Medhi Benatia

[Vinci]

Meh, he's basicly Moroccan, believe me. The Dutchies on here will know.

I am Dutch.

 

[Heisenberg]

Not exactly a starplayer!

Don't complain. My lovely country gave us John "Faxe" Jensen and Nicklas Bendtner.

 

[razörist]

Yeah, feels like Wenger's having a Walter White moment.

 

[BBF]

I am Dutch.

 

[razörist]

I am Dutch.

Oh hi! How cool! Sorry, I did not know!

I meant his wife, his upbringins in Rotterdam, with Boutahar and El Hamdaoui, the whole Afellay and RVP saga at euro 2012, the way he acts etc!

 

[nmn]

Yeah, feels like Wenger's having a Walter White moment.

Be quiet! Heisenberg's here!

 

[Trilly]

£100m bid for Pogba incoming.

I would die of dehydration. Yep.

 

[Vinci]

One of the best scenes from BB.

 

[Kingslayer]

Yeah, feels like Wenger's having a Walter White moment.

Tread lightly, Jose.

 

[Hyper D]

Doesn't look very Moroccan.

What is a realistic fee for Benatia?

Bayern paid around €30M two years ago. Now, he is 29, which is a less attractive age transfer wise, and he is not an important player for Bayern.
Around €15M-€20M? Depending on competition from other clubs?

15 M is about what it is rumored to be. Benatia is the type of ball playing defender Arsène likes. If he can stay healthy, he would be a great pick up.

 

[BBF]

This is a pretty good signing if you ask me, but it'd be a quality signing if we got in another body at CB like we should. Bit dubious because Morocco have already qualified for the AFCON, and his injury record at Bayern isn't pretty.

 

[razörist]

Doesn't look very Moroccan.

Yeah, cheers mate, welcome to the party!

And on a (un)related note, the time that nationalities correspond with looks have passed!

He'll be home in a week, don't worry about that! Elneny may take a while though.

 

[BBF]

I hope so.

 

[RandyMarsh]

I know it kind of makes sense - great CB, available, not too expensive.. but his injuries? Come on, the state of our medical team and we want to sign a 29 year old who's been injured most of the season. Would welcome him, but skeptical about this one.

 

[razörist]

I hope so.

 

[Hunta]

I hope so.

 

[Hyper D]

We need a boss in central defence next to Koscielny. Per is finished and Gabriel cannot be trusted.

Benatia, Mustafi or Koulibaly - there's no excuses not to bring one of them to the club.

 

[razörist]

I walked right into that one.
