Yossi to Moscow?

[T0RRES]

Seen this article in the mail, perhaps another unsettling rumour or maybe there's an element of truth, in the assertion that there have been a number of backroom bust ups with more than one or two falling out with Rafa?.

 

Yossi Benayoun set for Dynamo Moscow as Russian club claim Liverpool star has agreed terms | Mail Online.

 

apologies if this had been posted previously.

[TopMod]

If I was Yossi, I'd be a bit pissed off always being played out of position. It is the Daily Mail though.

[Rex Banner]

Bullshit, no way Rafa would let him go we need him badly. Unless we had some superstar lined up which we don't.

[Lucky Pierre]

Daily Mail haven't got anything even near tigh this transfer window.

[Unrighteous]

This better not be true, because we need Yossi. Bad.

[Guest LFD]

If we sell Yossi and buy Kenwyne Jones then it will be another example of Rafa going for graft over craft.

 

Given our defense seem to be hoofing it upfront Jones might be more effective than Yossi, no point in having skill on the ball if the team want to play long ball.

I am hoping both you and Pierre are right on this, the clubs comments concern me as they seem to suggest this is far more than a rumour.

We ignoring this line?

 

'When we completed the signing of Andriy Voronin, consent was given by Benitez. Now the Liverpool coach is against losing Benayoun, but the decision is not his, it is for the club's directors."

 

Debts have to be paid. Thanks DM.

[ZonkoVille77]

Fuckin hope this is bullshit. Can't have him gone.

 

Will this nitemare ever fuckin end?..

Yeah, people seem to have not noticed that.

We're fucked, and whilst the majority of our great support are arguing like school children over Rafa, we're getting fucked left, right and centre by our owners.

Time we really woke up.

1244: Midfielder Yossi Benayoun is set to leave Liverpool for Spartak Moscow, according to the Russian club's sporting director Konstantin Sarsania. The clubs expect to agree a fee of £7m for the Israel international. Full story: Daily Mail

 

I can and can't believe this all at the same time

[bigal]

Unbelievable, in every way

[dirty_sanchez]

For £7m, they can suck my balls. There was a story about Yossi going in the summer as well though. I think his agent has just got a big mouth.

[RedinSweden]

I am slightly worried by the direct quotes, to be honest. If the owners start selling players without the consent of the manager, then we really are up shit creek.

[RobbieOR]

Fuck sake.

[Wor Horse]

Fucked.

RIS we are up shit creek. If the ownership stays the same, there is no way forward. None.

[Paco]

I'd say it's more to do with funding a move for Jones. why doesn't he just sell Babel? he's not playing him, he obviously doesn't rate him. Why sell one of the fan's favourites and put yourself under even more pressure?

[ODZ]

Benayoun's "close associates" have said there's no chance of this happening in the Israeli media, his agent said "no comment".

[Sandman]

If this is true, then it might explain Benitez's reluctance to squash the Juventus link.

true

[T0RRES]

Johnny h picked up on the line regarding the directors, that's basically saying the deal was already done, so Rafa knew, yes?

 

They seem to be saying hes now changed his mind, disturbing in any event.

[Rex Banner]

Why would he turn down bigger bids for Babel and then sell Yossi? He wouldn't that's why.

[PaulMcC]

I can't see Rafa letting Yossi go for 7m when he plays him a lot but wouldn't let Babel go for 9m.

[Fugitive]

If the board sold Yossi from under Rafa's feet, would this not go against the terms of Rafa's new contract and allow him to quit and still get a pay-off?
