well call me a muppet or whatever. I would like to say Benzema is exactly what we are looking for. Like already mentioned he is strong (I mean strong, Vidic was bouncing off him a couple of times in the lyon game). We also saw him lead the line in a not so strong lyon team (compared to lyon teams in the past), he was the lone striker but didn't seem to have any problems.

Think of him as an upgrade to Saha, he is good with both feet. I mean he is righty essentially but look at the goal he scored against us (left foot strike) i mean reminded me of some of the lefties who would score something like that for example Hitzelsperger or Peter Lovenkrands.

The point has already been made by Mo, that to win trophies and fight on all fronts we will need to have 3 world class strikers and a back up (Manucho). However with Manucho we are not even sure if he is gonna arrive next season. I mean the guy is fantastic and i would love to have him in the squad now but he hasn't even recieved a green card in Greece hence hasn't played a single game for Panathanikaos. And Saha as good of a forward he is, his legs are going and lets face it, he isn't getting any younger.

Another point i would like to raise is French strikers in our and english football have had a a rather succesfull spell, Cantona, Saha (good player when fit), Dubbery, Cunt Henry Some strikers from french league, Adebayor and Drogba (Africans but played a majority of their career in France).

I for one would love to get Karim Benzema. And don't go by what the lads says. A month an English reporter asked him whats his team of choice he said Manchester United. Than an Italian reporter asked him the same question and he said Ac Milan and now a Catalan Reporter asks him and he is saying Barcelona. Don't we all remember Ribery saying atleast 10 times i will go anywhere but Germany, guess where he is at right now. A right offer for both benzema and lyon and he will be in manchester giving his medical. And please don't even say man city, because city's trophyless years are even more than benzema's living years
