Benni is better than Mido, compare their careers. Look at the age of Mido and how many clubs he has played for, how many arguments and incidents he has had. If he had came to us and had a great season, he would immediately want to leave. I understand that Benni is doing this to some degree. But just imagine how Mido would have done it. Mido has had his chances at Spurs, hes been there two seasons now, and done nothing to make me think he is a good player.
EDIT: also i shudder at the possibility we could have signed Thomaz Radzinski
