Re: What Is Benzema's Current Price Tag?

something-red wrote:Same price as Higgy is about right. The guy is quite clearly talented. Just not working for him at Madrid. He needs service. Other than Isco (who is still quite raw) I don't see one playmaker in that Madrid squad. You have Alonso, but his days are numbered. He's sort of been out of form as well...

Oh he gets service, that's not the problem:

by Red Alert Sat Oct 05, 2013 8:40 am

He's struggling with confidence issues as well. It doesn't help him that he's always going to be second fiddle to Ronaldo and be just another passenger in the side. Add to the fact that he gets booed from his OWN fans which is a disgrace. Like I said in another post, he needs to be the main man just like he was at Lyon as he is a confidence type player. He needs to move. Just like Higgy did in the past summer. He missed a few chances too. Majority of forwards out there rely on that confidence to perform. Talent only takes you so far.

it went from this

not working hard enough ---> getting critisized by fans ---> had a beast game vs gala ---> fans didnt care, still booed him --> now has his confidence ruined and feels 0 appreciation anywhere, making it hard for him now

tldr our fans are shit tbh

Di Maria has been overrated to the max ever since his Benfica days...

Benzema turned full pro at the age of 19 and became a full starter at the age of 20 in 2007. Here are his total stats per year at club level only and in significent comps only (league, CL and main cup... no supercup or crap cup).

2007-2008 Lyon, 31 goals and 6 assists
2008-2009 Lyon, 23 goals and 3 assists
2009-2010 Madrid, 9 goals and 4 assists (only poor year as a pro)
2010-2011 Madrid, 26 goals and 7 assists
2011-2012 Madrid, 32 goals and 15 assists
2012-2013 Madrid, 20 goals and 20 assists

He's 25. You should go compare that to people on his age category. He blows almost all of them away DESPITE rotation.

Again on pace for 20+ goals and 20+ assists this season.

25 million at max? rofl. his price is 40 million at least.

How many games did he play in those 6 seasons?

Regardless, that's 141 goals and 55 assists in 6 seasons. And he's played the last 4 seasons second fiddle to Ronaldo and being rotated with Higgy and having a serious allegation out of football to worry about for a year or so. But yeah, average player. GL logic. Laughing

by danyjr Sun Oct 06, 2013 9:55 am

Wouldn't sign him even if he was offered for free.

And please don't compare him to Suárez using league stats. One plays for the top two team in La Liga, the other plays for EPL's laughing stock of past few years (no offence).

And one has done so much for his country while the other one's going to be dropped soon.

by Red Alert Sun Oct 06, 2013 9:56 am

Suarez is better. He's definitely more complete and has carried Liverpool playing for an inferior true for 3 seasons now. That's true.

But Benzema IS world class. The moment he leaves Madrid, the moment everyone will see his talent again.

Why you quote yourself ? hmm

by VanDeezNuts Mon Oct 07, 2013 12:02 am

2 more years on his contract.. id say madrid dont let him go for anything less than 40-45m if hes sold in the winter transfer window.

but if he has 1 year on his contract come next summer he could go for a discount.

my guess is if he doesnt perform in the first half of the season or carlo needs a different type of striker hell be let go, if he steps it up and fulfills his potential madrid are definitely going to sign him up on a new contract, and the discussion will be moot.

by Mr Nick09 Mon Oct 07, 2013 4:59 am

after this season he has a year left on his deal. So either he gets renewed or he is sold (or we can always renew him now to sell him for a higher price in the summer).

at this rate, it's unlikely that he improves so much that he will clear out all the doubts about him. So expect him to get sold. I dont even understand why we wasted our time trying to commit on him this year.

good player, will be a lot better in his next club, he came to madrid way too soon.

Because it is as if people on here are mentally ill. Saying numbers that mean nothing. I mean, is it that hard to understand that the market decides his price? Seriously? :facepalm:

What we have here instead, is a bunch of couch economists making numbers out of thin air. or maybe they are privvy to some information I am not aware of...

I'm not angry at all, this thread just doesn't make any sense. How can you say what a player is worth when you don't know how much a club is willing to let him go for... it makes 0 sense.

I think this is much less a case of everyone else being "mentally ill" and much more of you completely missing the point here jibers.

Your previous quote adds nothing to the discussion. Everyone here who has ever bought anything in their lives knows that the price that you pay is dependant on demand and supply. In this scenario, demand = how many clubs want Benzema?, supply = 1 Benzema, a unique product currently under contract at Real Madrid. Wow. What a revolutionary concept!

The idea of this thread is that we think of factors that would influence his price and propose a hypothetical answer based on our reasoning. Yes, this is obviously an exercise in speculation, but it's not intended to be anything more than that. How could it be any more than that? We are only fans. If this sounds foolish to you, I would suggest to you that all fans, including yourself, speculate on transfers and/or results of games on a daily basis.

There is difference between saying a player is 'worth' something based on nothing and saying your club should/will get a player.

by Forza Mon Oct 07, 2013 9:14 am

It's not based on "nothing". How do you think clubs decide how much to pay for a player?

Is the player playing well?, Do they get injured frequently?, Do they have a bad attitude?, Are they unfit?, What position do they play?, What is the market like at the moment?, How much have similar players sold for?, Are there any alternative choices?, etc... the list goes on and on. This is what I mean when I said you've missed the point.

You're still missing the point. It's about how much you (as a fan) think that a player is worth. I don't think that Bale is worth anywhere near that much, but someone else might think that he is. Obviously someone at Madrid did. This thread is not about making an accurate prediction, it's about sharing an opinion about a player's value. I don't expect Galliani to read this thread and say, "hey, Forza says we can get Benzema for 40m". It's just a football forum man.
