A bit more scuttlebug been reaching me from some friends. First of all, Benayoun is a certainty. Friends of mine who support West Ham are telling me that they think its already a done deal. Apart from a little price issues, the wages won't be a problem and he'll be shown off on wednesday.

Slightly stranger, Matt Taylor, currently of Portsmouth will be unvailed with the Israeli star. A friend of mine on the south coast was really angry about this, a rumour he heard this morning, and phoned me to give some stick. What he thinks I can do about it, who knows. But the word is that he really impressed Benitez who does like to bring in English players alongside his favoured Spaniards.

Just reporting what I've heard.

can't see matty taylor imho as he is average at best, sweet left peg but not a lfc player

and west ham fans can kiss my ring if they are not happy about a player wanting to leave to get a step up in his career

I would/will welcome Matty Taylor if we get him. IMO he is a good English born player who could hold down the LM and do a good job for us. A proven performer in the EPL and potential for Int'l honours in the future..

Benayoun I dont know enough about. May mean the end of Luis which I am against!

luis garcia is better than benayoun, ive seen him play for both west ham and israel and he doesnt compare with garcia. if we replaced him with garcia then i think rafa would be making a big mistake. he'd be alright as a reserve but no way should he replace luis garcia

i honestly don't care if he was swaddled with the cross of st george he is never a lfc standard player imo

maybe you ve got them mixed up

one is a creative midfielder that runs with the ball and can unlock a defence

the other is an average up and down work horse with a sweet left foot and a knack of getting on match of the day for long shots,never a lfc player while i ve got a hole in my @rse

you are right Hebz i agree with you 1oo%
I mentioned it earlier that garcia is better then benayoun infact he is 100 times better then benayoun
If rafa want to sell garcia then we should use him in part of Torres deal
benayoun has better energy level then anyother player in epl but this is not enough for a team like liverpool that is what I think. :Oo:

Thats rubbish mate in my opinion!!

Garcia is a world beater on his day,true.But he tends to go missing in 'normal games'.
There have been way to many games when we have been in need of inspiration,a driving creative run forward for example.Luis fails to play well more times than he succeeds,its there for all to see.One moment of trickery or magic in a game does by no means compensate for loosing possesion as often as he does.

One thing that drives me mad about Garcia is that when he looses the ball 90% of the time he gives up and leaves it to team mates to clean up his mess.

No one can deny that he can score a great goal in important games here and there but he seems to lack passion in the prem compared to the C/L.

We need a player who will work hard every game and play to a consistent level all season.
Benayouns proven costincency at a high level for me by far out weighs Garcias here and there performances.

I don't think you watch west ham match regularly that's why you said that

I don't say that Garcia is veyr good player i said that he is better then benayoun once again I am not saying that benayoun is not a good player what I am saying that he is not good for a club like liverpool.

100% with hebz, and with all garcia has done for the club, rising in big occaisions, luis on his day was a great player for liverpool, benayoun on his day maybe good enough for the bench

Are you crazy how can we go from signing Torres to getting Taylor not the top tier of player is he come on lets be honest.

I'm a huge fan of Matty Taylor and would be very happy to see him sign, plus if Gonzalez leaves in the summer which looks iminent, we need cover on our left full back and left wing, Taylor can provide this as well as pushing for a starting place. Yossi I wouldn't mind having at Anfield, we could swap Bellamy for him.

Posted: **Fri Jul 06, 2007 11:03 pm**

I think we have enough half left back half left mids for now. we need either a proper left back or a proper winger
