Kieran. 6,317 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 No player has benefited from this preseason more than Benayoun. Good on you, Yossi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham Broadway 17,332 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Well i'm fucked off -used to be Ian Hutchinsons number.Back to Benayoun -can be a force for good, lively and inject pace when he comes on. Could also be the life saving conduit for Fernando the Wonderhorse. However, what he is not, is the panacea for all the ills. He had some pony games for the dippers, which was why they were happy to offload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could also be the life saving conduit for Fernando the Wonderhorse. However, what he is not, is the panacea for all the ills. He had some pony games for the dippers, which was why they were happy to offload.Benitiz didn't rate him as a starter and told him to leave. He also told Alonso he could go too. So, yeah, sometimes Benitiz wasn't so great on judging players. He also had very strained relationships with a lot of his players. Carragher and Gerrard didn't shed any tears over his departure and were happy to see him replaced with Hodgson. In other words, Benayoun's departure wasn't so cut and dry over his form. You're right that he's not going to be Chelsea's savior. For a big club fighting over at least 4 trophies, I don't think you can really pinpoint one player to lead the charge anyhow. But Benayoun will be a great squad player who can alternate between starting and subbing. His skills will unlock a few games. It's also why I don't think the argument that Modric and Pastore aren't needed because Yossi will do the job. No, he can help but in today's football, you can't rely on one player for the entire season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember groaning when he came on against us as a sub, as he would energise the rest of the Liverpool players and upset the man marking. Equally there were times when he ranged between anonymity to wastefully giving the ball away. Overall as you say good squad player albeit for a short time. To me I would have him and Kalou on the bench every game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodojojo 510 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Well with word now that Pastore is joining PSG, Chelsea may more reliant on Yossi to play creative mid. Would have loved Yossi/Pastore/Modric as the passing/creative spine but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest justin_3d Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Ridiculous since he is much better then some of the jokers that started today's match! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 31 years old...If we have to get rid of him, in order for this Modric deal to go through then fair enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 The rumour Mata gets the number 10 shirt, should he sign, also gives this a bit more fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BosnianLion 232 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 What a sexy lineup we'll have with the M&M boys in there.. if only Torres would get it going but I'm sure they'll help that somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZanSnake 1,211 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Hope we have a replacement squad member in mind instead, or that AVB thinks he can use a certain youth player in that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I would rather keep Yossi but if that's the only way to get Luka and with Mata on his way then alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldo 868 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 Hope we have a replacement squad member in mind instead, or that AVB thinks he can use a certain youth player in that role.Imo even if he stays he won't play that much. Better use Josh to do that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 The rumour Mata gets the number 10 shirt, should he sign, also gives this a bit more fuel.Benayoun could just as easily switch to another number. That rumour proves nothing IMO.This transfer (if true) doesn't make sense in a technical terms. We need more creativity, not less. What's the point in getting one creative player and letting another go? Not that they're similar players, but variety is what you need. Squad rules about over-21 foreign players is the only situation that make me understand this news to some degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duppy Conqueror 1,543 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 31 years old...If we have to get rid of him, in order for this Modric deal to go through then fair enough.if that`s the case then yeah i guess it is..just like when Matic went so we could get Luiz. i do wish it was one of Kalou,Malouda or Anelka instead tho..6 forwards, somebody out of those need to go if we adding more in the form of Mata.
