Interesting piece here on Exeter
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56845997


That’s all well and good, but there’s also the issue of Exeter being miles away from the rest of the country. Logistical issues might limit who they attract, whereas Burslem, despite being less seasidey than Exeter, is slap bang in the middle of a large proportion of the teams in the league.

Vale are in a good position for Manchester and Birmingham commuting. I think that's why so many players end up living at Wychwood Park. Having been based just outside Exeter a bit in my late teen and early 20s if I didn't have family in Stoke I know where I would go IF I was going to relocate. Exeter is just a nice area to be.

Mal Benning leaving Mansfield. Already being linked on Twitter due to his Flitcroft association.

Good age and loads of experience, and would be the first specialist left-back since Dicko. Will be bigger clubs hovering around too, so hope Flitcroft can pull strings.

You tend to find that managers bring in a few tried and trusted players from their previous clubs. Would expect this to happen alongside a few off the radar signings. I suppose the $64,000 question is how many get released. Does anyone know the date that happens ?

Would be a top signing Benning. Imagine replacing Fitz with someone of his calibre and let him and Monty fight it out for the starting LB spot.

Wonder if Flitcroft has done the deal hence he’s announced he is off? Interesting to see. Their fans are gutted he is off.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him rock up here and from what i remember i think he is very pacy,would spell the end for monty imo but at 27 a good age,i do see us chasing younger players than that though

Would absolutely love Benning. An upgrade on Monty in my opinion. Excellent set-pieces and crosses plus knows how to defend. One of the best LB's in L2. 

I would be very surprised if there is not interest in him from L1.

I thought Monty would have been kept on as a backup for LB/LM/LWB if the price was right AND he was happy as backup.
