I think Benjani was a panic/ cheap buy when Sven found out the cupboard was bare. Benjani's nowhere near good enough.

SAM ALLARDYCE SEEKS MAN CITY CAST-OFF
Blackburn target Benjani to solve striker crisis
01/08/2009
SAM ALLARDYCE aims to sign Manchester City striker Benjani.
The Blackburn boss is deperate to bring in TWO frontmen to replace Roque Santa Cruz, who moved to moneybags City in the summer for £17.5million. But he is growing frustrated after missing out on several of his targets.
Peter Crouch and Celta Vigo top scorer Kamel Ghilas are just two of the players who snubbed a move to Ewood Park. And with the season opener just two weeks away, Allardyce is now looking for a hitman with Premier League experience to bolster his strikeforce.
Cut-price
Kenwyne Jones is another name on Blackburn's list but, as Sunderland are unlikely to sell, the focus has switched to Benjani.
The Zimbabwe international is down the pecking order at City and boss Mark Hughes would allow him to head to Ewood Park for a cut-price fee.
Blackburn only have three strikers on their books - Benni McCarthy, Jason Roberts and Paul Gallagher.
