Anfield Banter: Benayoun is not in the bargain bin, Really? Real want Dudek?, & another young midfielder?
By: Brian | June 14th, 2007* I’m beginning to think Benitez is one cheap bastard, like the type of guy who haggles at the farmer’s market to get an extra 10 cents off a couple of tomatoes. I mean, what does he do? Call up his buddies back in Spain and say ‘Guess what? I got Andriy Voronin for free?! Yeah, who’s el hombre now, bitches?!’ In his latest search for cheap labor, he has reportedly offered West Ham £1m for Benayoun, for which the Hammers were ‘insulted’. If that’s true, I’m insulted. Benayoun is a decent player and is worth at least as much as Arbeloa, who we bought for £2.5m. If Benayoun hadn’t expressed his desire to come to LFC, this deal would be surely dead in the water. Once again, I don’t see the point unless Benayoun can play left wing. I just checked out www.football-lineups.com, and a matter of fact, he can! Maybe this will be a good buy after all.
* Real Madrid have reportedly made an offer for Jerzy Dudek. Speaking of people losing their minds. Wait a second, didn’t Dudek throw a fit last season because he was tired of backing up Pepe, who is the back-up for Iker Casillas on the Spanish National team and is also the starter for Real? My favorite part of that article:
“Real Madrid have made a sensational move for out-of-contract Liverpool goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek.”
Sensational might be a stretch.
* Finally, we have reportedly made an offer for FC Barcelona prospect Marc Crosas. The 18-year-old would initially come over on a loan with a permanent switch option. Another midfielder. Yeah.

Benayoun is not going anywhere for £1m, if we can get him for £3m, I would consider that a good deal. He’s a lot better player than Zenden and is the captain of the Israeli National football team. £1m is just not realistic. I’m all for getting players at a bargain, but that’s just ridiculous.
I also think we have plenty of cash. I would say with the sales of Kewell(maybe), Bellamy(again, maybe), Gonzo (probably) and Cisse (highly likely), Rafa has at least £55m to spend. I also don’t think we need much for next season, but a world class striker would be nice. Look at what Man U did last summer, all they did was grossly overpay for Carrick. That’s it. So I’m all in favor of keeping the squad together and letting them grow as a team.

And… this was during the season 2003/2004.
When Mourinho won the Champions League. Now imagine why he has not been able to win it in Chelsea???

I was under the impression that Benitez has his targets picked out, but the new owners are being stingy and aren’t releasing the cash that was promised to him. After all, if you really like a player, it doesn’t make sense to haggle over a million pounds and beat the deal to death, which allows other clubs with better negotiators to come into the picture.

Well according to Yossi, he told a Israeli Newspaper that the Reds were preparing a 6 million pound bid for him. That seems a little much to me, 4 million seems better fit…

You’re right,6 million isn’t a bargain, I’d rather go a little higher and get Gamst Pedersen from Blackburn Rovers.
