Would be funny to see him pushed out by Madrid. He's one of the few reasons they're competing with Barca this season. At any other club in the world he would be shown great appreciation.
You've got to laugh at some of the names going around of who Fergie is supposedly interested in. Since when did he let the press know about these things anyway.
He 'd be ideal although I cant see it happen, Madrid arent that stupid are they?
They seriously can't be that stupid! They really can't!
Don't doubt the infinite stupidity of Real Madrid.
does this mean they'll buy berba off of us?
It looks as if United are discussing some kind of deal with Madrid.
according to what? Oh lord please please please please please please please please let this be true. Please.
Don't get too excited. It maybe Rooney or Vidic to Madrid.
Rooney's going nowhere.
It could be Vidic, but it could also be Carrick, or Anderson, or Berbatov.

Why would Real Madrid ever want any of them?
Have to agree, Madrid don't mind selling to recoup a bit of the money they spent so no one has to be sold/exchanged on our side.
I'm still holding a sliver of hope on benzema who i would rather over higuain tbh

£25m is a joke.
Where did you get that from?

Drugs are bad, mk? Benzema has been absolute rubbish this season, while Higuain is second in La Liga in scoring. I really can't understand why anyone would want Benzema over Higuain. Since joining Madrid, he's been a spastic and can't handle it. United won't be much easier for him. At the same time, Higuain gets a load of shit for a missed chance against Lyon and keeps up his performances.
I tried to find it last night but couldn't. Decent article too. I tried to trace it through history but I'd been on so many sites that I couldn't be arsed.
I don't base my like or dislike for a player off one season though. Benzema was a force for Lyon and all the French national teams. He was a dominant player at euro 08 and made a silly move to Madrid. When we played them in the cl he scored against us using power and skill which will help him in the prem whereas higuain is used to spainish football.
Don't get me wrong, higuain looks a good player. A bit selfish though and if both are offered I would go with Benz regardless of his one poor season in which he didn't settle into his new team and system.
Hmmm, Benzema has 8 goals in 27 games with France - 3 of those were against the Faroe Islands. I don't remember him doing anything at the Euros. He is a talent, and in the longterm he might be better than Higuain, but there's a reason why he hasn't been playing (and it isn't Raul)
Meanwhile Higuain is still trying to get a better contract out of Madrid - so anything's possible.
True, I may have been thinking of the qualification leading up to the euros since France did have a poor euros. He has undoubtably struggled this season but I don't think that makes him a rubbish footballer, it took higuain two seasons to find his feet too scoring 10 times in 50 games over two seasons.
