<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Liverpool have agreed a fee with West Ham for Yossi Benayoun, according to the Israeli international's agent. BBC Sport understands a ?4m transfer will be finalised for the 25-year-old West Ham midfielder on Wednesday. Agent Ronen Katzav said: "Everybody would be happy to play for Liverpool. West Ham will always be in his heart but he is looking to move up a level." Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez said: "It's clear he'd like to come and he's a player I like." Benayoun, Israel's national captain, moved to Upton Park from Racing Santander in a ?2.5m deal in 2005. He has played 72 games for the Hammers and scored eight goals. The clubs have already done business this summer with striker Craig Bellamy moving to the capital from Merseyside in a ?7.5m deal. </div> Souce: BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Liverpool | Liverpool 'agree' Benayoun switch Your Thoughts??? I didnt think it would be good signing at first (well if rafa had of paid 8mil for him). We'll just have to wait and see if its the right move or not.
He's a good player, hard working midfielder who's got some skills to go in and set up or score some goals. It would be a good signing for Liverpool, but I'm not sure if it'd be a good place to move because what's the chance that he will fit into the squad straight away and stay there? It seems like, for Liverpool, he might just be a bit-part player coming on late in games and starting when someone is injured.
lol i read it was a free transfer rafa's is starting to buy good players. lets hope theyll pose more of a threat to united and chelsea next season.
