No doubt he's a talented player, the video below shows some cracking goals at club and International level.

If we do sign him, I am confused as to Rafa's tactics next season. I have thought for a few years now that we lacked a decent left winger. Pennant had a good run towards the end of the year. He bossed Ashley Cole in the Champions League semi and I think will have an excellent year for us.
But, in my eyes, we have no one on the left that can run with pace and centre a good ball. I see Benayoun coming in off the wing and scoring goals inside and outside of the box. But I dont see him as being a player that will be happy to sit on the touchline, wait for the ball and dink a lovely pass to our number 9.
Maybe the team we go out with next season wont play a conventional 4-4-2 and be rigid in its' approach. I have an open mind but I am yet to be convinced, lets put it that way.
However, I have
ultimate faith in Rafa, he knows what he's doing.
