"Poor old Benjamin, I keep calling him but he just doesn't hear me. So I took him to see Dr Ross, who has done a really good job of fixing him."

Someone poor and old = ill(a)
Benjamin needs fixing = mend(i)

That's my partial stab at it.

Going by the Times crossword style the first sentence gives Berahino:

Benjamin = the easy 1st part solution from the capital letter B = Berahino

B.... no hear ...I = the more obscure part which is an anagram and also = Berahimo

That's one down (for me at least) still working on two across.....

Especially as Trix has said no-one is even close so far, which means not Berahino or Illaramendi (even though people will continue to post that it's them)

 

[Lilbaz]

So is ben all right? Did he fall off a cliff? Thank god Dr Ross was close by.

Don't want to guess, wasting my morning trying to work the fucker out.

When did he say noone was close? He said he'd confirm the answer once someone guessed it correctly.

The above and adding 'breaking benjamin song 'sooner Or Later' .... bera will happen either way?

 

[dazzabee]

Jefferson Montero? - mate of Benjamin as in Davies. In exchange with Andros?

 

[WalkerboyUK]

When did he say noone was close? He said he'd confirm the answer once someone guessed it correctly.

And he hasn't confirmed it, meaning no-one is right....

 

[Klinsmannesque]

Berahino not happening so using Andros as bait to get Saint's to the table over J-Rod?

 

[the yid]

Therefore knowone has guessed right! Haha

[Indisguise]

I know you're new dude and probably a bit shy, but at least say something!

 

[bob.knight]

Rabiot supplementing / reversing with Stambouli

Dr Ross Gellar, Ill-Gellar-mendi IMO

I can't stop linking the Ross Geller either, Ben is his son in it too. Can't work out other bits.

 

[Spur Downunder]

My instant thought with the Dr - was Dries Mertens.
Depends if Chadli has been employed as negotiator - he does want the whole team to be from Belgium...
