heard this yesterday mate, the lads a tool of the highest order. he must have a pretty high opionion of himself, imagine how good he would be if he had Zouma's attitude.
with us he could have got a move to the championship or premiership, but I dont think Real Madrid have many scouts in Egypt.
Hope everythings goes breast skyward from now on Benji, you will deserve nothing less

£250,000 for a time waster....great money, lets get it invested in the team though

[CapitalHibs]

Abdel's posting on the Bounce puts the price at 500,000 Euros.

[Hibernian Verse]

£431,500 is a good price for him.

Bite their hands off!! Shame to see Benji go, but he obviously is not motivated to play for Hibs - hasn't kicked a ball in over two years. Better to take the money on offer than force him to come back and have him moping around the place, with his imaginary injuries, not to mention the impact on the other players and team spirit.

Hibs gave him his European breakthrough. Make it in Scotland, you get picked up by English teams and so on. Zemmama seems greatful of the opportunity, but Benji just acts like an ungrateful teenager, and that's harsh on us

[Betty Boop]

Wonder if he will be playing against Celtic in the Wembley Cup?

[Bob Box Fish]

As long as some of the £3.7m brought in goes towards strengthening the team then get rid. He got a new contract under TM and after shipping other high earners such as AOB and Fletch surely there is scope to aim higher than freebies from a team who dodged the delegation bullet on the final day?

Can anyone summerise the total INS / OUTS thusfar to consider the wage bill after the end of last season? I wouldn't imagine the u 19's would be on anywhere near your gatheussi's etc who were freed ?

Apparently O'Brien and Fletcher were on £4000 + bonuses each.

[Newhaven]

And to think some posters wanted to give Benji more time and yet another go

He's been playing us for mugs since the start of the 08 season. Far better off without him.

[Landells]

I'm happy Zemmamas back.

[Dibben]

Benji has been a massive waste of talent since the cup final!!

With that attitude, he won't go much further in the game!!

BH.

[stubru59]

Even if he was to turn up tomorrow, does anyone seriously believe he wants to be here?

Take the money, bring in someone who does want to be here and move on.

Yip, good ability, but a complete shyster. He says the right things to the papers and tv, but we all know he did not want to come back. We are well rid, and the moneys not bad either, if we can believe the sums banded around. And even if we got nowt, at least he's away and we are not paying him another penny.

So a much younger squad than last season - and a much reduced wage bill, I suspect.

Jones, Fletcher and O'Brien leaving will have made a massive difference to the wage bill.

did we sign Tom mcready as well or did he not get a deal

Signed for the U19s, so a small wage.

Two of them leaving will also have a massive effect on the playing side as well.

I would not care if there was a transfer fee involved or not. Get this work-shy impostor off the books as soon as possible. No way back for him now.

I'm not convinced that the wage budget this year will be the same as last season. I think the Board spent a lot on wages to give Mixu every chance to dig himself out of a hole.

Yogi certainly has headroom to bring in an experienced keeper. Maybe one other player as well.

But other players might have to leave before we see any more than two more new faces.

[Bostonhibby]

Richard the third of the highest order and I can see no reason why we would ever want a guy with this attitude back, Sometimes these things come back on you and if Benji falls on his erse or Madrid fail to sign him I will be delighted. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Not afraid to admit that I was one of the "Give him another chance" brigade.

Thoroughly disappointed in Benji if the news of him engineering a move away from Hibs is correct. His reputation says that it is.

Anyone know if we can slap a big fine on him for not turning up for training? If we can then what would be the maximum?

Benji do one.

[scoopyboy]

Benji is a good player but the bottom line is he disnae want to play for Hibs.

Get the money in and move on I say.

I would use some of his money to get Cregg and Galbraith on longer deals if they start the season well.

IMO Benji thinks he is a free agent, he always seems to be negotiating deals without Hibs knowing much about it. I certainly wouldn't be releasing him from his contract, if that is the case I would rather Hibs put him out the game until his contract expires.

[cammy1969]

i think we would be better of with benny from crossroads than benji from ? (sorry age & drink kicking in here )get him 2 £$%^

I thought it was disgraceful the way we treated this guy. I also think it's probably not done our reputation any good.

It would appear on the surface that an Italian club thought it would be a good place for him to come and develop us and improve us at the same time and never played him.
