khay 10 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Ex-mackem train claim Free agent Benjamin Mwaruwari aka Benjani is reported to have been training with Newcastle in recent days, as he looks for a new club following his release by Man City. The 31 year-old Zimbabwean striker who ended last season on loan at the stadium of plight has been linked with a number of top-flight clubs. However the Mail newspaper speculate that the player's contract demands aren't likely to represent "value for money" for the Magpies and he'll not be retained. Benjani was a Portsmouth player when he scored against Newcastle at SJP in November 2007 during their 4-1 win. From www.nufc.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TicTacWoe 0 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 really don't need Benjani, I'd rather an obscuro championship striker who's young than Benjani, an aging one season wonder who was never particularly good imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7626 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 No thanks. Could never understand how he came to be valued so highly so quickly and all despite his advanced age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 892 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 He had a purple patch at the start of 07-08, scored 12 I think. He only scored 17 or 19 for Portsmouth in 70 games at the club, so that tells you about his scoring rate apart from those few months. Trash, always has been, I would like to think we wouldn't touch him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46564 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 I signed him on FM10 for our return to the Premiership. Which should tell you everything you need to know about how good I am at that game, and how well that return to the Premiership went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14021 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 "The Benjani rumour is just wrong - he hasn't been training with us - and there is nothing in the Gary Hooper rumour either." Thank the lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
