Karim Benzema

[bluesman2610 1,417]

He is very tricky one. At one point he can be realy world class (just look last season and some part of this one) but sometimes he is realy bad. In NT he is worse than Torres for us I fear. Could be because of rotation with Higuain and not playing all time, but he might need different club to fuly evolve.

His style suits us realy well, he has superb link up when on good day but he is too much of gamble for us to afford. And he is certainly not going to Chelsea for less than 25mio...

like you I think he would be fantastic here.. with mata hazard and oscar behind him even de bruyne.. I see a lot of goals there and to me interms of what he brings to the team with link up and ability to be unselfish and pick a pass would serve us well as well.. 30m would not be bad if we want to spend an additional 20m or more to bring in falcao or cavani

I'd have Karim, if he got himself back into the form from that season he won La Liga, there's no doubting his ability just his work ethic is shit and he is a bit of a greeting shitbag with slight attitude problems. 20-30m would be a decent deal. Plus he'd be undisputed first choice here where as Real he might not be depending on if they sign Suarez or another striker and also keep Higuain.

If it was between him and Higuain, ill take him every time.

[The Skipper 20,609]

I'd take him any day. He'd fit in fantastically here. Maybe he needs a change of scenario to truly realise his potential. Benzema at his best is absolutely unplayable. Fantastic player on his day in my opinion.

Well, we have a whole Deadline Day to figure it out if it is true! Don't rule out anything!

So Chelsea will sell Torres to Inter and replace him with Benzema on deadline day? Those journos need to cut down on FIFA manager mode!

Ikr, but that it would be awesome, sure it would!

LOL

But Benzema is not that much better than Torres, tbh. He has the footballing IQ of a goldfish.

I like Karim Benzema, one of my favorite players. But I'm not sure he fits this Chelsea squad. He's not worth the money when he isn't a HUGE upgrade over Torres.<br /><br /><br />Sent from #PacerNation using Tapatalk<br />

Arsenal and Chelsea among those keen on Karim Benzema as Real Madrid say he can head elsewhere

[Mufassir08 2,400]
