If Fab goes I'd expect Benzema plus someone in midfield, the likes of a Vidal.
Qs, that would be perfect in my opinion. I think wishing for either one of the two is already too hopeful though, but I would definitely try go with your approach if I was Wenger and had means
If Cesc goes we have to get in a couple of big hitters to cover the loss. Anything less would be a disgrace.
Anything less would be normal unfortunately
Telegraph reporting £40m move for Benzema. Here we go.... #afc
Always been a huge Benzema fan. Lets buy him and fund their Suarez bid! Win-win.
Hate to sound like Wengie but I'm not sure if he's worth 40m.
Mail also reporting it.
He's not worth anywhere near 40 million unless he starts playing like he did back in Lyon.
Edit: I'm not going to complain if we sign him though. Just don't want to see Giroud up front anymore.
Ooooh GOOOOARN then
This would be great.
Is he the best of what's left to choose from in the category of "better than Giroud" strikers that we could possibly sign?
We stop pursuing Higuain because of the price, and then we're trying to get Real Madrid's lesser forward for £10m more? Brilliant.
i'm trying to think of any reason they would let benzema go at this point. only thing i can think of that they want to finance the bale deal. then play ronaldo at cf and promote their young forwards.
that's a massive leap tbh. can't see it happening.
Madrid's lesser forward, you say?
Have always liked Benzema. Questions about his mentaility, drive, bottle etc though.
Hope we put in an £80m bid for both Benzema and Ozil.
Think I read somewhere Madrid could cash in on Ozil for 47m euros
The mighty Ornstein:

Benzema and Di Maria. Crikey. Ornstein's ITK record this summer is good?
Mr. X insists that Ornstein is a mediocre ITK at best, but who knows.
In any case it doesn't mean that Real will sell them to us. Or that they would want to come here.
To be fair it'd be pretty hard for any ITK to have any sort of record this summer
