      Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)
      Jan 09, 2015 02:38:01 pm
      I'm surprised this hasn't been started yet as has been in a few papers 'gossip' columns the last few days - and it has as much chance of happening as the other threads we've got going on here at the moment!!

      To meet the forum rules here is one of many of the links I've seen (this one is the echo);

      http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-fc-transfer-gossip-benzema-8395542

      I actually reckon this has a small chance of happening, probably close to deadline hour if at all, providing the following conditions are met first;

       - We can shift Balotelli on
       - Madrid can find a suitable replacement (Falcao mentioned in a few of the reports)

      I reckon he will be a great fit for our team (much better than mario anyway) and although no spring chicken, at 27 (just turned) he still has 5 good years left in him.

      This has been started before, but most likely deleted or locked as it's a non story :)

      I'll say it again, Benzema is overrated, though better than our current active strikers :p and for £50m that's been quoted, ;D!! I personally don't think he's better than Sturridge as a #9, so why buy someone less superior and then for us to shift Sturridge in the Suarez role?

      For me, if we can't find a striker on par or better than Sturridge as a #9, then we should look for a forward that'll compliment Sturridge.

      Sounds legit. Playing for one of the biggest club in the world, just won the CL last season, guaranteed CL, trophies, big wages, playing with world class players. Why wouldn't he come here? Just look at where we are at the league table.

      even if we were after him, why would he choose us. Hurts to say it but we are not good enough to attract these kind of players. Before you say we are a big club, try to see it from a neutral pov.

      Benzema: Things are not well. Je suis bleu. I am le tired of Real Madrid.

      Benzema's agent: Sacre Bleu! Bennie my boy you have made it. You are paid thousands of euros a week to score many goals for ze best team in ze world. Why would you dream of moving?

      Benzema: I am un bon player, oui. But all I hear is "Ronaldo this. Ronaldo that. Ronaldo built a museum to himself. Ronaldo donated a statue of himself avec un grande packagé to his home town. Ronaldo tres sexy. Why can't Karim be more like Ronaldo?" And when it is not Ronaldo, it is le sheep shagger. I can't even understand a word he says. I want to be ze hero for once. So they say Karim is better than "man" who shaves hair off his body than ze french women.

      Benzema's agent: I understand Bennie. If your heart is set on going to be your own man. I understand. Have vous thoughté about where you want to go?

      Benzema: Dacorde, I cannot stay in Spain. I need a fresh start. Le Italian pricks have no money for a man of my calibre. It must be ze land du eternal rain.

      BA: Ah, so Manchester City then? Zeir owners have killed many poor people in ze middle east to make money to buy Yaya a Birthday caké. Maybe they can buy you?

      KB: Mais there is ze problem. They have Yaya Toure, Aguero and David Silva. True players of class and quality.

      BA: So not Chelsea then either. What about Arsenal?

      KB: I never liked that Sanchez c**t. What about zat funny northern team? Won a lot things a long time ago, not done much recently. Came second last year? The one where ze bitey one came from.

      BA: You mean Liverpool?

      KB: Oui! Who have they got? They must have boughté many stars from all ze money they got for the biter.

      BA: Ah. Ze have Rickie Lambert.


      And the rest is history.

       Not to be pessimistic or something but how we come to be linked with so many High earners, when we know that LFC are almost every window trying to make wage cuts
       this and others like it  will never happen , unless they(players) accept a big wage cut which I doubt
        I am convinced  that , we will not sign any ready made star player  who is already on a high wage ,in the near future
        Obviously I hope  I am very mistaken, and the club will prove me wrong

      Seeing as though him and Ronaldo were having a good little laugh to themselves whilst playing against us at Anfield in the CL; I'd pass on this one.

      Bizzare speculation. Journalism in football will be a thing of the past if crap stories like these continue to surface.

      Besides, he is one of Ronaldos greatest ever servants and also a top top player above all.

      From the benzema thread to the danny ings thread.

      As much chance of us signing messi as benzema. The days of us going after the very best players ... showing ambition etc are long gone.

      We came 2nd last season ... the chavs 3rd. They signed costa and fabregas ... we signed lambert and lovren balotelli etc and sold suarez.

      The very best players, who command the very best wages are nowhere near to being in the plans or blueprint/model of the club.

      Its not all about big players, big money and wages etc ... but when these players become available and they can improve the first team ... we have to go for them ... but we dont and they end up at chelsea city utd etc etc.

      Then we get the 'its the bright lights of london town excuse' Last time i checked ... manchester is only up the road and they don't have any problems.

      Benzema wont be going anywhere to the summer. We should sit tight with what we have until the end of the season. And then address our shortcomings by bringing  in quality over quantity ... thus breaking a habit that stretches back over 20 years.
