Benat

[oasismcfc10]

The lack of links to Benat recently worries me. We could really use a deep-lying playmaker, and here's a damn good opportunity to sign a great one. I really hope there is some negotiation going on that the media does not know about between us and Real Betis. Benat would give us something we do not have.

he would be a good signing but where would he go? surely not replacing Yaya. He would take the place of Barry, Garcia most likely. But the problem than is do we have enough defensive cover.

He could come on for a DM if we're having trouble breaking down a team that parks the bus. He has the creativity and the vision to feed our attacking players in these situations. I would also like to see us try a 4-3-3 like this:

Hart
Zabaleta-Kompany-Nastasic-Clichy
Javi Garcia
Benat-Yaya
Silva-Dzeko-Aguero

I do agree that he might not be the best alongside Yaya against attacking teams, but he'd be very useful for our club. We spent 7 million on Sinclair, a winger we rarely use. Surely we could spend some money on a deep-lying playmaker who would be excellent at unlocking a parked bus and playing long balls to our attacking players.

it certainly has gone quiet on the links to Benat front... hmm

Or any other bugger, for that matter.

Quiet before the storm.

No, nedums, there will be not a sausage until the summer. We aren't even hearing rumours about anyone.

He has really gone off the boil from what I have seen, it might have put teams off. I watched Betis' last two games and he was wretched and subbed off in their last game. But it's possible he's been overplayed and just out of sorts, they rely on him so much.

Banega is coming back from injury and looking good. We should have options come the summer.

Reports in Spain that Valencia are looking to sell Banega and bring in Beñat.

I like them both but Banega is considerably better despite his troubles.
