If you don't think Benzema is good, watch any RM game from this season where he didn't start.

i've seen the games where he did start, that's why i don't think he's good

I'd really like a Arsenal Transfer Rumor Flow Chart featuring: Benzema, Draxler, Reus, the Benders, Martinez, 'Young French DM', 'Young English Player', and 'on the way out Real Madrid/Barca player'.

It would just be all of them to Arsenal over and over again forever, though.

Benzema is a lovely striker. That's why RM fans call him Benzemal. That's why they cry when Real Madrid doesn't buy any serious backup strikers for their team. He'll fail anywhere he goes. LOL Arsenal please spend 50m pounds on him best troll ever. Real may actually buy a good striker for once.

Real Madrid fans boo loving Ronaldo. I really don't think their opinion on any player ever should be held in high regard.

e: Actually they whistle at him but really it's the same thing.

Suarez plays as a wide forward at Barcelona it's almost as if he's expected to get assists and a lower number of goals than the centre forward. I just don't think Benzema would be an upgrade over Giroud and he's only a year younger than him.

i love it when people have no idea about what they're talking about and then get called up on it literally two posts later

also no one is saying benzema is the second coming of christ and i think there's a less than 5% chance of him coming to arsenal

he's not aguero, suarez or any other elite player but i'd have him over rooney, costa, rvp, sturridge etc so

Samuelsen isn't bad and is certainly one for the future. He just keeps getting overshadowed by Odegaard as apparently only one teenager is allowed to be good at football in Norway at a time.

We keep getting linked with Charlie Austin despite the fact that we already have a bajillion strikers. It's funny that QPR think they're going to get £15 million for him, though. Everyone knows they're in financial poo poo so that price is going to come way down.

Bets froze today so I imagine we won't get him and make bookies a nice amount of money. Obiang was the first transfer in a while we got told about beforehand and still happened. Austin would be a cracking signing if we somehow got him, apart from Sakho none of our strikers can loving shoot. I don't really see Valencia learning how to score with us either, Carroll's going to remain a corpse between Swansea games, it's not as if we don't need more goals.

RM fans are idiots, Benzema is good. Then again you're the guy who actually thought Ronaldo was the problem at Real Madrid. So, um, yeah.

I'd like him to join as well but unless we offload someone, I can't see the board justifying having another striker. We've got Carroll, Sakho, Valencia, Zarate, Lee and Maiga. Apart from Lee, they're all on pretty decent wages and Austin will cost a lot even if the price got driven down. It'd be nice but Valencia or Carroll would have to be sold (which I have no real problem with but it's not happening).

What we really need to do right now is free up some of the wage bill. Jarvis and Nolan are the big ones but who'd take them?
