Very good player, the agent is a bit of a muppet. I can see Jorge Mendez all over again

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Spot on Wiz
We gotta get this lad in asap, not just because we need him, but he's gonna be one of the best strikers/players in the world in a few years & by feck does he remind me of Zidane too - his balance, physique & stance, not to mention he actually looks a bit like him!
I'd love to see him here.... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... i'd really love it.... love it..... .......................err how? If anything his agent is making it easier for us and turning the pressure up on Lyon by saying no way is he worth more than David Villa and the stupid amounts quoted
I've already thought of a chant for him..."Ohh, Ahh, Benzema!"

olddddbeen mentioned 20 times already
You reckon - on what basis mate?
I thought what he said was commonsense as regards his worth by comparison to Villa, and the impression i got was the United have been in contact with him in some way!
been mentioned 20 times already
Woooooooooooosh

Sounds like you rate this lad pretty highly tbh

"Ohh, Ahh, Benzema!"
Make that 21 times there Paz, since you're keeping the score mate
Yeah man he's class already, but with the right coaching he'll progress to the heights many think he'll reach. He's got the right Physique to develop into a serious handful & great pace to boot!
I would say that Benzema is probably the best prospect of his type at his age group in the world at the moment & i'd be gutted if he went somewhere else & thrilled if he came to us
If he does come to us, it'll show that the lad has class - ignoring the bullshit of Real & acknowledging United are the club to be at, and ballsy to come here attempting to take Ronaldo's mantle - that would impress me greatly
He'd be great. If only he could see that he could be a legend at this club.
I think that was what he was saying. Doubly impressive.
Dobbelt imponerende.
Easy for you to say
If United waited for that it would be. That's not what I meant, I was just speaking about my own personal perspective. As a player he won't excite me until he's done it in a proper league.
He's said a number of times he wants to move to Spain.
It looks like it's between us and Real, so he'll probably choose Real.

Pretty much agree with al of that.
But you wouldn't expect him to come in and be immediately better than Torres, would you?
What would happen if say..... like...... maybe.... like.... say.... Real just disappeared????
You'd have a point if we were talking about say, the K-league...the French league has a few good teams in it, and some of the teams were in the latter part of both European competitions. Its in the top 5 leagues around the world.
England
Spain
Italy
Germany
France
So, technically, he has done it in a 'proper' league, and he's also done it in the Champions League against us. Torres' goal scoring record the season he left Athletico wasn't great, but look what he's done for the scousers.
What league's are 'proper'?
I take it Ronaldo didn't excite you when we signed him?
2 Benzema's????????
put your cock away lad.
The French is comfortably the weakest of those leagues. For God's sake Djibril Cisse was a star there.
As far as going far in Europe goes. Only Lyon have done anything of note in Europe in the last decade and that has been minimal. Two Ukarnian team got further in the UEFA Cup than any French side, is there league better? A case could be made for the Portugese league to be as strong as the French. Two of their clubs made the knockout stages in the Champions League despite having fewer entrants than the French.
He is also wasn't the top scorer in the French league last season by quite a distance. Benzema may well be a top player. I've already stated I have no opinion on him but I'd like to see him perform at a higher level before buying into his hype.
Not until I'd seen him play for us no.
To be considered a player worth £30 Million or more I'd expect a player to have made a name for himself in England, Spain or Italy or have consistently performed at International level.
No Ukranian team in the latter stages of the CL. Lyon and Monaco have been there in the last 5 years or so.
and Benzema >>>>>> Cisse. Without doubt.
There's a good argument to say that the Italian, French and German leagues are all at a similar level curently, though.
And Porto have won it in that time. Is the Portugese league a great league? As have a Dutch side. Have Lyon ever been past the quarter finals? No French team in the latter stages of the Chapions League either. Last 16 isn't really the latter stages. It's the second stage.
You'd probably be the worlds worst scout.
which dutch side won it in the last 5 years? Porto met Monaco in the final. It was quite an even game to be honest if I remember correctly.
Anyway, your going off on a tangent.
You're right. Somebody who'd pay £30 Million on a player they've probably barely seen who's generally flopped at international level would be much better.
To further back my point...
Number of participating clubs by nation, in the European cup:
Spain 12
Germany 10
France 9
Italy 8
England 7
Top 5 leagues in the world.

Sorry, I meant to say a Dutch side have been to the latter stages in that time. Pretty sure Porto won the final 3-0.
What tangent is that? You brought up French sides records in Europe. I countered it.
Barely seen? You think our scouts watch a player once? Or take advantage of a full season of games to watch him a good 20-30 times.
We don't live in the stone age, we can watch recorded games of a player you know.
What does that even mean. Is that how many different clubs have competed? That doesn't prove the league's strength.
Nice tangent by the way.
the French league is better than you think it is. Just because it isn't broadcasted in this country, doesn't make it shit. It is a 'proper' league. Therefore, he has proven himself in a good league, and is ready to make the step up to a better league.
