Yossi Benayoun

[HNKS 508]

Think we should keep him. You never know with a few injuries we would be in dire need of attacking options and creativity.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

If RDM feels Yossi has a useful role in the club then I will not question his judgement.Personally I too feel he can be a great squad player for us and link up well with his former Liverpool team mate Torres.

Looks like Yossi is going to rise from the scapegoat sub's bench now Kalou has gone.

Just goes to show that every team or maybe in Chelsea's case that us fans need a scapegoat everytime.

BENAYOUN BACK TO IMPRESS

I hope he plays but i don't know how he'll achieve it. I've always liked him and i still think he has something to offer. Forget his age, he still plays like he's 28 imo and i still think he's quality. Regardless of us winning the FA Cup & Champions League or not, we missed him last season i think, especially in the league when our players were nakered. His loan to Arsenal was so stupid.

Still smacking my head after I remind myself we loaned him to Arsenal...

Benayoun to impress Di Matteo

"Now I am back at Chelsea for pre-season, the hard part of football, and I'm trying to do my best in front of Robbie, so we will just have to see what happens in the future," Benayoun told the club's official website.

I supported the signing at the time, but with Hazard, Mata and Oscar all younger and more versatile, I would say he is surplus to requirements and a player who is only taking up a non-British slot in our squad.

British slot? I though it was English slot not British. Well, looks like I'm wrong, because I just realised there are Welsh clubs in the Premier League.

"A lot has happened since I was last here. Unfortunately it didn't work out with Andre Villas-Boas, results weren't good enough but Robbie took the team, and we won the FA Cup and Champions League. I kept in touch and it was just great to see the club winning these trophies."

i know that he was under contract with us, but that doesn't sound right

[Ollie 4,400]

Yeah does look weird. He shoulda said "They won the FA Cup and Champions League" And we won nothing again. And i agree with Alex although i like him, i just can't see how we can play him. I hope he goes somewhere where he'll be appreciated who play good football. He's still a very good player.

[BleedsBlue 1,549]

Deserves a chance but I am not sure he will be able to get too many as we have and are looking to sign some exciting young midfielders.

[Kieran. 6,317]

Can't hurt having a quality, experienced midfielder on the bench. Can play on the wings too.

Keeping him is a good idea, imo.

[YuriZhirkov 106]

One of Malouda and Benayoun needs to leave and I really hope its Florent.
