Sheva. 5,373 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I give up, you Americans are hopeless when it comes to foot...soccer Anyway we don't need Benzema, especially for the amount Madrid will want for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker10 946 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I give up, you Americans are hopeless when it comes to foot...soccer What does being American have to do with knowing soccer or this topic for that matter?My mate is a big Real Madrid fan and i have seen enough of Real Madrid games to know that Benzema can play on the wing especially in AVB system.

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Benzema cannot play on the wing. And I don't know which Real games you've been watching as Mourinho always plays Ronaldo right, di Maria left and either Higuain or Adebayor down the middle.

And I don't know which Real games you've been watching as Mourinho always plays Ronaldo right, di Maria left and either Higuain or Adebayor down the middle.I'm pretty certain its vicea-versa with Ronaldo and Di Maria since that puts them both on their shooting feet at goal and they both operate as inside forwards...too a degree, but I'm certain Ronaldo plays from the left In Mourhinos 4-2-3-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
termninja 5,290 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I just can't stop laughing at this thread and seeing us buy Benzema to play on our left wing :541:Oh and BL, CR was playing usually on the left side and Di Maria on the right, though they were switching sides sometimes.

Spike 12,049 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I really like Benzema, I believe he is along with Higauin the best young striker in the world. However I struggle to think of a way he would fit in with our system, perhaps he could play behind Torres as a secondary striker.Maybe he should stay at Real Madrid or we could sign him just to spite Arsenal, seeing as they really want him (even though he is completely out of their price range.)

My point is Mourinho uses wings and a central striker, and Benzema never plays out wide unless he's coming on as a sub to fill a gap for 15-20 mins.

chrismada9 1,948 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I don't think we need him. I rate him as a striker, but I really like the idea of bringing Falcao to the club simply because Boas knows his qualities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how much have you seen of Benzema.And no Mourinho does not always play Ronaldo and Di Maria on the wings, he rotates his players. Seen Ozil, Higuain, Benzema and even Kaka at some point playing on the wings.Watch the second leg of the Spanish super cup against Barcelona, where Benzema was Real Madrid best player and most dangerous player on the left wing.

Anyways, Benzema and Higuain are in good shape. I like Higuain more, but i would be happy with Benzema too lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 To say our strikers ain't firing is harsh on studger, he is being written off after a brief spell as the main striker. Rather than pine over players who are not going to come here anytime soon I'd like to see danny given a try for a sustained period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Benzema and Higuian are in very good form right now. They create chances for other players and they score a lot. But the score a lot because they get service from every player on the pitch and if they were playing for us they would only get service from three players: Mata, Lampard and Torres.
