Swedish media reports that Chelsea watched BK Häckens 21 year old ghanaian striker Waris Majeed. He scored a hattrick today against Syrianska and have now scored 22 goals in the swedish allsvenskan.

He is really a quality attacker and is probably going to leave the club in january, should be cheap aswell.

Everyone knows Messi will rule the planet this season, he always does :(

By rule the planet i meant that if benzema does enough to become a starter yet again over higuain then that could be the end for higuain at real madrid because after almost half a decade of benching each other, this thing where they share minutes has to come to an end eventually. Hence benzema wants to leave because that declaration of being starter has not been given to him yet.

If one striker prevails over the other, then that might make mourinho play that sole striker for much more time than the other, because the sharing of minutes has hurt them both in that they cant hit that form and stride an undisputed man like ibra, or rooney can, as a player.

Hence one of benz or higuain will leave by the end of 12/13 i guarantee it, and for chelsea for me higuain would be a good idea at the very least, not benzema though.

Benzema has stated many times he wants to be an SS type of play, he wants to be a mix between a 10 and a 9, he wants to give goals, while scoring them, hence his reluctance to make runs in real madrid a typical 9 like higuain would do.

That means that since chelsea is filled with playmaker type of players like oscar, mata, hazard, going to chelsea for benzema would be kinda stupid. he wouldnt be able to play the way he wants, he'd actually have to play next to another striker in my opinion, while also taking the place of one of the 3 attackers mentioned.

For the kind of player he wants to be, it would leave chelsea in a situation similar to spain's in which fabregas has to be the goal scorer while the whole bunch of play makers behind him struggle to really find a goal scoring reference.

In madrid that isnt the problem since the main attacking drive runs through the left flank and ronaldo, while benzema backs it up while getting support though the middle and right side.

Higuain for chelsea would be great, benzema would not. It could work but the whole front line would have no reference up front, it woul be a pack of creative guys trying to put a ball inside the net, like having mata, silva, iniesta, and a goal savvy fabregas, not enough imo. Look at france, nasri sucks so much donkey d!ck that benzema tend to play over him behind giroud even, to provide assists. Actually hes provided assists to ribbery and diaby i think it was.

Let me add, that the leaving of one of them could lead to the arrival of falcao as weird as it may sound to some considering the benching issues.

Imo chelsea might just add up with a striker from madrid ( falcao, higuain, and hopefully not benzema) i would not like benz to go to chelsea not only because i want him at madrid but it wouldnt be good to him or chelsea.

So if Benzema continues starting for Real then Higuain could possibly leave. Seems quite odd as the likes of Di Maria and Ozil get a fair amount of assists so surely a number 9/poacher would suit Real Madrid as well to get on the end of crosses from Di Maria, Ozil, Callejon, Ronaldo/whoever else and rebounds from shots in the box. If Ronaldo was to get injured then surely Higuain would be really useful for Real, as he'd be a major source for goals if them players could provide crosses/passes in behind for him, rather than Benzema who doesn't (as he showed for France during the Euros, where he played absolute bollocks.)

I reckon Falcao will still end up at Chelsea in the summer. Wouldn't really mind like I did with Sheva in 2007 but when will Roman learn not to buy the manager to use players he doesn't necessarily want!

You see the problem is that we have to look at the big picture. If benzema turns into the principal striker of madrid he'd be able to score goals, and provide help to ronaldo which is the main attacking force, at madrid he arguably has a very good setup, he scored 32 goals and assisted 15 last season, if he had 1/3 or 2/3 more of the time higuain took from him he could have scored 40 goals and 20 assists, he can play well in the system, along with that benzema provides so much more than higuain, that in the end, if we were to choose i dont think there would be an argument for keeping higuain over benzema.

The problem is that they have to share time, and benzema is getting sick of it, what he could do here, he will do somewhere else if given a good chance. If ronaldo would get injured is not enough of an excuse, if he gets injured then benz turns into the main attacking threat, which is even better for benz, higuain cant lead a team the way benz does, the perfect situation would be to have benz and a super sub, not 2 world class players who have to share minutes and stop them selves from "exploding" their potential.

Falcao? I buildt an argument, as to why realistically, real madrid could go after him if benz gets sold, go to the falcao thread to read it, its all over the spanish media, shows, marca, as, el confidencial, sport.es, florentino is working on reworking his relationship with atheltico in an attempt to set up the process to buy falcao. in there is also the rumor benz WANTS to leave with valid reasons. As mou said, a club like real cant afford NOT having two world class strikers, the problem here is ronaldo, which wasnt a problem when we had MORIENTES, RAUL AND RAUL/RONALDO although the raul/ronaldo bit arguably started the downfall of raul's prime.

Benz and higuain could play together but there is ronaldo. Benz and ronaldo is arguably the best partner ship in the world but it fails to reach its top because benzema doesnt reach peak because of higuain and vice versa.

Lol higuain is selfish and never has been a big game player, benzema is the exact opposite.

Also you have to analyze things well when saying that he played bullocks, france played bullocks, the lack of creation forced him to be played in the area behind the striker, he never was the guy upfront, he was the main guy in a cluster fck which ended in failure.

Hopefully they start understanding that it is best to put benzema not as sole striker, regardless of what a

Di Maria -Ozil - Ronaldo

-----Benzema--

would tell you, its more like

Di Maria

Ozil Ronaldo

Benzema

Di Maria helps defend, cuts in, ozil drives the ball forward with help from di maria, alonso, and khedira, he is good at driving forward, ronaldo comes running down the left, benzema controls while also commanding at front

Much better than the dry france system of euro 2012

http://www.zonalmarking.net/2012/06/06/euro-2012-preview-france/

AHHAHAH Ribery provided width that led to nowhere, nasri was non existant, and putting malouda at the midfield would show you how lacking and desperate france was.

Near the end of their adventure they change

Still a disaster but could search for something at the break, and nothing else, and failed. France had no chance.

Also, how bout david villa? This guy is being ostrocized, the benefit of the doubt is being given to the fact that he needs time after his injury, but its fact that he has problems with messi, and has played 30 some minutes in 3 games, he wants to leave, specially if the rumors of neymar arriving at barca are true.

Villa could and probably is facing his last season at barca.

A 31 year old villa for 15 million, or even less, would chelsea take it? :blink:

VILLA IS HAVING BIG PRObLEMS WITH MESSI AND TITO FACT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOxoStwv0w0&feature=g-u-u

You understand spanish and the video above is fact that says villa is out. Unless he's given the place of undisputed starter. and even at that, his position at barca really damages his ability to do his best.

David Villa knew that he would eventually have to be satisfied with a bit-part role at Barcelona.

I wouldn't mind Villa joining Chelsea as long as it doesn't stall the progression of Sturridge and Lukaku.

He knew it but he is not happy, the problem with barcelona is that they have not brought the right players in their attempts to bring in players to maximize messi.

Villa only joined barca beacause he wanted titles, now that he has problems with messi, with tito, he doesnt play, and when he does play he doesnt play where he should ideally, rumor has it hes even had talks with juventus, and this comes from a very close guy to villa's group of close confidents.

They sold eto'o, they wasted almost 200 million on failures of ibrahimovic, affelay, sanchez, and arguably villa ( hed ba a failure if it wasnt for the 10/11 campagin) shame on them. Barca has been garbage at transfers.

Afellay is such an awesome talent, I was surprised when he joined Barcelona....he was apparently very close to signing a contract with Arsenal.

He is loaned in shalke now, he was a guardiola signing, was injured, turned irrelevant with guys like cuenca and tello, and isnt a tito signing, could go to arsenal eventually imo.
