So Chelsea lose a better player in Cole on a free and then pay 6mn for a lesser player, older too who probably won't play too many games? Smart move from chelsea that.
Benayoun: are Liverpool about to lose another one of their better players?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
That site is very anti-United.
If Cole wants 50k a week more, as well as say a 1 million more signin on fee, it probably wouldn't be that stupid of a move. Especially if COle won't accept being a bench player.
This has to be bollox, Yossi Benayoun? 
Hed be lucky to make Chelseas bench.
Hed be lucky to make Chelseas bench.Benayoun is a fantastic player. A lesser version of Messi. I'd have him at United gladly.
Just a tad lesser.
Benayoun and Messi in the same sentence.......really?
If by lesser you mean the pirated 25p version of Messi. And even that's giving Yossi too much credit.
Any player who is under 5'10 and slight is immediately gonna be compared to Messi.
FWIW I think Benayoun is a good player. He is their only creative midfielder but RAFA clearly doesn't fancy him because well he hates creative players. Decent squad player for Chelsea but it probably means Cole is out for sure.
Benayoun is a very good player, fast, great technical skill and is very creative.This has to be bollox, Yossi Benayoun?
He is 30 already so that's a downside but I'm sure he could be a solid squad player in any top team and for Chelsea in particular, a good replacement for someone like Deco.
Not saying any of this is true but I wouldn't mind picking up Benayoun on a modest fee.
Good creative player, stupidly underused by Benitez.
I disagree. They dole out the abuse to everyone. The scousers probably get it in the neck more than any other club.
Bennayoun, Messi.
I reckon Benayoun would be pretty good for Chelsea played on either wing or behind Drogba. Hes a talented little player who has probably been Liverpools best player for the last 2 seasons
just skim read the thread - Messi = Benayoun?
This forum never ceases to amaze/baffle me.
manso is the lesser version of messi , not ratface
Bang on!
I like 365, it's not the watered down bullshit you get from many other sites. They happily dish it out to anyone who they believe deserves it, Liverpool and Arsenal have received the most abuse from them this year!
dippers have slapped a 10 mil price tag on him according to reports
I laughed hard.
Luke Chadwick's ears muxt be burning so.
Done deal. Signed a 4-year contract with the Russians.
So theyve let Joe cole go for free and replaced him with a shitter player for 5 million?
Good good.
Good good.
Has Benayoun signed for Chelsea?
Yes. 4-year deal.
He's actually a good player.
Good player, not a Rafa player though. Rafa never liked him nor played him properly, despite the fact he is capable of creating and scoring more than Kuyt and Babel combined.
The Jewish connection..
I think it's crazy for Liverpool to let him go, he was one of their best players last season. He's very creative and got some important goals.
Oh well, here's hoping the rest of their good players follow him out the door.

He's not a top quality player. Chelsea seem to be about to spend £20M on him (fee +wages) over 4 years. Surely paying Cole £24M is a hopelessly better option.
Indeed, fecking zionists. Soon they'll be refusing to play on Sundays!
Right now, only papers in Israel (correct me if I'm wrong) are writing about this shocker.
Benayoun was solid in some or should I say, in many matches...

I'd say his more like Giggs. Capable of performing penetrating passes, cleaver runs, and dribbling past players and by doing so turning games on their heads.
Isnt actually all that bad a player obviously he's no Joe Cole and the thinking behind letting him go and replace him with an older lesser ability wise player is abit daft.
However one of the only creative players for Liverpool capable of changing a game what with Kuyt a poor man's Teveth/Golden Retriever playing in the same side as him.

if you refer to the sabbath then I believe that's actually a saturday?
Not really.
He's been very good though. The form and consistency he showed in the spring season of 09 was absolutely top class. Good dribbler, creative and scores goals. This on the wing despite being very much better in the middle.
That said, injuries and a general inconsistency has kept him from really hitting that level more regularly. Still a good squad player though.
I can't understand how most of the football fans underestimate him. He certainly has been better than Joe Cole in the last two seasons. If not for him, Liverpool would have been behind Birmingham this year. He was their only creative spark in several matches.
