that's the thing, I think ed is right.
the kid has all the technical tools to be a world-beater. his problems are all mental and with the right coach he can be a destroyer. he is, in fact, remarkably similar to torres in that regard (except he's playing in a worse league so actually is managing to score which torres didn't really manage with atleti).
but the thing is they bought torres for 26m. which was a teensy bit expensive given he was a risk, but it was at least sane. benzema would cost somewhere closer to 40m which is just fucking ridiculous.
Not really.
Even in a worse league
Just think back to all the matches we've played against Lyon. The reason they didn't stand a chance is because Benzema was playing. Because whenever he touched the ball, it was a guaranteed offside or blast out of the stadium.
He's such a predictable player.
watching this gave me two thoughts.
1. benzema's finishing is amazing. he nearly always finds the sides of the net off EITHER foot. this makes his shots soooo difficult for keepers to save. it's just incredible to see finishing like that come so naturally to him and in a way I want us to get him now just so pep can work on the rest of his game (and his mental issues) and he can become, well, basically some kind of goal-machine for us.
2. eminem really didn't like everlast.
for some reason i seem to picture him in the madrid shirt not ours i feel same way about ribery
