Was there not some qoute from Karim, when Mourihno wanted him to work harder, he said something like 'I'm here to play football, not run around'.
Dunno too much about Benzima, but there must be something to him. Signed by Real and striker for France. And £12mill is not astronomic money. If you could get him playing, he could be a really good signing.
I remember when Anelka played for LFC, he was a bit of a risk at the time but he really came on and did well for us (and was probably a mistake not to sign him in retrospect). He could be a moody b***ard, but he did it out on the pitch. Benzema strikes me as somewhat similar to Nick (open to correction though).
