The January 2013 HCDAJFU thread...

Benitez will probably want rid of Benayoun quite quickly as they don't have the best of relationships going back to their time at Liverpool

"Everyone asks me why I left Liverpool," said Benayoun. "There is only one reason – Rafa Benítez."

 

The midfielder says the Spaniard, who left Liverpool to manage Internazionale, never treated him with respect he felt he deserved.

 

"If I played well, I never felt he gave me credit," he told the News of the World.

 

"When I scored, I still expected to be out of the team the next game. On two occasions early last season, against Fulham and Lyon, the fans booed when I was subbed. They thought I was playing well but Benítez told me he was surprised the fans booed because I was not good enough.

 

"He tried to destroy my confidence. You can't treat a player like this and expect him to be happy."

Typical stupid comment from this forum who only think we can be looking at signing 1 player at once.

Oh okay then. Please not Benayoun because he's overpaid and overrated. But I do jolly hope that we are after a quality centre backs and perhaps a new keeper. There you go. Don't think I said we were only after him. Jeez.

Was trying to make this point on the Astori thread but some people will not budge from their assumption that we inexplicably tried really hard in getting certain signings over others.

Currently on 100k a week at Chelsea but would consider about 30k.

 

At that kind of figure its a bit more likely.

 

You beat me to it.

 

The bloke has made fecktons at Chelsea.

 

Really depends on what his priorities are.

Adkins "would like to think a couple of people will be coming" to #SaintsFC this month, adding: "We've got to keep looking at the future."

Adkins looking to offload squad players this month. Didn't name names but reckon Chaplow, Butterfield, Dickson, Barnard, Forte & De Ridder.

.@Luke_Shaw3 will not be leaving #SaintsFC. "Arsene did not speak to me on Tues," Adkins said. "This is best place for him at this point."

Lallana out of FA Cup match with #CFC, although Clyne could return. Ramirez has overcome a dead leg. Mayuka's last game before AFCON.

 

Simon Peach ‏@SimonPeach

Adkins pledged to name a much stronger side against #CFC than that used in the Capital One Cup, saying: "I want to go and win the game."

Nigel Adkins has confirmed #SaintsFC will NOT be bringing in a new goalkeeper this month.

 

Yet there are so many rumours of us being in for Butland.

 

However, this may mean that we might sign him now whilst the opportunity is there and then loan him back to Brum for the rest of the season.

 

That way he gains more experience to prepare him for PL next season ...

Doubt if we'll sign another GK for the future, we have Gazza. Boruc will do until then, hopefully in about 3 years.

If you read the quotes its clear Gazza is the future no1.

****ing ridiculous.

 

It's absolutely crazy. If true I have serious concerns about our transfer policy and if we get relegated then we will look back at this decision as a pivotal moment.

 

As I said from the day he signed, although Boruc is clearly crazy I think given a run of games he should be more than good enough. Adkins agrees, so put some trust in Nigel and Artur. :)

What evidence do you have that he is 'clearly crazy'?

I'd just point out that Adkins said we definitely weren't in for Yoshida, 2 days later he arrived. I wouldn't count on that goal keeper quote being 100% true.

 

Adkins doesn't lie. Remember how quick everyone was to claim this when he denied he was being forced to play a certain way. If Adkins says we aren't signing a keeper, we aren't signing a keeper. He doesn't lie.

I wouldn't be so forthright.

 

Nixon re: Adkins comments today and Butland.

 

reluctantnicko: @gregvul Again. That would be odd considering a call and meeting that has gone on this week.

Tsk. What would he know about our transfer dealings?
