Title: this benjamin deal
Post by: red macca on Monday, January 30, 2006, 17:30:31
is shit. but i cant help feeling iffys got his hands tied here.as you all know i think the club obviously has one eye on league 2(not a bad thing it makes sense).we all think we need a striker which is obvious but if we sign one on a long contract that leaves us next year with peacock,cureton,roberts,holgate,caton,and the young polish lad and if we signed another today that would be SEVEN strikers on a finance crippled clubs books.just dont think it makes sense...think we could of got a better striker on loan though.i have seen benjamin play numerous times and he is utter shit.i hope he turns out ok if he does i will hold my hands up just cant see it

i suppose iffy wants experience, power, pace and someone who's cheap. i suppose benjamin was his best option

he was a donk in the prem but no player deserves to be written off before he's even played for us

Give the guy a chance, although I can hardly say I am excited about it.

Iffy has brought him in because he is probably the only person stupid enough to want to come here

oh fuck off

iffy bought him in for a reason, i imagine that reason is to make use of his experience, strength size and pace to add another dimension to our strikeforce. we've got a skillful midget, a big chavvy goalscorer and now we've got a huge lump.

i highly doubt iffy signed him with a view to playing him ahead of cureton and peacock but as backup.

Yep, we definately are short of a lump or two and at the end of the day it's a long term loan and probably not costing us a great deal.  Doubt anyone with the sort of experience as lumpy here would come quite as cheap!

Hopefully this isn't all of the Fallon cash now used for players.

 Iffy was a kind of poor man's Chief.....but he did score 20 league goals in a season in the second flight, one of only three players to achieve that in our history...so he must know something about lumpiness.

I hope Benjamin turns out to be just half as good as Allison. I watched the chief play at Bournemouth on Saturday and he is still a class act!:old:

if we wanted a Chief like player, we should have just got the Chief  8)

I was speaking to my gramp on the phone last night, he saw Benjamin turn out for p'boro reserves sometime for some reason anyway.

Gods honest trurth, he compared his ball control to that of my dog

'You know when you play ball with Millie and she runs too fast and its get caught under he feet and she isnt sure where it is'

'yeah'

'that what Benjamins like'
