The topic was not straying severly off topic. Like I said, there is an option to start a new thread. If we want to hammer down on any slightly off topic things on here then there'd be a lot of topics locked.
Kenny I'm off to bed in fifteen minutes, so I'll make one last fist of it that might get through to a few. Up to now, one or two hae grasped onto the idea. Here it is.
This topic, as defined by the title is Yossi Benayoun wants games at Anfield or he'd like to leave. I can safely say we are all perfectly clear on that one point. Benayoun plays or Benayoun goes. But this topic was not going down that route, instead it was going down a route of who should be sold instead, which is not what the topic is about in the slightest. It's a very specific topic, it's about Yossi Benayoun wanting games. Now no matter how fancy people try and dress it up the departure of Lucas Lieva from Liverpool will not in any shape or form give Yossi Benayoun more games in a Liverpool shirt. That is what this topic is about, Yossi Benayoun wanting games. Now instead of saying (by the way I know you personally haven't) "I'd rather see Lucas leave" or "Lucas should go first" people may try and explain how Benayoun can get his wish of more games. If, by some confused reason, they feel Lucas being sold would give Benayoun more games than they should explain that view, but when a topic is about a player wanting games there is no reason to mention another player being sold who isn't stopping the first player.
Here is a prime example, if this was Insua saying it and not Benayoun, then I'd be first to say sell Dossena because it's hurting Insua's progress. They play in the same position and Dossena is hindering the progress of Insua. But since Lucas being at the club is not stopping Benayoun from getting the number of games he wishes, then saying "lets sell Lucas instead of Benayoun" not only does that leave Benayoun with the same problem, it is going completely off the subject as to why the topic was created. But because of people's desperation to see Lucas go, this thread has since become a joke anyway because it's no longer about how we can solve Benayoun's problem of not playing, instead it is about how Lucas fits into the situation at all.
