I read another supposedly quote where there was no 'I think' in it.

One manager says there's 100% no truth in the rumours the othere says he thinks Benzema will stay at Madrid and from that we deduce it's happening?
I call houseboat Loylz.

These are actual quotes, so I don't see why they shouldn't be posted in the Benzema thread. Or should he post the quotes here and deduce in the houseboat thread?

For me, there's a huge difference between "he'll stay" and "I think he will stay". And Rex, both BBC, BT and Goal.com use this quote:
"My answer is that I think Benzema is going to stay with us. I'm very happy with him. There's no reason to think that he's going to go."

Where did you see the one without "I think"?

Absolutely correct, Y Va.

There doesn't seem to be any earthly reason why Madrid will sell him to us. They're linked seriously to De Gea only and they're not looking to pay more than 20-25 million for him. All parties, Benzema, his club and our manager are clear that this is not happening. Yet, media keep on flogging a dead (may be never alive) horse.

At max, I see a last day enquiry from our side which will be coolly rejected.

Stop being so logical Y va and let a man dream. Kike seems to really believe it's happening.

There are OMT rules about what constitutes a credible link Quincy.

The point is that for the moment no reliable source has carried this story and neither manager has said anything that gives credence to the ITK / twitter generated rumours.

If I see something in here that I think is dubious I'm well within my rights to call houseboat

Hey I want to believe, just think the more "out there" links and thoughts are more suited to the mania of the houseboat thread
Love that thread.

Yeah, it has been pretty special this year. Didn't think about putting the original thing in houseboat. I didn't even have a link to any vague rumours related to us. Just the Benz quote from Benitez that was "apparently" real. But true, my conspiracies probably deserved to be houseboated though.

You know I actually come into this thread waiting for that elusive real link

If we believe enough it may just happen.

Forget Benzema.
Never gonna get him.
Madnesses sneak up on us without warning.

Of course you are. I just thought actual true quotes reported by every major newspaper of Benitez saying he doesn't believe Benzema will leave RM was... Well, credible. Didn't know that rumours went in the Benzema thread while disconfirmation went in the housboat thread.

It was Loylz interpretation that was dubious Quincy

Quiet news day.

That I agree with.

cadena ser reckon we've contacted his agent and received encouragement, but it all depends if real get another top striker in. nothing new really, but it does jive with what kike has said throughout the window.

Big question: through all of this, has Real been linked with other top strikers?

not really. seen some cursory links to reus, with ronaldo moving to the middle. all seems pie in the sky.

Some Spanish journalist was hinting at Reus to Madrid yesterday.
