To be fair, we did sign Sidwell, so sadly can't crow too much.....yet.

In my oppinion Benayoun is a rather good player. I think he can do some good for Pool, unfortunately

he is a good player, would add some creativity unfortunately. I would have taken him at chelsea, I think.

I actually agree that he is a pretty good player but he's hardly going to set the world alight is he. Which is a good thing of course.

But our squad doesnt need a major overhaul, Liverpool's does.

Very true, and I certainly don't want big changes, although I wish we'd added a cheap flair player/winger instead of ANOTHER box to box midfielder.....with a f*cking dreadful tattoo.

a major overhaul is exactly what it doesnt need. It needs 2-3 TOP class players adding, and until we decide to do that instead of buying 5-6 decent/good players each season we are going to continue to struggle.

Not overly happy about this deal although i do rate the player, just think we dont seem to have the money we were expecting to have and so would rather put it to better use than this. The only way i would like yossi is if it was yossi plus cash for bellamy. I am hoping that spurs get Bent over west ham so they will then really perse bellamy, but west hams contract offer may well be too good to turn down for a young lad.

Agreed, could have deffinatly done a job for us, a bit light weight but usefull none the less

This would be a real kick in the teeth for West Ham - I assumed his contract was signed done and dusted weeks ago.
