What a stupid swap.

Wigan fans think he’s crap and he’s 33 in a month.

I know many don’t rate Harris as an out and out striker, but he looks handy coming inside from behind the striker and is 24.

Not sure what he is like now but I really rated Bennett when he was here, would be good back up if we brought in another left back. Not keen on sparky going though, think he has something to offer as an impact sub

Sparky going depends on what we have coming in

If we have indeed signed the lad from West Ham and he’s that good, they will be In comparable positions wide. If we have strikers coming in I can also see Robinson and odowda wide

He’s not crap. We know that from his time here. If it’s to the end of the season he is better than Neils was and bagan. That will allow odowda to play in a more effective position for us.

Bennett/Harris swap between Cardiff & Wigan not guaranteed. Swap deals hard to do. Maybe something to do with Sol Bamba’s return but Callum Paterson at Sheff Weds has also cropped up in conversations. Jan deadline day a bizarre time for struggling clubs

Cant get in the Wigan team that or he's injured all the time.

He’s had an ACL and aged 2 years since we saw him play last.

I wasn't a Bennett fan. Nice on the eye but ALOT of goals came down his side!!

Only downside to Harris is the end product, you cant questions his effort and determination. End product can be worked on

Not for me sorry but why ship Harris out unless someone is imminent.

Not at 24/25 it can’t.

He’s no youngster now.

Surely we could find another left back rather than a slow 33 year old need a cody dremhan type young and hungry to play

Give Ledley a shout at the same time, both of them would show the lads what the passion for the club looks like :ayatollah:

If it means odowda can play left wing then I'm all for it , Bennett will give 100% and us an experienced championship defender.

I’d take Gary & Dave

Would welcome the return but surely not swapping for Sparky... :shock:

If we want to rely on harris in attack we will go down, glad hes off personally. Hopefully bennett can do a job to see us clear of the drop
