I remember him playing well against England and we had a lot of Premierhsip players in our squad.

It's a shame we're not going for our first choice (i assume) but i don't think he's a bad second choice and is still very young. You never know Rafa may still have something extra up his sleeve (or in his wallet). If we end up with another winger then he's another good striker option.

A bit off topic and I dont even know why im typing this but I just had a de ja vu of reading this post and typing this.. 

Errr?!!

As I have been saying all the time, transfer fee is 5 Million (and not 4 as most of you said).
Benayoun said to Israeli press that "playing for Liverpool was his childhood dream".
Liverpool is one of the most popular teams in Israel of course. Benayoun is the third Israeli player to play for LFC (Avi Cohen 1980-1983 and Rocket Ronny Rosenthal 1990-1994? )

I wonder if he'll have a cult following like Ronny did, remember when he turned up and everyone was like "who the fu.ck is this guy coming on?"
