Cannot put my finger on it and i can't even say it's playing with CRonaldo as he has been pretty shit everytime i've watched France.
edit: wouldn't turn him down if the opportunity arose as he is better than Cavani and Giroud.

In fairness, everyone looks shit playing for France.

Except Valbuena.

Cavani would be a good fit here too. His movement in the box is fantastic

his career high was in 11-12.. cavani outscored him by a pretty wide margin last season...

eh.. we'll see if we get either of them

I mean career high as in he's never been better than he is right now, not career high as in goal output.

Cavani is the only signing that makes sense. PSG have bought Di Maria who replaces him, whilst Zlatan remains up front.

Benzema makes no sense unless Real sign a new attacker.

Cavani's work rate would suite the PL really well. He and Alexis up front would shame the lazy fuckers that make up the rest of this team.

Madrid are signing Reus.

Is Reus injured currently? He wasn't in the Dortmund squad tonight for their EL qualifier...

Head coach Thomas Tuchel said at his prematch news conference on Wednesday: "It was our choice to rest Marco. It's a precautionary measure from experience."

In my experience you don't want to play players before €50m transfers, as a precautionary measure.

Ooooo that's encouraging

According to Jeinny, Henry got Benzema sold on Arsenal.

Also, she's now rooting for Arsenal to win Premier League because our fans are so nice online. This is novelty ITK:ing. We were in such a bad relationship with John Cross for years that we forgot how good it could be.

Tbf John Cross never wore a crop top.

Although to be fair to Cross, I'm not sure that would have worked in his favour anyway.

jeinny has lost her mind in the last week or so. she's thrown out lewan, reus, and pogba as real's targets. and also backed that by saying isco is guaranteed a shirt, which doesn't even add up if real sign another attacker. and been re-tweeting every dodgy twitter handle who repeats her 'intel'.

if she wasn't so damn cheerful i'd put her in the tancredi palmeri hall of ITK shame

i like that she RTs random accounts that have like 200 followers when the person says something she believes

I havent said much during this Benzema circle jerk..  but you are not the only one to feel this way. 

that said, i disagree with your edit..  I honestly dont see Benzema being any better than Cavani..   less goals in a team that scores boatloads more goals than teams cavani has played for..  as for giroud, ok, maybe.   but i agree i wouldnt turn him down..  just dont think he's the all THAT special

Thirded. If it's Benzema or nothing (/Welbeck), then of course I'd take Benzema, but I've never been thoroughly convinced by the Frenchman.

We're not going to sign Thierry Henry, we need to get past that.
