I just don't see how Benzema is any different from Ade. Yes on their day they are both unplayable, but that day is 1 out of every 10. Benzema has been awful for Madrid.

Let's be honest, Defoe would score a goal every 90 minutes for Madrid too. They play poor opposition a lot and he is surrounded by the best players in the world setting him up or poaching on the chances they create. It just seems like a weird signing seeing as we have Soldado...Neither would be happy with a backup role.I guess you haven't been following Benzema then.
Granted he's surrounded by world-class talent, but he's still easily one of the top 10 most productive and efficient attacking footballers in Europe.
Just last year alone he generated a total of 16 goals and 17 assists in ONLY 2215 minutes of play for RM, which amounts to either a goal or an assist every 67 minutes! That's fucking amazing, regardless of his teammates or what kind of form he's in.
And yes, he's been sort of out of form, but imho he's all worth his £33 million price tag (or whatever it is ATM), because under proper guidance he will be completely unplayable (as you mentioned above).
PS. That's not to say we're going to sign him (in fact I don't even know if we're in for him tbh).
Could be a diversion for some other signing. I don't know. But I do know that I am more than happy with all of our current Summer acquisitions. Can't complain, tbh. Just gotta break everybody in, and we're set. It'll be fun trying to come up with different formations and lineups to fit everyone now, imo.

The last update is usually a good place to start looking
Who: The Goat
When: Just now you slags
Where: Here. Duh.
Further to update 389, it seems we are trying for one of two players. Our source is happy for us to name one of them, which is Benzema. The identity of the other he asks that we keep to ourselves. Although he has agreed to allow an A&C cryptic.
Are you sure you can handle that?

Hope you're all aware that Marca (yes I know) say Ozil has turned Arsenal down.
