Benayoun Out

[Pablo]

What has Yossi done exactly?

Sulked like a baby because he wasn't guaranteed a start.

Demanded a transfer so he could get first team football.

Left for a team where he has ZERO chance of starting.

Did he, or is that all media guess work?

Did he, or is that all media guess work?

First point was widely speculated.

Second point is prettty common knowledge.

Third point is absolute fact.

I liked Yossi, he will be missed.

[Fernandinho]

me too, always liked him more then most people because he had that special touch

Well that's the press for you... Even after Rafa has gone they still stick the knife in... I wouldn't be at all surprised if Benny actually put in a transfer request, hence the low value, because he was worth more than 5.5 million (if that was the fee)

It's easy to blame the press but the stink is coming from within the club, no points for guessing what that source is.

cant see him getting in the chelsea team but fair enough to him. he chipped in a lot and at the end of the season before last was fantastic. good luck to him

benni out arda in plz

Bye Yossi. Bye.

As Carragher pointed out recently - We don't want players here who don't want to play for Liverpool Football Club. Yossi obviously had his head turned and this was the inevitable outcome, but we are LFC and we will continue moving forwards without him.

Personally, I'd have preferred he stayed as I don't think we can replace him with someone of the equivalent quality for the alledged £5.5m. I liked Yossi, unpredictable, would dribble at players, he had that ability to come up with very important goals for us even if we werent playing well.

Good luck Yossi, thanks for the memories. Dont understand the move myself but hey!!!

Agree with above, would love to see Turan as a replacement although, it would take up some additional transfer funds on top of the said £5.5m - maybe £5-£7M on top?? Maybe more?

Thank you for your service to the club, Yossi. YNWA.

Good quality squad player. I'll miss him but the life goes on.

Thanks for the good memories Benny.

Hopefully we have seen the best of him..

Sha'lom Yossi.

Benayoun told Chelsea's website: "I am very excited to come to a club like Chelsea, it is a big club and I think it is a dream for every player."

Benayoun joined from West Ham in 2007 and scored 29 goals in 134 games.
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti said: "We are happy to have this new player. Yossi has a lot of quality in midfield and can play in lots of positions. I like his behaviour on the pitch and he will do a great job for us next season."

This obviously means soon to be arab owners.

Can't say I'm too upset about him going apart from his behaviour in so doing. I think he was pretty marginal when it came to starting. He had good moments, but had we more money, we'd never have signed him in the first place. He did a job, meh.

But like others - so long as we get the money to spend on players.
