

    Yeah Clem. At least one bod on that board is itk, so will be interesting to see any follow-up comments.
  • according to D & R people benson could be ours soon still not 100% sure


    Benno is very loyal to John Still so i reckon he will only leave if JS gives him the nod,


    but for me he is the wrong signing i would love to be proven wrong but i dont see where he fits i saw atleast 10 D&R games last year in which benno scored 3 times but in the games he didnt score you didnt even notice him playing


    please parky dont do it

    The club has been saying that for every week since he was injured, I reckon its still a while before he will be up for a 1st team game

    The Sun this morning says we are set to sign Benson. Depends how much we are offering i guess seeing as we supposedly had 3 bids turned down, or is it 4. He is 30 and not tested at this level. Is he fast? A poacher? A target man? I don't know anything about him. Hope he can produce the goals if we do sign him.

    a poacher/sniffer who can create his own chances and snap up any made for him.

    Not particularly fast but not slow according to someone who played with him.
  • he is a strange type of player, i would say not a poacher or a target man, he can be a good release as he certainly can hold the ball up although he is not particularly big and strong looking


    he scores some good goals and tap ins i dont see him any different to what we have sort of in between pawel and akpo


    not as tricky as Martin nor as quick
  • dagenham have yet to find the net this season in the league Benno hardly gets a mention in the notts county report

    i no its not a rumour but the striker we should go for is danny ward on loan from bolton.

    he looked quality last year for swindon and he can also pay on the wing and on ssn it said that bolton would be loaning him out again

    Just heard on radio that Rotherham have signed a Nigerian striker. Could that mean that ALF is on his way out?
