Is Benni worth more than £30m?


BENNI THRILL ... in-form Blackburn striker McCarthy is the Premiership's third highest scorer with 16 goals in his first season in England

Rovers boss Hughes also believes the South African has eclipsed Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov during their first season in English football. Benni and Berba — who both have 22 goals to their name — go head to head at White Hart Lane tonight with both clubs gunning for Europe.

At £2.5million, former Porto hitman McCarthy cost just a fraction of the £10.9m Spurs paid for Bulgarian ace Berbatov, 26.

Spurs Boss Martin Jol has claimed that he would put a £30m price tag on Berba, so how much would you put on Benni £20m.........£30m? Anyway you look at it both player would fit into any premiership side without a problem. without a doubt Benni would have to be one of the the buys of the season and has quickly established himself as a top Premiership striker.
