DECISION TIME: YOSSI BENAYOUN.

As we all know, Chelsea have to register 25 players and no more ahead of the new season for the Premier League and Champions League competitions but we have a problem. At the moment with our new signings, promotions and returning loan players, we have 31 players in our first team squad.

Remembering that although he is listed as part of our squad, Patrick Van Aanholt has already been loaned out this season with Vitesse again.

So RDM needs to make a decision about certain players and so I have decided to open debate on the six players I believe are the ones in danger of being cut from the squad, sold or loaned out.

First up is the returning Yossi Benayoun.

The Benayoun debate is an interesting one because being honest, I am not his biggest fan. When Chelsea signed him a few seasons ago, I was disappointed because I believe if you make signings, you bring people into the squad to provide INSTANT competition to the existing members of the team. At that time, I didn't believe that was the case!.

As we have seen here at Chelsea, he has struggled to make an impact overall and is in danger of being sold or loaned out again this season. He was far better for Arsenal that he has been here and that's probably because he knew he would play most games.

I think Benayoun's situation could totally change for the better if RDM sticks with the 4-2-3-1 formation from last season.

Benayoun could play a big part in the team as one of the three attacking players in behind Fernando Torres and as we all know, Torres loves playing with him.

What do you people think? Do you think Benayoun has a future at Chelsea or will be one of those players that RDM decides isn't a part of his plans?

KTBFFH!
