Southampton said to be interested in audacious move for Benjani
8:00am Friday 23rd July 2010 in Saints News
Benjani
SAINTS have been linked with an audacious move for Pompey’s former £4.1m striker Benjani.
As previously reported on the Daily Echo website, the 31-year-old Zimbabwean striker is currently a free agent after being released by Manchester City last month.
Benjani was signed by Pompey boss Harry Redknapp in Jauary 2006, shortly after the manager had returned to the club from Saints.
He had been recommended to Redknapp by Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger.
Benjani moved onto Manchester City just over two years later in a £3.8m deal.

The player, also recently linked with a move to Premiership clubs Blackburn, West Ham and Wolves, ended last season on loan at Sunderland, failing to score in eight starts.
The possible capture of Benjani would be a remarkable piece of business by Pardew, capturing an experienced Premier League strike - and beating off top flight clubs in the process.
Saints boss Alan Pardew has also reportedly failed with a £400,000 bid for his former Reading striker Nathan Tyson.
• Comment: Benjani to Saints? Seems a bit unlikely!

I am the only one who isnt excited about this? 31 year old has been, cant score. I've never rated him. He hardly got any goals at pompey, had a decent run of about 12 games and scored about 6-7 goals, 3 came as a hatrick. Never really did anything at city. I've seen loads of old players drop divisions over the years and do f all. Saying that if he could do what say merson and sheringham did for pompey to get them promoted we'd be delighted but I'm not convinced. However, I also was gutted when we signed crouch...! Would be nice to "have a name" I must admit. Still would prefer beattie or Austin. Just worrried he could turn into a harewood who did nothing after dropping down to the championship last year!
At the moment the squad appears settled and there appears to be harmony. It only needs one bad apple for that to be destroyed.
Benjani. A team player, but has been dogged by injury. Would he pass a medical?

We can then use the final 3 weeks until end of aug to get a loanee or two in to give them experience and us extra cover. Especially another CM and maybe CB.

Stranger things have happened though?
Anyone who moans about Beattie, are you all that forgetful, typical moaning football fans?
The guy is an arrogant pig, but he is an arrogant pig with a wife and kids and he is lucky enough to have a 10-15 year career that will set him and his family up for life so course when he left he did it for more money than we could offer and for what he saw as bettering himself, he is now 31-32 and approaching the later days in his career, he can still score goals in the premier league and there-for would tear it up in LG1....gheez, This I believe could easily be the same story for Benjani, different player but still would terrify your average LG1 defender! Neither mentioned are long term appointments but they would get you out this division. Also wages would be down to the club and are capped in this division!Get real Beattie haters...sour!

= BUCKET LOADS OF GOALS. 30 each. 20 from Barnard, 20 Lallana, 10 Connelly, Hammond, Puncheon. 20 more if we could tempt Darren Ambrose.
TOTAL 150 goals = PROMOTION. Doesnt matter how many we let in with that figure!

I was there holding the banner at the FA cup final that read "and the beat goes on " haha! Beattie does love it down here but his wife's family are from Botley and they are often there visiting, used to work there and see them passing all the time! COME BACK BEATTS!

Beattie won't come anyway as one of the new Prem clubs would take a punt on him, but why would we want him anyway?
We have players of his type who are better, younger, cheaper and fitter than him already.
What we really lack without Antonio and Papa is basic pace and unpredictability.
As shown last season by Antonio, who was far from brilliant in terms of control or tricks, is that League 1 defenders cannot cope with players with basic pace, even if it's just kick-and-run-after-i
t pace.
That's what we're missing in our current attack.

Personally I think you can forget Beattie and Benjani, apart from any other reason, their wage demands would be to high.
If I remember the figure from last season, we can't spend more than £180000 per week on 1st team wages.

We're all entitled to our opinions.
Rickie Lambert could definitely play in the Prem, he's a lot better than some we've had here, who are now mostly plying their trade at Stoke, people always have this Prem tag as if you've got to be as good as Ronaldo to play there, BS just look at the likes of Stoke, Bolton and Wigan to see that they have players of very limited ability playing week in, week out in the right formation.

, who has just gone into the prem with BLACKPOOL , was through ball control. No i dont think we need the likes of beats or benjamers and im sure PARDS has someone lined up. Keep the faith and sing for the boys this coming season. I dont want to sound negative but i think we will find it just as hard this season as we did last.
