Re: Where do you rank Benzema in all time Real Madrid
He's for sure one of the best strikers we've ever had and probably the most gifted number 9 of his generation. He's had a few rough patches over the years but except for a limited number of very special talents who didn't ?

Re: Where do you rank Benzema in all time Real Madrid
He scores a brace vs Plzen and this thread gets bumped? Why wasn't it bumped when he scored 5 fking goals in La Liga last season or his various no shows early in this season including vs Barcelona?!
Also, still think this is S or Hans (leaning towards Surag) whomever this Varangel character is.

Re: Where do you rank Benzema in all time Real Madrid
I would rule out the possibility of him being S simply because the latter is most likely still mourning the loss of Juventus at the hands of Firenze's United. Such a loss should be heartbreaking enough to temporarily erase every single iota of trolling he must have in him.
I also don't think he's hans because the latter doesn't care about Madrid enough to create a second account to troll us.
No, I really think this Varnagel guy is real...unfortunately.

Also, it's really nice to see Benzema scoring. But I would advise his fanboys to at least have the decency to wait until he starts scoring regularly to sing his praises...and not wet your pants over a brace he scored against a team that instigates a google search (as Thimmy the savage so eloquently put it).

Benzema could've scored if it wasn't for that pleb Ramos.
and If Benzema was our penalty taker in last 9 years....
Good thing Benzema FANBOYS are not obsessed with numbers.

Re: Where do you rank Benzema in all time Real Madrid
No, Benzema fan boys (a weird player to have such a rabid fan base but whatever) are obsessed with constantly trying to prove that he is some underrated genius where the team's successes are all to him and the team's failures are someone else's DESPITE evidence to the contrary for both.
You would have sworn he is Raul, Zidane, Ronaldo or one of our undeniable legends. Nope, Benzema.

Re: Where do you rank Benzema in all time Real Madrid
So every coach Real Madrid had in past 9 years remind you of trump supporters too? they were all fans of Benzema.
Benzema makes everyone around him play better and is very unselfish.
If it wasn't because of him we couldn't win CL last year and a year before that we were out against Atletico at Calderon.
so there's two CL's for you, haters.

Re: Where do you rank Benzema in all time Real Madrid
I wish they bumped this when Suarez showed everyone why he is almost 4 times the player Benzema is and we made a big mistake not replacing him with Suarez.
Re: Where do you rank Benzema in all time Real Madrid
Benzema's contributions are so meticulous and discrete that usually it's near-impossible to see them with the naked eye. You won't see him score goals or defend or press or even play well, but his contributions are there.
You could literally take him out and play with 10 men and you wouldn't notice any difference overall. But his contributions are there.
Show some respect for god's sake to a player who convinced a tiny minority of fans with a combined IQ of 80 that he's a quality player and that his qualities are not related to scoring, pressing or defending.
In a sense, he's a genius, I agree.

You should really show some respect for a player who's been directly involved in over 300 goals over the last 9 years and made some decisive contributions to our legendary achievements in the past seasons. But you're an idiot, who's been writing essays about how bad we play, how bad we are coached and run as a club during a period we won 4 CL titles and a league titles, so you don't.

Re: Where do you rank Benzema in all time Real Madrid
Benzema has been horrible for 3 years now. He was also horrible in his first season with Madrid. He also had a meh season in the middle in Mou's final year (everyone was poor bar Ronaldo).
So when you look at his career in its entirety, it's been a complete mixed bag.
The numbers you see are a result of longevity.... 201 goals in 9+ years. BUT, 20 goals or so per season in the current era and a team like Madrid is bang average for me. Nothing special.
He's been mostly shit with NT where he famously went 1000+ mins without a goal. Only shining light there was his pool play during WC 2014... and then he sucked in the elimination round games.
My verdict? Overall a decent to pretty good player. Nothing more. Did the absolute least possible with the talent he had. Big disappointment to me.

Re: Where do you rank Benzema in all time Real Madrid
Now that you've mentioned it sports, don't you think it's bizarre that France has been developing amazing midfielders, wingers and defenders but somehow it hasn't been able to replace Henry with an equally talented striker? Do you think there's a reason to that decline in that particular position?
I know Henry was amazing and should be very difficult to replace, but surely France can develop a striker more lethal than the likes of Giroud and Benzema...combined. Right?

Re: Where do you rank Benzema in all time Real Madrid
Henry was very average for France... nothing special. IMO, Trezeguet was far more impactful.
In any case, Mbappe is the CF very soon. He's going to make that move for club and country in the next 12-24 months imo. Then you have Griezmann, Martial, Dembele, Fekir, etc that are all scorers although not CFs.
Platini, Tigana and Giresse carried the attack in the 80s. Then it went to Ginola and Cantona followed by Zidane and Djorkaeff. When Henry was featured, we won nothing.. and now it's again a role player at CF to get the most recent WC.
France's success is predicated on defense, midfield and offensive creativity... not a killer scorer really. We're known for our number 10s in terms of attack.

don't you get it Benz is a crutch for armchair managers to pretend they know something about football, now 200 goals in 9 season is average when it obvious most of his rm career he doesn't take penalties, Fk or is a main scoring option, when our midfielders aren't creating anything for him it his fault, but what do you expect from a fan base that calls average guys like isco the best player in the team by a mile for doing nothing but tricks all game long, but have the nerve to call out benzema every game.
It's so obvious that a lot of posters wish they could wipe away everything benzema achieved, to write their stupid fanfic version of history, but nothing you silly little haters can you about 7th player in the club history to score 200 and 4th in CL history, let's not act like benzema never balled out in the biggest games in the club history, you guys are so full of shit its unbelievable.
If benzema finds a rhythm and hits 40 goals this season or anywhere near it, hope you guys stfu about him and take a look at the rest of the team for a change.

Re: Where do you rank Benzema in all time Real Madrid
I doubt many people would argue with his performances in his 2nd-7th seasons, even then, there were times when it was up and down. The problem has been his last 2 seasons and this season he has been garbage. There is no defense to 5 goals in the league last season in 32 appearances. None.
Where does he rank, well Idk, but his longevity coinciding with our most dominant period of our history flatters his goal tally. I'd say his rank among RM forwards is probably around 7-8 behind Ronaldo, Di Stefano, Puskas, Raul, Santillana, and Sanchez. All of those forwards are head and shoulders above Benzema, most scored more goals in less games, and most played in relatively worse RM sides in terms of chance creation. Then you have names like Butragueño, Morientes, RVN, Pirri, Valdano, Gento, Brazilian Ronaldo, who hover around places 7-15ish some of which are arguably better than Benz.
RM probably has the most difficult top forwards list to break into, so it is not a diss on Benzema, the club is just full of historical forwards with great records of goals and overall play.

I wish we still had Brazilian Ronaldo. I think his performance level and talent would have been absolutely brutal in modern football. Nowadays, you have the likes of Aubameyang scoring 30+ goals in the Premier League, Ciro Immobile scoring 40+ goals in Serie A, Sergio Aguero scoring 30+ goals despite suffering from constant injuries. Even 32 year old, Cristhian Stuani is banging in 20+ goals a season in La Liga, and is currently ranked second behind Suarez with 8 goals. These are really good times to be an offensive-minded player.

Sanchez has more goals in almost half the games, how can he be omitted? I won't get into the other ones because it is somewhat subjective, but Sanchez was objectively the better CF.
