Yossi Benayoun

[Trap1]

Must admit I knew bugger all about this one in particular. I thought Pardew was more occupied talking to a couple big names.

If he does sign this guy then someone will almost certainly have to praise Chairman Brown's efforts come the morning of August 13th.

It's already in one. I hope someone sh1ts on top of them while they're down there.

At least he's not dead yet. That's a bonus.

If he was dead then Plymouth Argyle would try to sign him!! :lol:

[A New Hope]

I'm not getting my hopes up, as it almost seems too good a signing for a newly promoted club.

But if Pardew can pull it off, then I'd be delighted.

Just watched that video and i know its just highlights and you cant judge a player on less than 8 mins of action but **** me what a player!

He has a good eye for goal, can hit some pretty sweet shots and is a bit passionate when it comes to celebrating.

Please Pards make this happen!

Worried about this one, with Bolton';s interest.
Yes they can offer European football which may swing his decision (then again he left a club in Europe - Maccabi haifa, for a club that isn't - Santander) however, we can actually beat them financially. It seems they have financial problems, and are onyl willing to pay £1.8M. This could swing it in our favour. Fingers crossed that the lure of London, and playing attractive football (unlike at Allar-****-dyce's) brings him to us. Cummon Pards!!

Good article about him here from January 2005.

Sorry about the multiple posts , but just to keep you updated on the Israeli media's updates:

One of Benayoun's agents, Ronen Katzav: "We had a very good meeting with West Ham, but Yossi will make his decision only after we meet Bolton as well". Benayoun himself: "Still haven't made a decision".

This link says that Boltons £1.8m bid was rejected.

Yossi wont be talking to them if they havent had a bid accepted.

Can someone tell me why I am getting so excited about a player I have never heard of before? ?

Im exactly the same mate.

I think its because every single independent review or article thst I have read seems to rave about him.

Since we were relegated we havent enjoyed a gifted play-maker at Upton Park. Maybe this guy could be what weve been missing.

yossi benayoun is the best israeli player.
he is the leading player in the israeli national team.
he is a very creative and verstile midfielder, who has an offensive approach.
any team who gets him, would be very lucky.
he has a lot of talent, and needs the righe manager to fulfill his potential.
i'm from israel by the way, and i'll be very happy to answer any questions about him.

I can't be sure mate, I'm only passing on the Hebrew information, which claims that there are talks with both clubs.

Latest report: "Benayoun seems to prefer West Ham". Might turn out to be bollox by the rate of it, but also makes a bit of sense- London offers much more than Bolton, and there's a Jewish community in which he could raise his children.

Welcome Daniel,

cant think of anything to ask though there is so much info and links in this thread already

[coxy]

Like others for some reason I'm quite excited about this proposed deal. Can anyone tell me who the last foreigner we signed was? Repka is the one that springs to mind but it was probably Sophie-Anne or someone like that.

[Herts Iron]

I dont know a thing about this geezer, but reading (some) of this thread, it seams he is highly thought of and would be a decent signing.
Daniel, is this story doing the rounds in Israel too? Did you say you are in Israle, or from Israel?

Did he stand in the North bank/chicken run, etc, etc as a kid?

IIRC it's Seb Carole, the French bloke who came on as sub vs. Crewe.
