Liverpool FC midfielder Yossi Benayoun agrees Chelsea switch

http://www.clickliverpool.com/sport/liverpool-fc/129478-liverpool-fc-midfielder-yossi-benayoun-agrees-chelsea-switch.html

"Yossi Benayoun has penned a four-year deal with Chelsea, according to reports in his native Israel.

Last month the Premier League champions tabled an offer of £4million for the 30-year-old which was rejected by Liverpool but are understood to have increased their valuation but refused to meet his £10million asking price.

Carlo Ancelotti is keen to enlist the midfielder's services after allowing Joe Cole to leave Stamford Bridge on a free transfer after failing to agree a new deal.

Benayoun penned a four-year deal to remain at Anfield last summer and became a regular fixture in Rafael Benitez's side over the previous two seasons despite a muted arrival from West Ham United in 2007.

But an increased salary and the prospect of regular appearances in next season's Champions League proved too strong for him to resist and he is set to return to England later this week to undergo a medical at Chelsea's training complex in Cobham before being unveiled."

Double hurumphs.

The Guardian (10 mins old).................

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/jun/14/yossi-benayoun-liverpool-chelsea

"Yossi Benayoun has, according to reports, agreed to join Chelsea on a four-year contract from Liverpool, although it is believed that both clubs have yet to agree on a fee.

Chelsea have reportedly been pursuing the Israeli international for some time and see him as an ideal replacement for Joe Cole, who will leave the club next month after failing to agree terms on an extension to his deal at Stamford Bridge.

Benayoun has been a moderate success at Liverpool since joining for £5m in July 2007 but supposedly fell out with now former manager Rafael Benítez during the last campaign and has been looking to leave Anfield ever since.

According to the Israeli Sport 5 website, the 30-year-old has finalised personal terms with the Premier League champions, but the move is far from completed. Chelsea, it is believed, do not want to spend more than £4m on the player while Liverpool want closer to £10m.

Liverpool are currently without a manager following the departure of Benítez earlier this month and it is also possible that his replacement, widely expected to be Roy Hodgson, could demand that Benayoun remains at the club. It is likely, though, that a compromise will be reached shortly that will see the former West Ham player return to London."

Quadruple hurumphs.

If we get 5 or 6 million for him, then it would make sense in a footballing sense, as he is now over 30 and we paid about that much for him.

However;

A) Who is sanctioning these sales? Broughton? But how can he be making footballing decisions?

B) Who will be brought in to replace these players?

PS- I know the answer to both is "we're fucked".

We should be getting £8M for Yossi IMO. If the league leaders want him then they should be digging in to those deep pockets.

EXACTLY!
WHO the FUCK is sanctioning these transfers or sales or what the fuck?
Broughton?
Kenny?
Purslow?

FUCKING HELL!
The club will be all sold like a fucking "Yard Sale" over the summer!
MOTHER FUCKERS!

Such a joke!
Would ANY FUCKING SANE Manager come in with parts of the previous squad GONE?
Like, seriously, think of it.......
New Manager on the first day......roll call of players....

New Manager: "....Benny? ....."
Whoever is left: "Oh he left guv"
New Manager: "....Mascher? ....."
Whoever is left: "Oh he left guv"
New Manager: "....Some bloke who is an Abba fan, Fernando? ....."
Whoever is left: "Oh he left guv"
New Manager: "....Ahhhh Steven? ....."
Whoever is left: "Oh he left too guv"

New Manager: "....So who is left? ....."
Whoever is left: "Oh some little short fella called spearing and a Massive goalie....!"
New Manager: "....FUCK ME! ....."

Would Chelsea sell us one of their players?? No, so neither should we, if he wanted to leave then he should have been sold to a team outside the premiership.

Benayoun is a very good player, he has scored some important goals for us and he's got at least another 2 /3 years playing at this level.

It doesn't matter where the player wants to move to, we learned that the hard way when Heinze wanted to join Liverpool, but Fergie got his way and the player didn't get his move to Liverpool.

However it seems the board hasn't learnt their lesson from that experience.
