Benat

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Can anyone tell me please how much is the rumored price?

Well he has a 17m release clause.

Benat + Ba would be a wonderful window

[Blue Gino 377]

I like Benat a lot but feel the club invested heavily in Oscar to become the deep lying playmaker, which will probably happen next season.

didnt oscar mentioned this in an early interview?? not sure what exactly he said but something in the lines of this.

[Blue Gino 377]

I believe last year Eddie Newton talked about how Oscar was being groomed slowly for it but it wouldn't come immediately.

[Beepu 1,714]

yeah he definitely has the attributes

[DDA 9,690]

He does but look at how he plays for Brazil. He runs the show from deep but advances way too often to be deemed a deep lying playmaker. That's where he is best, in advanced positions.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

Oscar has almost everything benat has but since he has played as an AM all the time, he will always have a knack for going foward. That pivot needs positional discipline which will take a few matches for oscar to develop and I'm not sure how long a spell he will get there.

Beñat and Chelsea

Lots of rumours of a supposed interest of Chelsea for Beñat. His buy out clause is 20 million euros and Betis do not want to reduce a single penny of it as it will take them out of the pre-bankrupcy state they are in (they are in the hands of administrators). Wolfsburg tried to sign him in the summer but their offer was not accepted as it didn't reach the buy out clause

I am convinced he can go for around 12-15 millions euros.

The truth is that no offer has arrived from Chelsea and they have not approached the player. Sometimes a rumour about a possible interest comes from the club itself, it is a way of a saying he is for sale, and other clubs are interested.. so you better keep moving if you want him. Something like that is happening.

Athletic Bilbao have shown interest but are not willing to pay his buy out clause

Beñat reminds me of Arteta and he would add a lot to a club like Everton, even Swansea, Spurs... His talent distributing the ball from the centre of midfield makes up for his slight physique.

So no contact from Chelsea yet. Early days for the transfer window and I am sure we will hear more on this story in the next few days

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Benat and Fellaini? Now that's orgasmic.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Benat and Fellaini? Now that's orgasmic.

And imagine isco as well!

12-15m sounds about right but 20m is too much. On any account we seem to not have made any contact yet so it's too early to talk about fees.

[Severinb 309]

He is not playing for betis today! Not even on the bench...

[themightyblue 443]

He was suspended

[bluesman2610 1,341]

just watched him play full game vs. seville.. his passing from deep is madness.. if he is still on the list for the board i would love for this to happen

[Spike 12,049]

He has played some games this season where his pass completion was less than adequate. Hanging around 50%. Picks up a lot of yellows too.

[Stats 7,054]

Watching the game against Real Madrid. His long rang passing is excellent, Alons-esque. Been really impressed with what I have seen from him so far.

[JDY 1,290]

Inconsistent, indiscipline, has no defensive game. Classy on the ball, plays some show reel passes, and can deliver a mean set piece. Should steer clear unless a manager is brought in who can improve his game drastically.
