Benji

[Diclonius]

Benji was crying after the game.

Looks like he's away. Good to see he cares.

All the best Benji and cheers for your goals in the cup final.

Where's he off to?

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Wee boy at the front, shouted him over during the subs warm up and asked for his training top. He took it off and handed it over. Superb gesture.:agree:

[Sir David Gray]

Real Madrid. :agree:

I'd be happy to see him at ER next season on one condition that he never takes another penalty in a Hibs strip.

[CallumLaidlaw]

He looked truly upset at the end. Felt for him

[The_Horde]

I'd keep him, and nowt to do with my username. :greengrin

[Elephant Stone]

I hope he stays right here but wish him all the best if he decides to move on, I will never forget those goals in the CIS final as long as I live.

All the best Benji :agree:

Good luck Benji as I feel he will be away. Never quite managed to recapture the form he had when we won the cup as he was scoring quite regularly. he definitely has ability and has given me one of my finest memories supporting Hibs when we won the cup.

Only reason he will be crying cos he can no longer rip Hibs off. He has never shown he cared about Hibs ever. When he did string a few decent games together a couple years ago he linked himself with moves away. I for one wont miss him. I have regarded him as a wage thief at ER for sometime now.

That's nice

[Hibby 2005]

A bit unfair, but then Benji will only ever be remembered for one game.

Yogi was asked after game if that was benji s last game as he was upset when he came off the park,NO was the reply.:bye:

[Bristolhibby]

That goal against the Yams, which won the game 1-0. He then ran the length to give the GIRFUY to the Yams.

There's no reason not to wish him well. He's certainly given us a few moments to remember.

Overall though, the time is probably right for all parties that he moves on.

Hughes needs to add greater balance and variety to his squad. Benji's forte is as a mercurial attacker. With the likes of Riordan, Zemmama, Miller, Galbraith, Stokes, we are not short of such players.

We also have enough midfield workhorses - McBride, Cregg, Rankin, Stevenson. The priority for Hughes must be to add presence to the spine - reliable gk, big barsteward centre-half, big barsteward centre-midfielder, and big barsteward striker.

I really hope that the good result today doesn't mask the necessary adjustments that need to be made to the squad.

[chorley_fm]

probably tears of joy at finally getting a win bonus

Pedant alert!!

It was 2-1

Some jambo infamously posted on the old BBC forum during the game - 'Benji's coming on - thank god - he's rubbish'

In what way?

If we are judging the quality of posts its highly unlikely the tosh you spout will ever be regarded as class. So gies peace.

Benji is and has been awful during most of his time at Hibs with one two decent games thrown in.

[HIBERNIAN 1875]

Thanks for the cup final Benji, always remember you for that :thumbsup:

[seanraff07]

Cheers for the good times Benji, 18/03/07.:agree:

Maybe Benji was told he's staying :dunno: - tears of joy?

[offshorehibby]

While i like Benji, 4 goal a season is not what we need. A lot of dead wood needs to be cleared to bring in better players. I'm afraid Benji will be one of these players.

[Betty Boop]

All the best to you Benji son, hope you are still here next season! Love ya :love ya!:

[KeithTheHibby]

It's not a great return admittedly however I believe Benji has made something like 28 appearances from the bench?

We need 4 strikers at the club, give me Benji as 4th choice any day of the week.

:agree: As you say, we need 4 strikers. The question is whether we can replace Benji with a player as gifted for the same money as it would take to keep him.

The other question is whether someone may come in with a realistic offer for one of our other strikers - in which case, Benji might very well find himself starting games on a regular basis.

If he's been turning up on time for training, attending at the stadium on match-days, and doing whatever the manager requires him to do he can't be accused of being a wage-thief.

The season's been over how long - three hours? It's been a better day than we've had for a while now. Let's not spoil it.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

If he goes I really hope that he does not take Zemamma with him. I am sure that he is a nice guy and everything, but in reality he has not done enough to justify a new deal. Add to that, I would settle for eleven ****s in the first team if they could keep the ball down, pass and win games.

[eastmainsmsh]

For a young lad uprooted from morrocco leaving his family and friends to a new country must have been very difficult for benji imo he is a great prospect and still is .. i know he went to belgium but we all do daft things when we are young ... reckon his agents are/were wrongly advising him ... and when he posed signing for al ahly or zalamek ? was publicity stunt by his agent again ... he came back made his peace and i genuinly reckon he loves hibs and wants to stay i hope so :thumbsup:

[since90plustwo]

hope he moves on, hes not been great this season. but wish him all te best and thanks for the memories.

[Arch Stanton]

Class player - mediocre managers - all the best to him.

All the best Benji. Thanks for the goals in the cup final and the derby winning celebration.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Really hope he stays tbh.

[Leithenhibby]

As yet, He is still a Hibs player :wink: and I for one hope we keep him..:cool2:

Felt for him today though, he was well upset...:notworthy:

Are you related to the Hibs medical team and want to ensure that they are in a job next season.

Zemamma is a cracking wee player. But then an eclipse of the sun is a magnificent sight too and unfortunately they both appear about as often as each other.

:bitchy:

Didnt mean to quote you twice. Dont know what I did there

Joke of a post.

Young guy in a far off country who had to deal with all sorts of off-field stuff and a manager in Mixu who, sadly, wasn't able to help him through it.

Anyone who has ever met him will know how much he appreciates all that Hibs have done for him. And anyone who was at the game today and saw him afterwards would know that 'wage thief' is not somethingyou can throw at him.

Other than trying to find a new club when he was told he could, I don't see what he's done to merit this image many have of him. As far as I'm aware he's shown nothing other than total commitment on and off the pitch this season.

Good luck, Benji.

[Toaods]

Anyone consider the possibility that perhaps Benji has decided his future lies elsewhere?

He is an International player who plays in a foreign land...he'll get a club no bother.

A wee bit strong meethinks.

possibly a bit strong but he is not the quality footballer some on here would have us believe.

[RMG_82]

I feel sorry for Benji. When John Collins was here he spoke french to Benji which helped him with communcation problems. John Hughes doesnt even speak english so what chance has he got :wink:

The money spent on his wages could certainly be used more wisely. We don't have enough of a budget to be carrying any passengers.

He simply hasn't done enough over his Hibs career to warrant any more time and money being spent on him.

We'll always have the cup final to look back on but that is it.

Thanks Benji but it is time to move on.
