If someone tells me to compare Kaka to Iniesta for example I’ll probably go with current status rather than dig up Millan games.
It’s only natural comparing most recent achievements.

Still as I said, Benz is better. On form Pedro is closer than it currently looks though

Kaka's prime was 4 years ago and he is struggling since then. Kaka vs Iniesta atm is very different to Pedro vs benzema 1 year ago.

Kaka isnt even 30 ffs, he's still in his prime he's just shit.

As for Benz and Pedro, Benz wins it all day but Pedro has had better seasons than Benz has had while at Real Madrid (up to when this comparison was brought about)

LMAO

he put the ball over the "legend" made him slip to the ground .. helpless while benzema scored...

need i say more?

So what are you trying to say? That puyol is less of a legend because he got owned in one play? With that logic Almunia > Casillas

to benz for doing that to tarzan
lol

its clear that benzema is better way than both pedro and villa atm

Lol @ Madrid fans disregarding Puyol as well.

No way dude, benzema wipes the floor with pedro at everything bar pace where benz is pretty even there.

He's overrated. Good finisher, average winger, not so good technique. Sanchez is 1000x times better then him.

I get that he's algerian and you guys are still bitter after 2 years.. give it a rest

And stats don't show the whole story as well. Karim is an execptional passer.. pedro? haven't seen anything from him

@billy_gr. Ronaldo plays as a winger, your point?

what do you mean?
to what comment of mine are you refering?

Injuries destroyed Kaka.

this comparison was actually quite close upto a point, lot of benzema worship among madridstas but he was shit for a long time at madrid till he sorted himself out.. of course the comparison seems silly now.. hindsight..

Well they are completely different player. Relatiely Speaking, Pedro is better at what he does than Benzema. Would Benzema have started for the Barcelona team last year? No chance in hell.

But now he will be a starter if he goes to barca.

No chance in hell. Barcelona are too specialised. Pedro has been within that system snce he was 17. Benzema was struggling to adapt to Madrid ffs, he would suffer at Barcelona. There has probably never been a harder team to adapt to.

sanchez has adapted well tbf, no reason why benzema cant do the same

I disagree, he struggled not because of tactics but because of maturity. I would say this. If Pep can force Cesc into that line up, he could make room for benzema, but i dont think it's ideal for either party.

as far as the head to head match up goes, Benzema is certainly a better overall footballer, who has enough talent to spearhead the whole attack of a single team. Pedro is too much of a specialist in my opinion.

The reason he struggled in Madrid was first his lazy ass then language and things like that.. now he is working hard matured and is in great shape.

Benzema is exactly what Barca need in attack. Sanchez, Villa and Pedro are not like Benzema. his great touch, passing and link up play is perfect for Barca's system.

IMO he will be a starter if he goes there.

No chance. Benzema isn't better than Villa, he isn't better than Ibra nor is he better than Henry. Once agian, Barcelona is the hardest team for any player to adapt to. Benzema will not be starting over people that have been playing in that system since they were teenagers. No chance. Pedro is specialised for what Barcelona need. Benzema would be on the bench.

How Pedro, A CL winner and a WC winner is being this underrated is beyond me. The guy is possibly the 2nd best finisher in Barcelona, actually Guardiola said he was the best in an interview, and Benzema, a guy that has done nothing bar Ligue 1 would walk into a team that requires years to adapt to properly?

Benzema might be a 'better' player in a conventional sense, but Barcelona are not conventional. it's like telling me Ronaldo would start for Barca. No chance in hell as well. He wouldn't make their bench.

i have never heard so much of bullshit lol.. sanchez starts for them easily enough despite not playing tiki taka for majority of his career
but yeah ronaldo loser wouldnt even make their bench and benzema

is arguably more suited to barca than ibra and is as good as henry was in 09 or 2010.. not to mention villa has entered into a decline now for quite some time

TBH this arguement has digressed a bit, I think Benzema is a better player, but Pedro suits Barcelona far better tbh. Benzema in this form would not have made it into Barcelonas starting 11 last season.

This is just a comparison of two players and i dont understand why this has turned into who suits which system better or in this case Barca's ssytem..

Jibers' Barca fanaticism has gone beyond boundaries

jibbers, you change your tactics to accommodate great players.

Even cesc got a place :lucas:

Yes, that;s why Barcelona are 7 points behind Madrid :lucas:

Agent CESC

well, the debate isnt really about who is better fit for Barca, is it? no one cares.

Is pedro a better player than Benzema? The answer is simply no.
