    talkSPORT understands that Notts County have put in a bid of £150,000 for Charlton striker Paul Benson.
    The former Dagenham And Redbridge hit-man scored ten goals in 43 appearances last season for the Addicks.

    And it appears the Magpies, who narrowly avoided relegation to League Two, are keen to snap up the centre forward to bolster their attack for the forthcoming season.

    For those who can't be bothered with the link.

    I'd only let him go if we had someone better and lined up to sign, which I don't think we have.

    Thought it was McOxo that tweeted he'd rejected a move not Benson

    Would hate to sell benno. IMO he gets some harsh treatment.

    With greens deliverys he WILL score us bundles of goals

    The guy who reported it is a Notts County fan so the rumour may have some legs

    Selling Benno would be a mistake and this one WOULD come back to haunt us

    I hope Benno isn't off, an under-rated player in my opinion if played to his strengths

    That's why he just scored obviously

    Shortage of strikers aside it would be a mistake to let him go. He's got a lot to offer us

    I like Benson. Dont want him to go at all. He got loads of stick last year for no good reason at all. I think he will do really well this year with the service from the new and improved midfield.

    BBC Nottingham are reporting that the bid has been accepted but I just think Benson will stay and fight for his spot. Be interesting to see how he reacts if he does stay.

    It's OK.  Cawley says there is something in it so most likely not happening then : - )

    Definitely something in Notts County interest in #cafc striker Paul Benson. Just trying to find out more now.

    I will be annoyed if he leaves, think he could play a key part in our team this season

    Rumours suggesting bid accepted.

    Am surprised to be honest

    Perhaps the budget is tighter than we were starting to believe ?

    But if we sell him we still need to get two new strikers so overall it will be more expensive especially if we are looking at strikers with the quality to get us promoted.

    To my mind it shows how tight Powell's budget is.

    We've signed a lot of players but we've released almost as many and some of those (Racon, Jose, Semedo) were on £1m pa wages.

    I think it's sell or move on before you can buy more.   We've seen deals for Francis and McCormack fall thru and perhaps that explains why no other signings in past two weeks.

    Shame to see Benno go if true.  Not the greatest but notched up a few goals in a dysfunctional side last year and always worked hard, often on his own or in the wrong role ie leading the line.

    No big deal selling at this time tbh, With the signing of Hayes as the link up and BWP as first choice benno was never going to start, i expect a new striker in soon, chill ya beans folks
