I reckon Chelsea will miss Yossi as much as we'd miss Joe Cole.


By the way, where would Yossi play under Roy? He'd be nowhere to be seen. Literally... nowhere.

Liked him in his time for us but he hasn't exactly endeared himself since he left so I'm meh on the news.

Sorta get well soon but don't hurry back.
I'll always keep in my heart the good times I've had here, the strong and loyal support of the fans in the tough times and the love from Liverpool. I have no words to thank you enough for all these years and I am very proud to say that I was your manager.

Never nice to hear of such a bad injury, but he was clearly off his tits to join Chelsea in the first place. He was never gonna get many games there. Should have either stayed at Liverpool or taken a step down to get more games

The amount of time he plays doesn't matter, he's captain of Israel, so his place is under no threat whatsoever, he's gotten a massive pay rise since he's moved to Chelsea, and he's guaranteed to win a Premier League medal this year.

You're right.

We could have used the bastard especially now that kuyt won't play for a while.

I don't have any bad wishes for the guy,he worked hard during his stay in Liverpool.but I didn't get why he criticized rafa badly,even until his injury in Chelsea,he wasn't getting any minutes so WTF was his point?rafa helped his career,used him effectively and he thought he d cut drogba or anelka and show benitez what he's made of??

A bit odd the medical team didn't find anything.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/oct/13/yossi-benayoun-chelsea-achilles-injury

Yossi Benayoun perplexed by Chelsea's failure to spot torn achilles

Yossi Benayoun has admitted his surprise and dismay that Chelsea's medical staff "missed" detecting the seriousness of an achilles injury after the Israel international was tonight ruled out for up to six months. The 30-year-old midfielder, a £5.5m signing from Liverpool in the summer, will travel to Finland on Sunday to have surgery the next day at the clinic of Dr Sakari Orava – the surgeon who operated on David Beckham in February – after Chelsea confirmed the findings of the Israeli national team doctor, Dr Mark Rosnovsky, and finally pinpointed a serious tear to an achilles.

Benayoun had been dogged by a tendon problem since the beginning of the season, with his club under the impression that it was treatable with careful management, only for scans at Tel Aviv's Assuta hospital to reveal a more disturbing reality. "The truth is that this entire situation is very strange," Benayoun said. "I had three MRIs and three ultrasounds and they all said that there was no problem, and it was just a small tear.

"I came to Israel ready to play and they told me it was a big tear. Chelsea were sure it was something small. They have compared all the images and they do not understand how they missed it. They said it is unusual to have such a big tear and not be in terrible pain. Even now I am not in pain but I cannot take one step by myself until I undergo surgery."

Benayoun has not played since apparently tearing a calf muscle in the Carling Cup defeat to Newcastle last month, though he was permitted to travel to Israel – via a visit to Marijana Kovacevic, whose treatments include the use of fluids from a cow's placenta, in Belgrade – to join up with the national squad. He had travelled still hoping to take part in his country's Euro 2012 qualifiers against Croatia and Greece. But he must now hope just to return to the first-team before the end of the current campaign. "I hope Chelsea have a successful season so I can come back and help win trophies in the final weeks," he added.

That's his opinion.

And looking at an x-ray isn't as straight forward as it may appear sometimes. It happens.

Hell, I had a dislocated knee and the x-ray's didn't show it as clearly as an American air force paramedic who noticed I was walking wierd ten day's later and asked what was wrong.

He got me sorted with their medical team who did another x-ray and spotted my knee was out of place and putting me in terrible discomfort. They had to yank the knee back out and back into place and that in itself was hell....

But, it happens.

Daddy Yossi did you ever win anything as a footballer? Yes I did son! I won a Premierleague Champions medal with Chelsea!! Wow dad thats brilliant - did you score lots of goals? No son, I came on for 20 minutes against West Brom, 5 minutes against Stockport County and I was out injured for the rest of the season. So you sold your soul to the devil basically daddy? Yes son, but at least we've got 55 houses instead of just the 42 I'd have been able to afford at Liverpool (or 6 and a caravan at West Ham)

Edit: That sounded funnier in my head...

In the last couple of seasons he got plenty of playing time. I thought he couldn't wait to jump ship basically. Shame because I loved him when he was here and we really miss his ability to pick his way through a packed defence. I don't think we were looking to sell him though were we? I could be wrong.
