Emery Gone, Telly Back On
Log on to Arsenal-Mania to read that Benzema is now just as good as Aguero?
Brilliant banter, mate.
Jenkinson level/10.

Now that Real is in crisis, let's hope that Perez does a Perez!
I still remember a young Benzema scoring goals for fun with Lyon and I firmly believe that Arsène could bring back this Karim.

Every player can score for fun in France, Gervinho did it, Giroud as well. Benzema scoring for Lyon is not a good reference. Anyway today he was sooo meeeh.

He was the best Real player in the first half. He is extremly important for the way theY play and could be a real great purchase for us.

he was 19 years old when he started to completely dominate every games he played. And it's the way he scores/assists that is really impressive, he was already a complete striker. Giroud/Gervinho never reached the same level in France.
It's easy to forget that Benzema was transfered to Madrid when he was only 21.
Yeah I hate it too, they almost never live up to the hype either. My point wasn't so much about "the next ....." but there just doesn't seem like there are those teenage strikers putting in dominant performances around Europe like there were a few years ago. Hazard in France is the last young player I can think of that turned everyones head, but not any strikers (maybe Lukaku at a stretch)

League is very weak
There is a core of untouchables at Real, reckon Benzema is one of them.
Mainly because the options to replace him aren't really there in the market.

Surprised they haven't gone for Aguero.

They can't bend over a barrel clubs owned by Arab money.
Arab money clubs will dictate, not the other way round.
Benzema's a top, top talent. One of the most underrated currently, and certainly an upgrade on Giroud. It would not happen though.
Benzema's a little underrated on this forum it seems. Much in the same way that Reus is a little overrated on here too.

If Arsenal signed him, well.....it would be one of the best signings of the epl in recent times.
Why?
He fits Arsenal right down to the ground. The movement, runs, speed, dribbling and finishing, he isn't just a upgrade on Giroud. He is a few steps ahead of him in every department.
Also I do not think he is utilized as best he can be as a striker in RM, he is used to get the best out the team, mainly CR. He is probably not selfish enough most times.
However if he was to come here then he could be the focal point, the one to finish of the moves.
This is the kind of signing which would bring Arsenal up to real challengers.
To be frank, I think RM would think about it if a bid in the region of 35 was actually made.

The same Goal article said we would be open to selling Giroud if we got Benzema, I'm guessing that's something to do with our other strikers being home grown.
Can't really take Goal seriously though, I'm still waiting for that Rooney and Fellaini double signing.
