"We spoke to Ben (Greenhalgh), at the minute weve said to him come back in pre-season. I think he still has a bit to prove to us, another one who has massive amounts of ability.
"Hopefully we can get a good pre-season behind us, he can show people what he really can do instead of it being in flashes and a bit more consistent. We know if we can get that weve got another decent player on our hands."
Loved this, Ben is massively talented but you always felt he was only here training and keeping fit in his mind. He needs to sign and commit to us, realise hes a Welling player if he does and then get his head down under Jamie and the coaches, he WILL develop, be consistant and he will get a move. He has to get his head sorted and get motivated. We have all seen he has the ability.

I hope he signs hes a big player when he is at it, Havant game as an example. When hes confident and focused he expresses himself and plays for the team and is something for other teams to worry about.

Couldn't agree more. I got the feeling that he thought he was better than us but if he realises that at this stage of his career he's not and commits himself then he will succeed.
I thought that I was Cynical Ben needs lots of coaching to get into the Welling way. He might have been the bees knees at some foreign place, but now he is with us. Settle down, listen and learn - you might then go a long way.
His ball delivery is way above BSBS standard, the rest of his game will come together under Jamie and the coaches. Some of the balls he put in last season were just on a sixpence.
Hes young, ambitious and maybe had his head turned with the inter milan stuff. for me hes lost a bit of confidence in taking on men, when his confidence comes and his game gels then he will be one hell of a player, for his development ..... signing for a season is the best thing he will ever do, Loick, Pughy and Parky were all scouted and got moves. Ben has the potemtial to go higher faster.
Or he can go and have trials everywhere or "keep fit" with teams.

There is no doubt that he has bags of talent and I'm surprised that people question his attitude. He needs games under his belt to really progress and I agree that a season at one club would be his best way of building up a reputation.
Whether he chooses this route or is swayed by his advisors / agents to look elsewhere remains to be seen but I would not be worried if I saw he was in the Welling starting line up.
