Absolutely. Used to have a bit of a crush on Karen Carpenter, pity she died.

I dont want to be a kill joy but all these videos and stuff are fine but didnt we sign Boogers on the strength of a video.

He may well be the messiah but lets not get carried away, he probably aint the world beater that you all seem to be implying, otherwise the Arse mancs Juve etc would be in for him.

He will probably be a decent midfielder at Prem standard dont hype him to much you may get disapointed.

Lets hope i'm wrong

Benayoun off to West Ham - Agent
Breaking News, Saturday July 16 2005
Racing Santander midfielder Yossi Benayoun will sign for West Ham on Saturday, according to the player's agent.


The 24-year-old Israel international will undergo a medical after the two clubs agreed on a deal to see the player join the newly-promoted Premiership outfit.

"Racing and West Ham have already reached an agreement for Benayoun," the player's representative Gustavo Crnko told PA International.

"The player still has to sign the contract with West Ham, which he will do once he passes his medical today."

Benayoun had been tipped to move away from Santander this summer as the debt-ridden club look to ease their financial woes by cashing in on the rising star.

"His departure is simply a question of money for the club," added Crnko.

Everton and Bolton have also shown an interest in the playmaker, but Everton's signing of Spanish midfielder Mikel Arteta ruled out Benayoun's chances of a move to Goodison Park.

"It's true that both clubs were interested but the player has chosen West Ham," added Crnko.

Nicknamed 'The Diamond' in his home nation, Benayoun's Racing contract does not end until 2007 and the likely fee has been reported at £2million.

Benayoun arrived in the Primera Liga from Maccabi Haifa in 2003 and played 35 league games for Santander last season, scoring nine goals

Yeah, but 'Arry was a genius in the transfer market, could wheel and deal with the best of 'em. Pardjooooo, on the other hand, is a right ****. :wink:

My opinion - this ****er needs a few dinners, he looks like a right streak of piss.

I've been away for four days, and though i've got a basic idea from the last couple of pages of posts i can't be arsed to read 54 pages!
Can someone give me a brief summary of:
-Why are 54 pages raving about this guy?
-How much would we be paying for him?
-Is striker his dominant position?

Thanks for the basic profile...but an answer to these three questions would be much appreciated 8-)

he played for an unknown team in spain and stared there.
i keep on saying that if he were to play with a newly promoted team in england(west ham) and was able to keep her 3 years in a row being their top goalscorer, he would have been snatched.

Well done Daniel, great work, if we sign Yossi, Davids and then a striker such as Crouch, i really think, we'd stay up, there seems a belief in the squad, exciting times for us West Ham fans, it really is, a new West Ham is born. 8-)

just imagine Andy & Lou (little Britan) in charge of west ham.

"Who do you want in your midfield"

"that ONE" (pointing to a picture of yossi)

"are you sure, you always said that Yossi was a bit too fancy with not enough steel"

"yea I know! IWANT THAT ONE!!!"

55 pages later on KUMB and alot of weighing up his (yossi's) future, he flies in for a medical and to sign terms.

"DON'T WANT THAT ONE I WANT BOWYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

good news from the israeli side mates.
in this article, the reporter wrote about how will you hammers fans will say yossi's name.benayoun, benayoum, or just plane benni.
it says that all the hammers fans are trying to find details about yossi, and that are a few israeli helpers( :oops: ).
it says that the fans are trusting pini zehavi, and that yossi will try to repair the impression eyal left.
also, his agent his qouted:"west ham and racing have closed the dael, yossi needs to pass the medical and then he will sign."

the work permit is no real issue, cause he has played in all of the national team games in the last 2 years.
