cool. enough said...

As revealed by Soccernet two months ago, Benayoun had been made one of Carlo Ancelotti's primary targets for the summer. And now the Israel international has put pen to paper on a deal thought to be worth around £5 million.

When CA brought us the double, can't you guys believe his decision making on selecting the players? I believe Benayoun have his qualities to offer during his days in Chelsea and I believe in CA and every Chelsea player in the squad. Time will tell and prove us if Benayoun is a bargain buy or flop.

I enjoyed every moment watching the pools when Benayoun was brought in last 20 minutes or so. He always eager to make an impact and sometimes he does make a difference because he can go from left to right. He scored dramatic win against RM in CL round 16 in Bernabéu, score against Fulham on 94th minute to bring 3 points, Give the pools to draw against Arsenal in 4-4 scoreline.

Everytime he play for pools, he always show he has the eager to prove he is the one. (Let's not be bias and judge him as a player, not club nor nationality) I sees motivation in him where I don't see in Gerrard's body language while they were losing.

MU fans jealous laa..don't have money..

Benayoun
*Gasp*
WTF?! WE SIGNED AN OLD MAN.

Bad move. 5.5m. Any news about his salary then?
Bad move by Benayoun too. I think he can only sit on the bench.
I do not mean he's bad. but just we got many player like him already. We do not need him.
And still, if he do something miracle on our right wing position, I salute him.

i believe CA bought him because of his versatility. just think how many position he can play. left, right, middle.. furthermore, he already adapted to epl style, proven to have a heart of a winner. he will be on the bench if we didn't brought in any new young player but if we bring no one, the chance of him getting a good time in the first XI is quite high.

pros:
-utility player
-super sub -> can become match winner

cons:
-30 years old already
-salary is the same as Joe Cole salary which is 80k per week

Umm. Think again.His biggest pros is utility.
The salary is high man. Nevermind. Let's see his performance first.
I believe CA bought him because he worry later MC take all our target,Silva, Yaya already join MC.

Formation for our squad now:
Malouda-Drogba-Anelka
Lampard-Essien-Benayoun

Poor signing. You add another 30 years old player when many of current squad age 30 ++. This is BPL Ancelotti not Serie A when u can still use PAVALLI aGED 37 IN MILAN Squad.

heheh potentially lots of split opinions on our latest acquisition. for what its worth, dynames makes a lot of good points.
versatile, plays with his heart on his sleeve and quite a hard working player. he'll have more of an impact compared to joe cole. u heard it here first on the same wages as our ex-player? even better news. keep in mind joey was looking for a hike in wages which was promptly rejected outright. well not outright, but u get the picture.

my verdict : a very good squad player. but people like kalou and mikel will not be sitting comfortably with his arrival, u can bet on that.
if they don't maintain a high level of performance, its their places which are under threat.

Well, another transfer news, not in, but out..

http://www.goal.com/en/news/11/transfer-zo...sea-misery-with

30M sounds a good deal for me... With Yuri already blending in squad, we can go for David Luiz or Coentrao after that.. Younger and hot prospect...

if a.cole wants to end his successful football career, then PLS JOIN REAL.....past english players has suffered in LA LIGA: beckham, owen...hope ashley make a wise decision on it.

true talk...

dont believe goal.com. its good to read for fun but most of the news are bullshit.

but anyways, if ashley really dont like it in england already, which i doubt, he can leave. yuri does have what it takes when he came in for ashley for a while last season. but of course i hope that ashley stays, he is still the best left back in the world for me.

if Ashley wanna leave let him be, maybe we can bring Lahm.

MY KIT..i waited for 12 years to purchased a GENUINE CFC KIT ....

Our next transfer target should depend on the formation Carlo want to play...

4-3-3..Then we should sign Bastian at least as CM...

4-Diamond-2 we should sign Silva..but we missed him..so Ozil..as the tip of the diamond...

if we cant get those players any young blood...then i dont really mind...

KTBFFH!

Benayoun signs for Chelsea



It will be interesting to see how these two will get along!

haha kick him...

Did you guys won the league after spending close two 100m on players? You finished 2nd. And it was only ManUtd who was in a rebuilding process and Arsenal back then. City have it harder since they are further down the line a bit when they started spending. And this time there are better teams around. The big 4(Liverpool included), Spurs, Villa, Everton.. they're all strong this time. It will just be a matter of time though before they break into the top 4. Once that happens, they will only get better.

Think about it. If Roman had bought Leeds, Leicester or Wolverhampton who all went down in 03/04 instead, it would be a Leeds/Leicester/Wolverhampton thread here which would be more popular. It might have taken longer, but with the money being thrown around, it was only a matter of time, like City would show eventually. 100m a season, where before that you were struggling if I remembered correctly with Bates although you got good results in the league. That's what people mean by money->trophy especially with clubs that have a sugar daddy like Chelsea has. From out of nowhere, comes in a rich guy, buy players out of his own pocket money, and presto, you're the champion. Like I said, could easily bought any other side, and would make it a champion in no time. Arsenal, us, Liverpool, any other side buy players from our own pocket money almost. We spent within our means which we earn through whatever income the clubs generated themselves.

On the pitch, it's clear you guys are worthy of whatever successes you had and will have, but it will be forever be in the shadows of the ££ with Russian signature stamped on top of every trophy. Don't cry when people doesn't acknowledge you guys as worthy. The fact is, without Roman, you wouldn't have the same amount of successes over the last few years since he came. You guys just have to live with that reputation.

I LIKE BASTIAN AND OZIL
Love itt. Umm. I feel 4-3-3 is better for our squad.

Man U fans..

Why u so butthurt??

Just go to your thread laa..

N now you butthurt with Man City??
