Yossi Benayoun

[We Hate Scouse 10,326]

lmao.. i bet you lot are having a good laugh over this, because only a united fan could be happy with benayoun signing.

Christ I'm a United fan now, thought I'd never see the day. Although I do live in London so I suppose it's understandable.

[Steve 10,227]

I must be the only one here that is very happy with his arrival!

Im with you mate. I think he will do well for us. He has my full backing. Why is every one still hating on him. He is a Chelsea player now so support him, there is nothing anyone can do about it...

always liked yossi as a player.he has pat nevin hips

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Good player: yes.

Consitent performer: no.

Chelsea first team regular: doubt it.

I see Yossi as the Deco replacement, and would be mostly likely brought in to add more depth in the midfeild rotation. I think Carlo has a set plan for next season, and i am pleased that we do have a manager that has set out plans for the club and will work towards the greater good for the club. After Scolari, i think that having botha plan and a second plan is the best way forward, and using youth players and getting and gaining experience players can balance a level which is beneficial for the team and the future.

Mods - do your job? I guess those who are so anti-Benayoun/anti-Jewish also want Abramovic to leave? Its pathetic.

Benayoun has done really well for Liverpool over the last two years and has something that we don't have in our squad. I don't expect him to be a regular starter unless he proves himself, and therefore, as a squad player, he's a good addition. Good luck Yossi.

People who are posting anti-Semite remarks are an absolute disgrace. How can a person's faith make a difference? Anyone who posts anything anti-Semite will be banned; no suspensions or warns, just simply a permanent ban. I won't tolerate it.

I just think everyone should take a good read of what Toft said. We must take faith in what Carlo does for this club. FFS he won us the title and the FA Cup in his first season...something Mourinho never did with us.

Everyone here believes that Benayoun won't be a regular starter, so that gives you an incentive that we have a whole 2 months to bring in a couple more players, which is what Toft rightly pointed out. Hopefully one of them will be Sergio Aguero.

God bless Scandinavians

[Aesthetic Relic 301]

Like any player coming in he'll get my support.

He's the sort of player who can come off the bench and make an immediate impact. I dont think he'll be a regular starter. He'll be a decent addition to the squad.

[James 5,287]

Always rated Benayoun, will be a good squad player. Not the most talented, always gives100% and never stops running abit like Ji Sung Park at Man Utd.

for fuck sake we could have had silva ozil shweinstiger aguero hamsik or toure but instead our only signing so far is benayoun lmao .......

Its not a game of football manager get in the real world.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Someone with his work rate is a welcome addition to the squad as far as I'm concerned. As Jim says, he probably won't start most matches but he's a quality player to come off the bench and offer a bit of quality in the final third. I rated him when he was at West Ham and over the last three years at Liverpool he has matured into a very decent player indeed. Plus he is the only player in history to score an FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League hat-tricks!

People are acting like he's a cunt or something, I'm glad we've signed someone for one, and I think a couple more are to follow next week, this is the first of more good things, I didn't want Carlo to be our manager but look how that turned out, welcome Yossi

[chrismada9 1,948]

Just reminding people how good he can be...

[Laylabelle 9,534]

Yeh he's old but meh.Experince always needed etc

Carlo knows what he's doing doubt he'd done this one out of boredom or whatever..and by the sounds been planned while rafa was there anway

Welcome

[Blueboy 14]

Mmm, not too enthousiastic about his signing. But he deserves a chance to prove himself and after all he is part of Chelsea now, so deserves my backing. Just hoping it doesn't affect the chances of our youngsters for next season.
