This would certainly come out if we did sign him.
Karim Benzema

I think that he mentioned Chelsea and Madrid yesterday when he spoke of a cash tsunami.
Fingers crossed he keeps that passion for longer than a few seasons. Until he realises that his true dream was to play for Manchester City or Real Madrid.
Doubt it, Benzema, if the stories are to be believed, doesn't even want to play in England. Just this week someone from Lyon mentioned that once he does leave it will probably be to Real, as that's were he wants to go - then again, that was probably Marca reporting that.
I am referring to the article a few posts up. He only mentioned us.
Marca indeed reporting it. Hearing it on SSN, but the man actually said " but the again, this was reported in Marca."
United need to sign him or eto'o
Did this interview really happen?
Yeah I have the magazine here beside me it also has interviews with Vidic, Van Persie and Sergio Ramos in it because it was for the last 16 of the champions league
That is pretty good then.
I actually think they has all changed with ronaldo's transfer to madrid. Maybe Benzema would relish the challenge of coming to a Manchester United team without ronaldo and doing what ronaldo done for us.
Marca are also reporting that Real are currently negotiating with Inter Milan for Zlatan. Yet the only player that they haven't been rumoured to be bidding for is Benzema.
Would love him at OT as i did last season before paying over the odds for Berbatov.But judging from these quotes Lyon will try and squeeze the club dry for his services.
apparently he had a poor season....still the little I have seen of him...he looked impressive.
just give them 45 million and let it be done.... we will still have 35 mill left of the ronaldo fee, we can get douglas and valencia for that. Buy moutinho or de rossi with the rest. IF this happened i would wank for 6 days solid and rest on the 7th
Quietly hoping
I still want Sneijder, Ribery and Benzema this summer. :x
£28m-£30m should do
I'd be hesitant paying £45 fecking million
knowing lyon and considering todays market, i doubt that would be enough..... 45 might be excessive i agree but i wont be surprised if he goes for 40mill
whats funny?
aulas....
hmmm... i wonder which club have lots of money available, possibly from a big transfer fee received, to get involved in a bidding war for karim benzmea
We'd get 80 back in 3-4 years time. Almost double your money.
I honestly believe this close season is a one-off
I would be shocked if we got Benzema for less than we paid for Berbatov. £45m is pretty realistic imo and he would be worth every penny.
Just get the checkbook out Fergie, Benzema would be our most exciting signing since Rooney.
An unoffical agreement perhaps for letting the winker transfer go through?
The muppet in me has arrived:
---------- Van Der Sar ----------
Rafael - Ferdinand - Vidic -Evra
------- Carrick - De Rossi -------
- Valencia - Berbatov - Rooney - (these 3 giving some mad interchange)
------------ Benzema ------------

You did not have us signing Marek Hamsik as well, with a part of the Ronaldo money.
Weak. Benzema is all we'd need. Valencia is no better than Nani.
--------- VDS ----------
Raf -- Rio - Vida -- Evra
--- Carrick - Hargo ---(Fletcher for Hargreaves if you like, most likely really)
Nani -- Rooney -- Ando
------- Benzema ---------
Where's the Berbs?
On the bench.
for me...
-----------Van Der Sar
Rafael----Rio-------Vidic------Evra
-----Hargreaves----Carrick
Valencia-----Rooney----------Nani
------------Benzema

Pretty sure that Benzema isnt coming too us!
Some of the best football I've seen over the last 3 league winning seasons was the first halve of 06/07 when we blew teams away. What we has then and haven't has since was fit Saha.
We need a big target man who can hold the ball up for Rooney, who knows where the goal is and who has 'presence' in the box. Berbatov was never this player but Benzema is.
I think we could him for 30M plus add-ons and we should JUST DO IT!

Great argument from the dyslectic. I'd obviously put my money on Jarmon's thoughts.
Time for cock out?
Looks like he's on his way then?
Pass the Brasso!!!!
Pass the Brasso!!!!
What is going on?
If he doesn't want to play for us what is the point in hoping?

no worth more than £35m.
Pretty much agree with everything, although I feel that I would like to give Berbatov regular first team action too. Berbatov's touch and Benzema's finishing could be a lethal combination. Berbatov & Benzema sounds like a good partnership in letters at least. With Nani and Rooney on the wings, a shame to put Rooney out wide though. What about this?
Van der Sar
Rafael Ferdinand Vidic Evra
Carrick Hargreaves
Rooney Anderson Benzema
Berbatov
Rafael Ferdinand Vidic Evra
Carrick Hargreaves
Rooney Anderson Benzema
Berbatov
Put Berbatov in the middle mostly because both Rooney and Benzema has the speed to be out a little bit wide, like Messi and Henry in Barcelona.
