Guest johnson293 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 So £2m being touted for both Ben Haim and Wes Brown, I'd take both for £4m to £5m! Me too - however, I would be happier if we were also looking to sign another left back, if Enrique is struggling to settle as quick as hoped - then at least we can release N'Zogbia to get forward regularly again. With letting Babayaro go, we really only have Enrique as a recognised left back! Can Brown and/or Ben Haim play left back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_69 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Presumably Fat Sam is intending to use Faye as competition for Butt in midfield and sign Brown as cover for RB and CB. If we sign Brown i don't see the need for Ben Haim unless he plans to sell Cacapa, Rozenhal or Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sign Brown i don't see the need for Ben Haim unless he plans to sell Cacapa, Rozenhal or Taylor. I think Allardyce at one point said he'd like 2 players for every position on the field..? 2 CB spots, 4 players, makes sense to me. edit: Actually it doesn't, my math just sucks. Oh well, Rozenhal sucks anyway, apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ridzuan Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I actually think Faye would do a better job in the centre of midfield than in defence.Anyway,I dont think he intends to get both Ben Haim and Brown together,I think he just want either one of them here.

steve_69 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 In that case we need to sign 2 creative central midfielders a left back and centre back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Crikey, 2 more centre defenders? That would make 6 good quality centre halves we have at the club. Thats possibly a little too much for my liking. That would really fuck us up, theres 15 different combination fo centre halves there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.S.R. Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 So, we could have got you for free, but you told us to fuck off. Now you proved you can't hack it, and we've got to pay £2m for you - Here's a big fat contract as a reward! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact id say 80% of them are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Knightrider Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 If we did sign him, he'd probably play at LB where he played quite a lot for Bolton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 would like to see him here tbh. and i dont think £2m is a bad price, i know he went for free in the summer as he was out of contract, but he isnt now so £2m is fair if you ask me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 If this does happen though, would people say there was something dodgy about the dealings about signing a defender for £8m who was available for Free 6 months earlier? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 What a get out of jail free card we got when he signed for Chelsea instead of us. He is s****. And now he is valued at £8m, what a fucking joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 http://www.football365.com/story/0,17033,8652_3429275,00.html Chelsea defender Tal Ben Haim has claimed he would never have joined the club had he known Jose Mourinho would be replaced as manager by Avram Grant so soon after his arrival. The Israeli had been a target of the former Blues boss for some time and, having failed to secure a move from Bolton in the January transfer window, Ben Haim moved to Stamford Bridge last June. However, within three months the man who had persuaded him to leave the north west for London had departed Chelsea. Ben Haim has played just six matches since the turn of the year - just two of those in the league - and has not featured since an FA Cup match against Huddersfield in mid-February. "Jose Mourinho is the reason I came to Chelsea and if I knew Avram Grant was going to be the coach then I would have signed for another club*," Ben Haim told The Sun. "It was Jose who brought me here and no one except he and I know the conversation we had when he tried to sign me the first time a year ago last January. "The fact is while Jose was the coach I played most of the games and people who know me know that I would not have come here to be a reserve. "I knew that nothing good would come with Grant as Chelsea coach." * Us Anyone want Ben Haim now? I'm pretty happy with Faye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Not really worth signing someone who'll expect first team football here when its debateable as to whether they're better than what we already have (and none of our lot are exactly world beaters).

Newcastle Fan Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Overated..was a disaster at Chelsea.. you think having a manager from the same nation would've benfited him but noo... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 If we're gonna get a centre-back, i'd like us to spend a wad on someone top class tbh. A Brown or a Ben Haim won't improve us imo. We've already got players that are as good as, or better than them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate End Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 We might be dreadfully short of centre halfs in the Summer considering Rozenhal nor Cacapa have made a impact its looking doubtful either will stay and make a impact in English football. What Ben Haim has is good Premiership experience I wouldn't be disappointed if we signed him. We missed out on the top centre half we are looking for in Woodgate during January hopefully there is a centre half of his standard around in the Summer somehow I doubt there will be.

Conjo Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Rotting in the reserves on giant wages in Chelsea, og rotting on the bench on giant wages in Newcastle - there isn't much difference. If he came here, we shouldn't guarantee him a place in the first team, and he wouldn't come unless we did so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
