Karim Benzema

Watch the first preseason game when Ronaldo started as striker vs roma

and the next game where benzema started as striker vs man city.

Perez is stupid, but not that stupid to sell benzema.

It's not about being stupid or clever. It is about building Real Madrid in his image. Benzema for better or worse is one of Perez's chosen players and until a bigger name joins the club Benzema isn't going anywhere.

A Perez Galactico only leaves when a bigger Galactico arrives.

The only shot Arsenal have of getting Benzema is if he decided he wanted to be the "main man" elsewhere which would be a nightmare for the rest of the League. Thankfully he's happy at Madrid so they have no reason to sell consider only one other striker in better than him.

Rumors is that he will sign for Arsenal next week and might even attend their game against Liverpool on monday to watch, wtf surely this can't be true? Rumored fee of £48m which is just about right for him, not overpriced imo.

Really hope this is bs

don't rate him...

This is one player I absolutely detest the thought of him at Arsenal. Think he'd be a hit there.

Definitely, that's why I'm praying to whatever I can that Madrid don't sell him to Arsenal!

Think he blows hot and cold at times but you can't doubt his genuine ability though, he is incredibly gifted technically, links very well with his team mates and obviously he knows how to score goals, if he went to Arsenal and was a hit they'd be up there for the title for sure. I think he's scored like 15-20 goals plus each of the last 4 or 5 seasons at Madrid, which is impressive considering Ronaldo basically plays as a striker too and there's times you think he's just not gonna do anything.

Can't see it happening. No reason for Real to sell, they don't really need the money and why would they sell their #1 striker with just a couple of days left in the market? Even if they were to play Ronaldo as striker as some have suggested, they still are left without a good backup.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

and then real will left without strikers? no...

I always have fun reading people here talk about "Rumors" when no one is generous enough to tell which rumors. Pure fun.

Real Madrid will reach a new level of stupidity if they sell their one and only proper striker in Benzema.

[marketing media pet 27]

the only stupidity we can see are from arsenal's fans... haven't they learn enough about rumours like this ? vidal, etc lol

FSW is planning to use Ronaldo as ST and Bale as CAM in 4231 formation with James and Isco either side so looks like he will be benched this season unless something changes and maybe they think for £48m(60-65m euros) atm is a very good price that they won't get again if he ends up with like 10 goals by next summer due to this.

Brilliant striker that is very nicely suited to Arsenal. Definitely a great transfer for them and a player to take them to a new level. I'm hoping Real could go for Aguero if Benz leaves, that would drastically weaken City.

Think I read that somewhere but I don't think it's going to be a permanent thing. There will be times Benitez will go with an out-and-out striker and they're going to need Benzema. Money is money but Madrid aren't desperate for it and they will be daft to weaken their squad strength with only a week left in the transfer window.

Benzema -> Arsenal

Aguero -> Real Madrid

Could be a blessing in disguise.

Benzene -> Arsenal

Aguero -> Real Madrid

Could be a blessing in disguise.

But that's not going to happen, not this summer.
