Title: Paul Benson
Post by: the washbag on Monday, January 2, 2012, 09:42:05
Now that STFC have signed Paul Benson - who may feature this afternoon against AFC Wimbledon - we ask whether Paolo Di Canio's long search for a 'nasty striker' is now over?

You'll have to wait and see like the rest of us.

That almost makes him sound like the 'second striker' that PDC has talked about. More like someone who would contend with Connell and Kerrooosh for a place alongside a big target man.

View from Charlton fan;

I think he’ll be good for you – an all rounder striker who does a bit of everything. Played most of his football in league 2 or below but was Dagenham and Redbridge’s star player when we bought him 2 years ago for £200k – will score goals but Powell doesn’t rate him and to be honest, he’s a mid / lower league 1 or league 2 player – will be good to score goals to get you up.

Looked like a great striker. His movement and judgements were top class against Wigan!

Just a bit nervous about his history with Barnet FC according to this interview...

The game is all about confidence, so I would put him on the bench
