Benzema just destroyed 3 Ukraine players and nearly score the goal of the internationals.

missed it any link to it

Yup... that was a heck of a move by Benz. One thing i noticed tonight: His balance is getting strong. He's starting to use his strength. He must be working on core strength and balance pretty hard.

France kit really suits Benzema.

Too bad it looks ugly. Almost like a sailor shirt.

He always had superior balance and I agree It's getting better . He really needs to start using his strength and power to take his game to a new level.

I actually thought his balance has been bad given his size. He gets pushed off his base too easily. But tonight, he put the hurting on a couple of defenders. Hadn't seen that ever actually.

whats ur thought sportsczy, think he will depart?

because of all the press talk.

theres always possibilities.

im 60/40 on it.

in favor of benz staying

I wonder how it would be if Benzema ended up staying and we bought Aguero..

Im more questioning aguero coming than benz leaving.

well, i asked because i havent read anything interesting about since the mourinho itw...

anything new? would you mind showing me?

Well, for starters, Mourinho always loves to have three strikers in his squad, so he would definitely get rid of Adebayor. But, who starts and who gets benched? Will he start with two strikers and have one left on the bench?

Too many questions can be asked on this issue but they're very hard to answer at the moment, our squad has too much quality in it, we can easily form more than five possible different starting lineups for next season with the players we have at our disposal.

I guess we'll just have to wait for the preseason and see what Mourinho has in plan for us.

@sportsczy, what's that story about benzema!? wtf

Here's an interesting tidbit... Benzema is trying to get Nasri to not make a decision yet. He may be going to Arsenal and wants Nasri to stay if he is. Nasri has told Benz he would compromise if he knew that he was coming; it would prove to him Arsenal serious about winning. Source close to France NT training...

Everyone here has to realize that clubs, players and agents say what is needed to the media at the time. It does absolutely no good for Benzema to not be super-positive about Madrid while nothing has happened.

He knows, as do most, that if Aguero comes, he is still the most likely guy out.

i'm talking about that 14 yo story...

i know it's fake but... how does he get involved in such crap all the time?

I hope Benzemas first choice club is Arsenal. Him and Nasri on the wings would be pretty nice.

Dudek on Benzema:

"When I first saw his first training session, I was impressed," Dudek said in an interview with France Football.

"I told all my friends that Madrid had signed an extraordinary player. For me, he is even better than Ronaldo, the Brazilian. Karim has incredible qualities; he is fast and he is elusive, and he has an eye for goal."
