CHOULO19 24,332 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Just one question: Why are we assuming the Real are willing to sell? I mean he's their first choice striker and he's still pretty young. And even if they do buy another striker, the talk is that they're going to sell or at least loan out Morata in the summer, not Benzema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. They even funded half of Bale's transfer by selling Ozil for £40m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozil left because he knew he won't be a starter when they signed Bale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Half of bale??? So illaramendi, isco what were these guys?Don't be so childish.They bought Illaramendi for 40m. Ozil left because he knew he won't be a starter when they signed Bale. Come on. You're forgetting that they also sold Higuain for €40m, Callejon for €10m, Albiol for €12m and Pedro Leon for €8m(?). Add that to the Ozil fee (€50m) and they've raised quite a bit of money - Higuain covers Illaramendi; Callejon, Abliol and Pedro Leon cover Isco... And Ozil covered half of Bale's fee.They didn't spend as lavishly as some are trying to make out. In the end they only spent around €50m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Carvajal? Casemiro? Come on, they gave a huge FU to FFP last summer. Come on, Carvajal and Casemiro came for a combined €12.5m. Spending €62.5m is well within Real's comfort zone and is in no shape or form an FU to FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spending €62.5m is well within Real's comfort zone and is in no shape or form an FU to FFP.It is because they sold Ozil in the last couple of weeks and without prior planing of doing so. They looked for a long time, and could have easily, ended the window with spending over 100 million pounds than what they've received. Besides, why should they care about FFP? Can yuo really imagine UEFA banning them from the CL?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheva. 5,373 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Surprise, surprise, Benzema in another slump. 1 goal - a tap in - in his last 10 games.And this while playing for a brilliant attacking team, in a league where a lot of teams actually try to attack.Yet, some people want him here because he can pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see why some wouldn't want him here17 goals in 2605 minutes in la liga. 153 minutes per goal. definitely not much to boast about. (costa has scored 27 and assisted 5 in 2937 - 108 minutes/goal. even lukaku has scored 14 and assisted 8 in 2500 minutes). his finishing is erratic to say the least. and he definitely wont come from RM's first team to sit on the chelsea bench. which means his direct competition is costa (or even mandzukic). so he kinda is a NO-NO.

His record for France is pretty lol in comparison.Anyway Real Madrid fans i see on other forums complain about him endlessly; inconsistent and wasteful.

Barbara 15,149 Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 His stats are hugely inflated because of the players around him. His record for France is pretty lol in comparison.Anyway Real Madrid fans i see on other forums complain about him endlessly; inconsistent and wasteful.My Real Madrid friends on Twitter - who I've known for a handful years - love him, either way, my friends or yours opinions mean nothing really. Look around this very forum in the players threads. You'll find people hating on everyone from Cech to Torres. I guess the only player I've failed to see some dislike in the almost one year I'm here is Terry, and lately no one has a bad word to say about Azpili.I'd like to have Karim here. Much better than all and any strikers we currently have available.Everyone else - including Hazard, Lamps, Iva, Cech - have their 'haters' or at least people who don't like them currently.

Costa is the focal point of his teams attack Benzema is not he's secondary in the final 3rd.. That could be why his numbers are as low as they are but I digress I think people who want Benzema would rather him than Costa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
