opening the door for benjani's move to man city?
'Arry must be off his rocker. Throwing away one of the form players of the season and a fans' favorite for another over-rated over-priced England international waster.
Senile tbh.
No.
Benjani is nearly 30 and the fee being banded around is £8mil. So if they can get £8mil for Benjani who doesn't offer a lot other than running and then buy Jermain Defoe for £7mil then that is fantastic business. Defoe isn't the best striker in the world but he is a decent Premier League striker.
And he isn't an England international.
The fee is £6mil for Benjani, who (need I remind you) is third top scorer in the Premier League with two hat-tricks as opposed to Defoe who's managed 3 Premier League goals and contends with Darren Bent for third place at Spurs.
You're also wrong about the England international bit. This is bad business and although Benjani isn't world class he's better than Defoe.
The fee being quoted for Benjani was £8million. Those two hat tricks came against Reading and Derby, that's not groundbreaking. All Benjani offers is a lot of running and he is nearly 30, cash in while it's possible.
I'm not wrong about the England international part. When was the last time Jermain Defoe played for England? Uruguay? and that was a substitute appearance over a year ago and (need I remind you) he isn't in the CURRENT ENGLAND SQUAD.
The only way the transfer could have been criticised was in that neither Defoe or Baros can play up front alone but they have Kanu who can hold up and bring others into play. Give Jermain Defoe the chances and he will put them away and Portsmouth will make chances for Jermain Defore.
