Why no Benzema ?

i hope di maria gets benched

----------------Casillas
---Coentrao---Pepe---Ramos---Marcelo
-----------------Alonso
-------------Ozil------Sahin
--Benzema---------------------Ronaldo
------------------Higuain

Yeh probably Coentrao at RB if we sign him.

can benzema play a better free role/ wing than di maria? formation is worth a shot.

how good is alonso at that position?

and when it comes to sahin, he can be as good as ozil incm position he has to start.

Benzema has more freedom playing as a winger. Alonso is our main DM anyway.

he aint really a dm though, does he have the defensive capabilities?

i mean if many call him useless during the barcelona games, would it be better for us to buy a real good dm?

or put pepe back on their along with sahin or khedira and ozil?

Well he was our best defensive tackler etc last season imo. In terms of being useless it's when he's on the ball he doesn't really keep it well under pressure.

but we need some good defense in midfield, can we create at all like that? hm it will be tricky

We just have to defend as a team.

It'll never happen with Ronaldo...

Yeh hopefully Mourinho instructs him too. It's not like we expect him to perform 100 slide tackles or anything, he just needs to get behind the ball and pressure appropriately.

I reported Boca's interest in Gago the other day.

The latest (as I suspected) is that he is "dying" to return home, but Boca can not financially commit at this moment.

Beyond that, his agent said this:

"If Fernando mid-August has no place in Madrid, there were no offers from other teams, and Boca is really interested in signing him, even offering half current salary Fernando perhaps be interested to hear the offer. "

How about just loaning him out ?

I think that would be a good idea, better than selling him for peanuts. I would absolutely hate if another Cambiasso happens.

Some of our bench players certainly have the potential to become better players elsewhere.

and you think benz has done somethign to deserve to start ahead of angel :rolleyes:

With Benzema scoring more goals last season he would suit a 4-3-3 more imo.

so higgy would step aside for benzema then

el pipas job is to score goals and we all know how much ronaldo wants to score

now benzema as well, its a flop in making tbh

That's why I hope our attack is balanced next season.

yes i do

Aguero started flirting with Real Madrid and Mou

He started some time ago.

how much could we realistically get for Gago if we sell him?

I think around 10m maximum.

we should loan out gago and sell pedro leon and if the rumors are true, use garay in the coentrao deal. I think we should keep lass as he always gives 100%.
We dont really need another striker as we already have benzema, higuain, callejon and ronaldo who can play up front. Unless we sell one of these we dont need to strengthen in this area.
