Karim Benzema | sweating his old fat ass off and no rescue coming from the PL awww diddums

[Glorio]

We have enough behavioural issues in this squad and can't afford a character like Benzema in the mix. It's like we never learn - we have a go at owners for not doing their due diligence and then turn around and think it would be a good idea to get this guy in when we're trying to instill a better culture in the squad.

Also, such a move solves nothing long term

 

[Shane88]

He is on €100m net(!) per year. He is not going anywhere.

He's been there 6 months. He's probably thinking; "€50 million is fine. Time to move on."

 

[Idxomer]

He achieved all he wanted in his last few seasons with Madrid, he retired when he left them.

 

[Catt]

Because his wages in Saudi is almost half of what our entire first team is earning combined.

Haha, good point!

 

[Catt]

Not OP but, wages, Varane and Casemiro not having the best of times here and Ratcliffes alleged distaste for older, past their prime signings. I agree with Croadyman, I just don’t see this happening.

Tbh, I agree with that. We should stay away.

 

[Mainoldo]

Perfect player for what we currently need. Sell Tony and bring him in on a 18 month contract.

 

[Mainoonited]

Worth a loan with option to buy?

 

[Mainoonited]

Jesus, stay away from Benzema, even Saudi pundits are calling him lazy.

This changed my mind.

 

[Red the Bear]

Would be ideal for Rasmus to learn from,however not gonna happen in a million years

I mean we do have a history with signing an aging striker. Wouldn't oppose it. After all, the last time we signed an old striker that in January it either propel us to title winner or get us in top 3. Win win imo

Jokes aside if it wasn't for his seemingly bad attitude since leaving Madrid and insane wages it would be a no brainer short term move.

 

[Andy_Cole]

Absolutely would do a loan option. Pay him £500k/w for 6 months. Could get us top 4 and we may even keep for next season too. We need goals!

 

[Longlivekeano]

No! 5 years too late

 

[CallyRed]

When will fans ever learn

 

[Gazautd18]

This isn't serious is it?
People don't really want him here do they?

 

[matherto]

If we sign Benzema and he's terrible then none of our fans are allowed to complain about our recruitment/squad building ever again.

Honestly people.

 

[klayton88]

Let's sign him to a 4 year 300k a week deal.

 

[arthurka]

Yeah let's get a blackmailing teammate into this fragile group of boys. Plus didn't we all agree on stop signing old fecks.

 

[Oranges038]

He is on €100m net(!) per year. He is not going anywhere.

100m, is that all? That's just loose change to the Saudi's.

 

[90 + 5min]

No, no, no, no and more no.

There was a time in his earlier career he could have been a good signing but that time has passed.

 

[The Urban Goose]

Would be ideal for Rasmus to learn from,however not gonna happen in a million years

Isn't that what coaches are for? People were raving about Benni McCarthy last year.

 

[tomaldinho1]

Hard pass

 

[Pronewbie]

I wouldn't mind taking him on a 5 month loan for £15M total cost if in return Sancho goes the other way for £55M.

 

[The Urban Goose]

As for Benzema, yes, let's deal with Greenwood and then sign someone who had an underage prostitute, rumoured to have had a 15 year old, and tried to blackmail someone over a stolen sex tape. Just the character we need.

 

[Morty_]

I thought buying aging declining players was part of the problem at United, now some fans wants a player who has mentally checked out?

 

[Gordon S]

No! 15 years too late

Corrected

 

[tomaldinho1]

Some fans still just look at the name I guess.

 

[CallyRed]

Yeah but this time it will be better

 

[spiriticon]

I'd take him for a year or two to help out Hojlund.

 

[Mainoldo]

How about you just be a football fan and stop acting like the music you listen to on a regular aren’t tainted artist. Stop this stupid cancel culture.

 

[Semper Fudge]

Change the thread title @Samid, well out of date.

 

[Acrobat7]

Absolutely would do a loan option. Pay him £500k/w for 6 months. Could get us top 4 and we may even keep for next season too. We need goals!

He is currently earning seven(!) times that.

 

[KirkDuyt]

Dude's 36, what's wrong with you people. He's basically retired.

 

[Winrar]

No thanks. Over the hill and would cost a fortune.

 

[Oldyella]

If at first you don't succeed..

 

[TheRedHearted]

Seems the situation with the club is getting pretty bad.
Cheeky bid in jan?

Hi Mr. woodward, hope you’re holidays went well. Manchester United aren’t keen on paying Benzema 200 million a year at this point.
If it’s to play in a better league and he’ll take a year for a lot less money, maybe !


But in reality imagine building a new home and buying an extemely expensive, old front door that’ll only last for half a year

 

[DJ Jeff]

Can you fecking believe we were in for him in 2015. Could've changed the clubs entire trajectory.

 

[golden_blunder]

Why don’t we just turn a blind eye to all crime? Just because it’s football

And that old front door is rotten to the core

 

[Sandikan]

The same people will probably be ranting on another thread about how we "never learn" signing these top names well past their best.

 

[TheRedHearted]

Toney for me in January !
Striker market is so lacking options, Osimhen for me would be ideal upfront with Hojland but that’s gonna be so damn expensive and Chelsea will put everything into signing him

 

[2 man midfield]

He turned us down about 4 times when we were good.

Besides I was hoping the days of offering past it players 400k a week were behind us.
