so mls all stars wasn't a friendly?

Not sure if I should be amused or concerned whether there are only 3 active Madrid fans on this board who can formulate opinions that aren't based on emotion. I'll roll with amused ftm.

The thread was made highlighting their ineptness in front of goal during our pre-season tour. While it would have no bearing on either La Liga, UCL or CDR, it is still hilariously worrying to see our other 2 forwards be so...flaccid? Inept? Bad?

No concern for me. You fail to understand the purpose of preseason. Zidane made it clear from the very beginning did he not? Why do you struggle to understand what he said. It's not like Zidane used vocabulary that is beyond Middle School grade material.

And besides, Benz actually scored a pen so this thread is moot anyways.

Those goals are not official

Anyone with above grade school intelligence knows this

You have one side blaming Benzema and the other side blaming every other player. The problem is that one side could argue that it is somewhat of a collective problem and he isn't completely to blame but the other side would never admit that.

I would put it this way:

You have the striking majority of Madrid fans (and the world) thinking Benzema is a burden and a useless nuisance taking up valuable space in the starting eleven and delivering nothing but amateurish display and embarrassing stats.

Then you have two, or possibly three, people living in their own little bubble of delusion who lie to themselves about how useful and talented Benzema is and get mad and hostile when they realize the rest of the world disagrees with them completely.

The guy sucks. It would be an embarrassment to the human intellect if we tried to make this look like a debate.
There's no debate here, Benzema sucks and he doesn't deserve to wear the white of Madrid. End of story.

Ours have a grand total of zero but John Stones has two and his headers are now on target from corners and free kicks so thats nice.

I fail to understand the purpose of pre-season. Sigh. Alright buddy. I cannot wait to see both in the Super Cups this month. Should be fun.

Can't believe Benzema is the most polarizing figure on GL. *bleep* Benzema.

Clearly, we're all intellectually challenged for underrating him, when his erection from the ashes of his past failures is about to hit us all in the face like a space shuttle launch. And Chad will be there to say "I TOLD YOU SO!! GOD DAMN IT!!".

that worthless clown will spam "isco is shitttttt" before celebrating anything benz.

i think it's because Benzema led Madrid to 3 champions league and somehow CR is getting credit for it. I would not be surprised if he is considering a transfer to Arsenal where he can shine like Neymar.

Wenger knows the price €222,000,001, just one extra euro to beat nerman

Exactly. I've never seen him get any sort of fuss like the way he does in GL.

I'm also a proud member of the "Was never involved in a Benzema debate" club, and hopefully it stays that way.

Well, I'm surprised any non Madrid fan would ever take part in this. They have no dog in this fight, they are not a Madrid fan and certainly he isn't some world beater.

Just out of curiosity, which is the biggest club who would have Benzema as a starter besides RM?

i troll benzema a lot but he is better than many Cfs out there. would start at: Liverpool, Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, BVB, all italian teams, Monaco etc...

would not start for Barca, City, Bayern, PSG, Real Madrid

I guess I meant from a more logistical/ realistic standpoint, at least that's how I positioned it in my head before posting.

Arsenal, Chelsea, and United all just signed their 9s for the season so I couldn't see him going there.

Liverpool, Monaco, and Milan came to mind for me, but I just couldn't see him going to any of those destinations. If Cavani left, I could see him going to PSG though.

No

would not start at Juve, Inter, maybe even Torino.

@chad

Torino ... lol come on now , Belotti is exciting and all but there is no doubt whatsoever if they would accomodate Benzema . Let's not go overkill here , they would just play them together , Benzema-Belotti

you can even make a case here and claim all teams in Italy would find space for him , one way or another . I'll give you Juventus probably wouldn't , no need for him when Higuain is there. But if they somehow lost Dybala and they , again somehow , got Benzema , then i don't see where's the issue , Euromax would play Benzema as 10 and he would find himself in his natural areas much easier than now at Real


Euromax ffs

its pre-season, chill out. the could be saving themselves for the season ahead. i'd rather you take it easy during the pre-season and turn it up when real ball starts, than scoring hattricks in preseason and disappearing or getting injured during the regular season

i will say though that we need another cf to compete.....NOT mayoral, chicharito et al type forwards. its suicidal going into the season with only one cf especially considering his performance or lack thereof last season. but i'm not caught up in preseason at all

The problem with Benzema is IF he had limited talent, played hard and had problems scoring... you couldn't really criticize him. That's what he would be.

But the guy is supremely talented. A top 3 talent in terms of CF in the world. Yet his demeanor, inconsistency and effort level cause him to only use a fraction of that talent. It's beyond frustrating... that's the emotional response.

He can dominate games but he chooses not to. He can be a top scorer but he chooses not to. He has his own twisted view of how he should play.

So annoying.

Dante is right, Benzema would definitely start at Juve. We need a DM.

And this is why Khedira was sold, and Benzema was not.
