Screw him, he moved from our bench to their bench. I think Roy gave it the all clear and intends to use some of our ressies 🙂
 
To be fair he was often treated like shit, scoring a couple - and benched the next game. He was a very tidy player. Sad to see him go.

Good player, did some good stuff for us, wish he was still on our bench, but his agent was always spouting in the media about him moving, and his loyalty was questionable. as a result, glad he's gone. we can do better.

We have Pacheco coming through so I'm not too bothered.
[/quote]

Different types of player. Pacheco's a striker - he's not going to play wide or track back to the same extent. I like what little I've seen of him but he's not a replacement for Yossi.
[/quote]

Pacheco's more of a number 10 type player, just as Yossi is to be fair, he was never a winger.
 
I couldn't give a shit apart from wondering whether the cash will be added to Roy's kitty.

Will be interesting to see the calibre of Roy's first signings. I see we we linked with Turan again today

He doesnt like Yossi?
 
Well..

i might be one of the very few here but im kinda happy he has gone..

Often vanishes during games.. always takes on 1 too many defenders in decent positions... lightweight... shit shit shit tackler... average speed... Average in the air.... more importantly.. VERY difficult to fit into any formation.

i appreciate his goals and commitment while he was here.. but in truth he shouldnt be anywhere near our starting 11.

what's your point.. Djimi Traore has a Champions league winners Medal. Phil Neville has several Premier League Medals..

If we were willing to pay Yossi, a 30 year old bench warmer 70k a week id literally drop dead.

Just because Chelsea signed him doesnt make him a world beater.
 
NOt a world beater, but he was a creative player in a team which had very little creativity.

Will be interesting to see who replaces him, if he is replaced.

But if he isnt, I do think we'll wish we had.
 
I prefered Garcia..

His looks would make it far easier for me to convince my Girlfriend to watch the Football...

last season...

Me - 'i have football recorded.. want to watch it?'.
her - ' hmm, is Torres playing?
Me - ' no he is injured- again'
Her - 'Alonso, Garcia, Gonzales, Aurellio are no longer there are they?'
me - ' Aurellio is also injured...but.. ummm...no.. but we have Lucas, Mascherano, Benayoun and Kuyt playing'
her - 'urgh.. no thanks'

So.. because of the ugly nature of our squad i was forced to watch the game at night or make her angry - which meant no loving..

We need to get more attractive players!
 
The Israel international, who spent three years at Anfield, has signed a £75,000-a-week contract that will keep him at Stamford Bridge until 2013.

Benayoun had been unsettled at Anfield for much of last season after seeing a move to Russia collapse, and the two clubs agreed a fee last week.

It is believed Liverpool, who are £237 million in debt to the Royal Bank of Scotland, asked Chelsea to pay the final month of the player’s salary before allowing the deal to go through.

a ruthless cull of the players who depress me by their presence in the team. we need to stop worrying about next season and just take vengence for the previous one. punish them all make them all pay.

then even if there are only 20 people left here, at least all of them will know that it isn't a joke anymore.

I don't. It isn't Yossi's fault he was misused by Rafa. He caused us plenty of trouble for the Hammers and I've an uneasy feeling he may do again now.

Time to revise my Yossi song I guess.

To the tune of Walking On The Moon by The Police

When Chelsea called he went their way
Yossi Benayoun
I don't know why, he'll hardly play
Yossi Benayoun
But I guess they just sold Joe Cole
That has left some room
For someone to play in the hole
Yossi yeah, Yossi Benayoun

Some, might say
He's just a squaddie anyway, he's okay
But he's no Steve Heighway, on his day
He might put a chance away, but some days
He won't even play

(Bow wow wow . . . dum doo doo)

[/quote]

Quality.
 
Our squad will miss a player like Yossi, but if this means we get to see our 'Starlets' used more in competitive competition then I can live with it.

All the best Yossi, thank you for that last minute winner at Fulham. That goal made me scream and jump around like a fucking deranged mad man.
 
[quote author=Skullflower link=topic=40829.msg1130486#msg1130486 date=1278161583]
sky reckon we got 5 mill which is far too little in my eyes. it's a very odd transfer.
[/quote]

It's odd - we heard our resident genius pundit, Brendan, slam Yossi non-stop. And now a manager he's complimented, who also manages the best team in England, just signed him for less than what he's worth. We just lost a very good bench option. Oh well, I just hope we replace him with someone as capable as him (doubtful for that price) or that Pacheco can take his spot.

And to Yossi - thanks for Real Madrid, Fulham and the other goals. And I do hope your new team crashes and burns.

I think your girlfriend might be a little bit loopy mate, no offense, but Dirk Kuyt makes all the ladies hot and bothered.
