He just seems to love playing football...yes he doesnt run around like a headless chicken and throw himself about...but he does have the 1 quality that we really need - and that is a natural finisher who can take his chances. Penalty, Free-kick or whatever they all count and Benni usually takes his chances.

Yep exactly - the same player who gave up a hat-trick to allow goals for Reid & Kalinic. He had our only shot on target at weekend, which then set up a decent goal (but we didnt get), despite only being on the pitch for a short time. For me Roberts should go waaaaaaaaaaaaaay before Benni does.

Mr Motivator? He's simply telling the truth, he saved us last year and Sam planned on him being in the team in a 4-4-2 this year, but Dunn has stopped that so far! "Benni wants to play football. For me last year he was excellent particularly at home in our plight to climb out of the relegation zone. "I was looking forward to the start of the season with him but all of a sudden we put David Dunn in at Gillingham away in the hole behind a front man. "He played so wonderfully well in that game that we have continued that position for him in the first team. He has grasped that position so well that he is our top, top player at this moment in time." Also references to Dunn getting injured are not unfair either - there is a good likelihood of it to be fair, although credit must go to Sam's team who have so far kept him fit for a good run of games.

Quality wasnt he. A nice Volley & a 25 yard free-kick. He would be awesome in the prem. Exactly what Arsenal need to purchase!!

60-70k? Who else are we talking about then? Whats happened with Janko & Zigic? They usually get linked to every team!!

2 strikers on loan Nicko? Heskey being one?

Not on loan The club wont allow Benni to leave on loan - however would consider a permanent sale if a replacement is available and the feee is acceptable. I think he will get his chances in the next few weeks though..and prove to Sam he should be kept.

Id try this one out --------------Robbo-------------- Chimy -- Samba -- Nelsen -- Givet ---Emerton----NZonzi----MGP----- --------------Dunn-------------- --------Di Santo--McCarthy------ It gives us the ability to play both Benni & Di Santo + Dunn, it also allows us the 2 centre midfielders (Emerton & NZonzi), however would require us to get Emerton to also help on thr right, and have Chimbonda bombing forward to support him when on the attack - therefore effectively leaving 3 centre backs to defend any counter attacks.

The problem with Benni is that he doesnt run around like a headless chicken (see andrews) and because of that, people get on his back. If people realised what exactly he brings to the table (goals) then they would realise we need him and that he should be waaaaaaaaaay ahead of the likes of Jason Roberts!

Maybe the agent talk will bring some interest and maybe some decent offers worth considering? Suppose it all depends on where Sam see's Benni in our plans. Its a shame because he is a natural goalscorer that on his day is fantastic to watch. Unleash Benni against Pompey!!

Yep taken is a very good film. Keeps you hooked too which is what you want from a film. Im not really sure why it got slated by more or less every review!!

We have 1 natural goalscorer with bags of top level experience at the club....Benni McCarthy - lets not sell/ loan him! I would rather see Roberts leave any day of the week, over Benni!

Pro-zone cameras track each player.

Didnt turn up Cocker? Gutted!

Seriously? I never knew that.

Any news on any games that are like Far Cry 2 online game play? I love that against the other players - there needs to be more new games like that........

Just been to Maddisons at Bolton. Its run by the owners of Magiamos & Latino Lounge. Quality Italian - best Italian iv had for a long time!

Played 7, lost 7 - ouch! Hart will surely go in the next week or so.....

Il Torro (Italian) - Horwich was very good tonight.....8 people all very happy and a fair price too.

I was considering it too - anyone!??!

Pavillions - at the lights near Asda, is supposed to be good. Never been so cant comment.

Sorry - I had a blind moment when I looked the 1st time and couldnt see it!!

Derbsyhire would be a starter? He would now be 6th choice - behind Benni, Roberts, Di Santo, Kalinic & Junior

Cheers Tris - is it expensive there anyone know?!

Where/ whats that one mate?!
