I think after 13 years, 4 la liga titles and 5 CLs, he was entitled you leave Madrid when he wanted, at 36.

I never said I blame him, just that he isn't for us.
 
I'm surprised people seem up for this. I thought it'd be a universal feck no.

The guys a semi retired, known troublemaker on massive wages. He'd be a massive ego landed into our already shambolic dressing room. Bad, bad idea.

The fact that he'd improve us still is a damning indictment of our squad building, but he just isn't the answer here.

There's a whole world of strikers out there to choose from - surely we can unearth a gem for once rather than signing our annual geriatric, once-great striker.
It’s a hard pass from me. Obvious people here haven’t learnt from previous mistakes
 
If we go by name, the most logical destination after Al-Ittihad is All-Emptihad.
 
I didn't realise he was such a disruptive character,was gutted we couldn't get him in 2009 but agree it would feel like another Cavani/Ronaldo type signing. Like others have said he would be on sky high wages in Saudi too.
 
Would be classic United where everybody making loads of money selling players to Saudi, and we end up buying overpriced players and wages from there.
 
Seeing how Lewandowski has been underperforming for FC Negreria, I wouldn’t take a risk with a Benzema who is older and isn’t setting the feckin Arab league alight.
 


{EXCLUSIVE} Karim Benzema IS NOT TRAVELING to the preseason of #AlIttihad The striker has been absent from training for six consecutive days, including since 12/1 which was the limit to return, and WILL NOT BE PART OF the preparation of the team
 
Is he any worse than we have up top at the moment? Martial isn’t worth talking about and Hojlund can’t finish his dinner . Might be worth a shot if the wages weren’t obscene on loan

As a player ? Probably as good as if not better than Hojlund I reckon. Certainly better than Martial.

He is also a massive ego who's proven himself to be an issue in more than one dressing room by now, old and on massive wages.

If we had a stable dressing room with the right kind of manager in charge, it might work as a stop gap. As things stand though I think it'd be a bad idea.

He would be our best player. If a short term deal is possible we should be all over it. Although I'd imagine he would have more attractive options.
 
If he does leave he'll be back at Madrid anyway, doubt he'll come here.
 
No. No more fecking ancient pricks who had their best days elsewhere hanging around here.

I'd gladly watch Hojlund continue being hopeless for a while on the slim chance he might turn good in a year over getting the dregs of the career of some star.

I can think of 75000 reasons we shouldn't touch this guy with a barge pole. Google "benzema 75000" to see them all
 
We're midtable and toothless in attack. Surprised to see so many stick their nose up at Benzema.
 
Benzema not good enough for United? So says some supporters of a club in 9th place in the PL and having scored a grand total of 22 goals in 20 games.

Nobody's saying he isn't good enough, but there's good reasons not to want him.

No doubt a long-term contract would be madness, but a half-season loan would be exactly what we need. Provided a medical exam confirms his fitness of course.

We've got a serious problem at striker right now and if we want to push on for a CL spot we need to start scoring goals otherwise scoreless draws will keep jus in 7th to 9th place at best. And Benzema isn't just a poacher. He's really tough to defend.

Have you seen the wages he's on in Saudi Arabia,there is no chance we can meet that
