Benzema: Page 12 - The Arsenal discussion community: One More in the Tolly

Benzema

Gazza M

He has good acceleration, but his top speed is nothing special. He was a bit quicker when he was at Lyon. His power reminds of Saha when he was at his best - capable of going direct, bouncing off challenges and finishing. RvP - Benzema is a dream duo for me.

We would never want for goals with that combination: two strikers who can create goals for themselves and each other. Been a while since we had that.

lorddulaarsenal

Really hope this happens. Wouldn't need to have 5 million creative dwarfs behind them to score

lorddulaarsenal

benzema is also one of few players we can realistically sign that would help fill the emirates bowl next year lol

he'd also convince nasri to stay

wenger says it's not impossible, but then again technically it's not impossible that Ricky (I got my editing powers taken away for that you know) could sleep with a girl

Captain

Still not 100% sold on Benzema as a player but he's certainly better than Chamakh attack and B52.

Timbob

I'm not completely convinced by him as a player either, but I also have a sneaky that he'd score an absolute truck-full of goals for us if he came.

Is no one else worried by the fact that Real Madrid seem more than happy to let him go?

Captain

Nah, Madrid are a strange team. If it were someone like ManU, alarm bells would be ringing.

Settle down Dules don't get Ricks hopes up......You know how it works: Real want 25M for him.... Wenger offers Eboue and a packet of crisps..... Real say fuck off.... Wenger- I tried to sign Benzema.

Anyway where is he going to play? Out on the wing or as an "attacking midfielder"?

I agree we need another striker, but if we continue to play this lone striker formation, do we need one of Benzema's caliber/stature? This is a lot easier said than done, but I'd prefer getting a guy like Hernandez as our second striker, and would rather see us spend big elsewhere.

lorddulaarsenal

Yes we need a striker. You don't plan on rvp staying fit ya know. Or atleast you damn well shouldn't

Saha, yeah, that's who he reminds me of as well.

Benzema would be a huge buy of intent for us. Would absolutely love it and he have every chance to be the new Henry for us. I watched him play a full match live at Stade de France and he is more hardworking than he is being portrayed and keeps running at defenders at every chance which will suit us.

Not even sure if Benzema is any inferior to Aguero tbh, 20+m or 45m for those, I know who I prefer and which nationality Arsene prefers 😉

lorddulaarsenal

he has great close control, is direct and has a good finish on him - wots not to love?

infact, i think i'm gonna renew my lowly red membership and by emirates cup tickets and that awful new home shirt on the back of this

Captain

When I watch Benzema, I see a bloke who lacks penetration off of the ball and is a fairy despite his physical gifts.

lorddulaarsenal

you see drogba? noice!

Timbob

If we buy him we go back to playing 2 proper forwards. Let Robbo Van Persie be the linkplayer. Walcott and Chamakh as back ups. Cesc back to centre mid. Goals galore! Happy says.
