Benjani from Man City for £5million
Was speaking to a lad who sits near me at half time, he claimed to be in the know, and the way he was speaking about it all seemed to make sense.
quick, strong, good in the air, can finish, works very hard and would perfectly suit our style of play.
I could see it happening. Anybody else heard anything similar?

watched him against Dull and he didnt really impress me. However think im becoming a snob last year couldn't of even of dreamed of seeing him in a Stoke Shirt. Decent chance i reckon.

The kind of player that only produces when he feels like it and even when he does, he contributes nothing to the team. |

Fuck me, some of you need to get real.
How the fuck are we going to persuade him to slash his wages from £60K a week to something Stoke will pay?

Heard that benjani's been speaking to anybody that'll listen (Mail, Times, Sky, 365 etc.) to say that new signings coming to eastlands in the new year don't scare him. sounds like a man that wants to stay and fight for his place under hughes to me. ... and he looks too much like Whoopee Goldberg, no? |

He may or may not come, but he is a country mile better than Harewood.

I think Benjani is wank personally. He reminds me of Akinbiyi (not just in appearance) - runs around a lot & chips in with the odd goal, but has very little footballing ability.

Is Benjani really on £60k a week?
surely not?
probably on more than our top pay bracket (£25k?) though.

We will be signing defenders, I hear we are interested in Lamine Diatta, he's black and surprisingly hails from Senegal

We are getting very bloody fussy!!  At the moment we have Cresswell and Pericard! Benjani would be excellent and was scoring quality goals at Pompey for Harry The Pompey link gives us a chance but whether we can afford him is a different matter We can but hope |

no footballing ability? didn't he score around 20 goals last season?

swanland, that sounds like a description of Fuller before the Pulis magic got to work on him  . Benjani feels like a potential Stoke player to me, Tone should know how to get the best out of him, he'd suit the way we play and if it came down to Benjani or Harewood it would be Benjani every time. |

Post by Danstoke82 on Nov 26, 2008 13:46:18 GMT
Agreed, Benjani would be an ace signing. It's just whether we could afford him AND whether he would want to leave his 60K a week comfort at Citeh

Hope not, he is weak. He is like a shit Kenwyne Jones, and couldn't do Sidibes job half as well.

Harewood would give us true backup for Mama, I'd like to see Diomansy Camara as he would be great cover for Fuller though.

Lets not forget Lee Trundle. He lives local and is on £10k a week |

Plausible - big, black, strong, ex Portsmouth, doesn't score many.
Also undoubtedly Man City will be going up market in the January sales and Benjani is the sort of medium profile player they'll be shipping out so that they can bring in better known players to help "establish the brand".

good god, can you imagine what the transfer window is going to be like on here a mass outbreak of disagreement on whoever we sign,there will be bloodshed. is there one player realistically that we would all agree would be a good signing? |
