All the best to him. He deserves the best wishes of every Claret on the planet.

Let's hope he does well but I fear he will get the crap kicked out of him

Re: ARTICLE: Benson to Swansea confirmed
When he stuck that ball in at Ewood and then we had the rumours of AC Milan looking at him I'm not sure many of us would have envisaged him being sent on loan to a Championship side. So incredibly frustrating he hasn't been able to push on, hope he gets himself on track in Wales - he has so much ability

'Work rate on and off the ball'
He's pushing it there a bit isn't he. I'd say he's right up there with the poorest work rates I've ever seen in a Burnley shirt...and I'm a fan of his!

I love how Swansea City have a Global Head of Analytics and Recruitment.

If he can repeat what he did for us three years ago with Swansea then the Jack's are in for a treat, certainly my go to team to watch on Ifollow now. (IF HE IS FIT ENOUGH TO PLAY).

That run of pinging it in the top corner was mad. We were right behind the one at Rotherham, just felt inevitable for a while there.

Re: ARTICLE: Benson to Swansea confirmed
Him scoring four almost identical crackers in consecutive games was unreal. In the fourth game at Ashton Gate Bristol City crowded him with defenders to stop him doing it again and he just did it anyway. I think we got the very best out of him in 22/23. To have him in the side you need to be able to dominate, otherwise he’s likely to be a passenger. A marvellous entertainer who just isn’t up to it physically to make it at the highest level. I am sure that all Clarets fans wish him the very best at Swansea. He will certainly be a part of Burnley folklore.

Re: ARTICLE: Benson to Swansea confirmed
I thought I read that Burnley refused the loan to buy option, so I wonder if he is in our plan B should we go down.
Re: ARTICLE: Benson to Swansea confirmed
Not sure many Championship clubs could cover his wage. He'll be on a decent whack and a few years left yet.ollieclarets8 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 03, 2025 10:13 amI thought I read that Burnley refused the loan to buy option, so I wonder if he is in our plan B should we go down.
