Didn't he moan about being on the bench which was why we sold him in the first place?

Benayoun was told by Rafa that he wasn't in his plans and that he can look elsewhere. That's why he wanted out! Raga dissent treat him very well considering he was a very important sub for us and turned games when he came on. In saying that I'm not sure I'd have him back now that he's 31 and returning from a major injury.

Pretty sure that was the season before, when he wasn't figuring much for us. In his last season he got a lot more playing time and became a more important figure in our team.

Yossi was huge for us in 08/09, but that's a few seasons ago now, and I doubt he's become better with age. Personally I wouldn't ever consider buying a Chelsea reject - look how swimmingly our last one went. They sell for a reason, and that reason is usually that the player can't cut it.

If we were to get him, I certainly wouldn't expect him as a regular starter, but I still believe he has a lot to offer as an impact sub. He brings a lot of energy and creativity to the pitch.

I cant understand why we are intereted in Benayoun I know he was a decent player for us but why do we need another midfielder especially as hes 32 now. Is KK worried that Stevie G's injury is more seriously than they are letting on? It makes sense about Bellamy as we can use him as a back up striker or winger but I just dont get why we would need Benayoun?
