Hernandez for Benzema swap.
Hernandez for Benzema swap.
Benzema hasn't really become the player we thought he would be after moving from Lyon, hasn't he?
He's a brilliant goalscorer but very few top teams start one of those off the shoulder, poacher type strikers any more. Is he really going to displace one of the Madrid forwards with how fluid and versatile they are?
He will score goals a plenty over in Spain.

I thought Fergie's decision to start him against Barca in the Champions League final was one of the most bizarre decisions of his career.

Yeah I wasn't really convinced at all but I suppose he was in good form at the time and maybe they thought he'd do well on the break.
If players like David Villa and Benzema are stuggling with goals, I would not say it would be certain Hernandez would have a field day either.
Messi and ronaldo make the league look easy, but it really is not the case.
I sort of covered that with "he's a brilliant goalscorer". I'm not criticising him, but it would be pretty disingenuous to say he wouldn't start more games if, like Welbeck, for example, he was more of an all round footballer than a poacher (that's a more limited description than I intend but you know what I mean). The modern trend of one up front and versatile forwards who interchange a lot goes agajnst him a bit.
No offence to Hernandez but Madrid already have a superior goalscorer in Higuain. Nonsense article.
Is he a superior goalscorer though? What has he got this season?
That hardly defines his ability now does it. Hes clearly a superior finisher.....
Sadly, I can see him leaving before then Gaeilge. The amount of respect I'll have for him if he stays patient would be infinite, but I just can't see it and I don't blame him.
Everyone has one chance, and I wouldn't be surprised if he decided that he doesn't want to spend a couple of years or so being the super sub with the odd starting spot.
It does if you are calling him a "superior finisher"
Not sure what point youre attempting to make ? Does his record in previous seasons with Madrid not count then?
Do you think Hernandez is the better finisher?
You are sidestepping my questions by asking your own. I asked what Higuain's record is this season and you are yet to answer.
You made the claims that he is by far the superior finisher, so I ask you why is he and how do you judge that if you don't base it on goals?
Eh what?
Of course Im basing it on goals....
You seem to think that because his record is slightly worse than Hernandez this season that hes the worse finisher? Not exactly solid logic is it.
Again I ask you do you think Hernandez is the better goalscorer?

I never said I thought one was "far superior" than the other though, unlike you.
My opinion is they are both fairly equal in terms of finishing and their records overall reflect this.
Hernandez has a total of 230 matches, 105 goals, 35 assists.
Higuain has a total of 291 matches, 138 goals, 59 assists.
They both score roughly a goal every other game at international level too.
Perhaps not such a gulf in class as you suggested?
I never said "far superior". You seem to have made that bit up.
I simply said that Madrid have a superior goalscorer. Its not a negative on Hernandez.
Because he scores more goals ?
I don't think Chicharito will ever leave Manchester United unless the club doesn't want him. He seems to be enjoying his time with us and you can't help but think he really is the new OGS. A lifer for me.

I doubt that. At some time he is going to make some cause about giving him more chances and starting big games. You dont want to be like a supersub your whole career, especially when he reaches his peak in a few years.
