2017/18 Beni Baningime

[Penno]

Riley B King - the BB stood for "Blues Boy"

I saw him in Manchester in the 90s supported by Peter Green and the splinter group! Phenomenal

He certainly didn't look out of place. Did play like Morgan a bit and would've been nice to give him some options going forward. Hard to judge him in the pass when it was mostly back and sideways safe passes.

Makes it a lot easier to sell McCarthy, though, and that would be wonderful as we are going to need cash inflow to get a striker, a CB, and a younger LB.

 

[Groucho]

sigh

He already looks sad. Oh well we have him for a couple of months.

I said similar, the author of the article (a Blue!!!!) was rather upset at me for feeling perturbed by it.

Why did koeman spend all that money on midfielders when there are players of that quality in U23 side.?

And bring back the lad from Anderlecht.

Have to say that a big factor in Beni’s performance last night was Unsworth , who did the very simple thing of allowing him to play in his best position alongside two other midfielders who knew that their jobs were slightly different. Unsy’s being doing something similar with Beni at U23s , he’s been the holding mid , always playing the most defensive role while others like Denis Adeniran playing alongside him are more attack minded. Beni rarely shows any real attacking intent , say compared to Tom Davies, which makes him a different type of player. Unsy plays to his strengths, lets him do his job and this allows others to play further forward. He’s still developing and shouldn’t and won’t play every game but he’d be ideal for those times when we want to throw off the shackles and just play with one deep lying mid surrounded by hard pressing attack minded other mids.

Impressed with him, very composed. As far as debuts for young lids go I don't think he could've done much more. Hopefully that'll give him a nice boost of confidence and keep him around the first team setup more often.

I know we have just put him on a new contract but we should probably extend it.

He looked a top player, in his debut playing against the champions away from home. He's like Gana but better in possession and at the moment every top team wants their own version of Kante after what he has done for Chelsea.

He may not be creative but he holds and uses the ball well. Very important qualities if we want to win the midfield because there's no point in winning the ball if we just hoof it back.

Excellent debut. Could prove very useful

 

[Groucho]

Reckon we could get a sponsor for this thread @GrandOldTeam ?

If he carries on like this he’ll need a contract extension.

 

[DanB90]

Next years transfer kitty.

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

He went into that game understandably a little nervous but left the pitch saying to himself I can definitely do this.

Done him the world of good for his confidence will that last night, great debut from an 18 year old.

 

[Michael Tsui]

Can't be certain but it's probably Bah-knee-knee-meh

Most probably Ba-NI-ngi-me.

 

[SiEdmo]

Most probably Ba-NI-ngi-me.
