Benni is in the shop window right now looking to attract an offer for first team football prior to the WC. For me, this could explain his recent resurgence in form.
But I'm hoping that by reminding Sam what he's capable of he might convince him to find a way to keep him in the side. A deeper role, could mean he is interchangeable with Dunn. Although, if Dunn stays fit, Benni may sulk which could upset team morale. If Dunn isn't fit though, he could be worth his weight in gold.
The alternative, playing him alongside Di Santo or Roberts, means he gets caught offside with alarming regularity.
On the opposite side of the coin, a happy, playing Benni, with a World Cup in sight, would be a massive asset.
Plus, I would hate to see him go to a PL rival - he is still a class act.
