I'm worried he might stay.

It would be a non-issue if we had nothing to play for.

If I was a goalie & had Benatia in front of me, I'd be tense as well :D If true, that is an issue, of course.

Idiot(s)

Sure, but where was everyone else? Benatia caught watching is one thing, but he was the only player in the vicinity of the ball, surrounded by 3 opponents. I thought last night was one of his better games so far. Even if that means absolutely nothing, obviously :D

He was his usual self. The opposition was better than usual. Let's just leave it at that :D

So much drama over his performance. While I thought he was no worse than usual.

Nah, what could possibly be wrong about paying 17 million & high wages for a 30 year old back up CB, who isn't even reliable to begin with? Weirdest deal in many years.

Starting with 4 CB's or 5 should depend on whether or not we'll stick with the 4- man backline. I just think that 18 million is an awful lot of money for an average defender. But I obviously don't know the price of every other defender. Not to mention that Benatia is a fairly big earner as...

Benatia is the definition of average. There's really no point in spending any money on him.

Of course he has. "Not convincing" doesn't mean he's a terrible player. But as far as value for money goes, it's just not a good deal imo.

:tup: He has been far from convincing most of the time.

Good point :D Seriously though, I was "lucky" enough to attend the Lyon game & you could visibly see Barzagli getting more fed up with each passing minute. (Not only with Benatia though, obviously.)

Except, of course, against Lyon. Where he really couldn't be bothered to do anything at all. "I'll let the other guys take care of it."
