Real Madrid chasing “The Wonder Kid” Karim Benzema
Real Madrid chasing “The Wonder Kid” Karim Benzema
Real Madrid want Benzema, I want Benzema too.
Spanish newspaper “AS” claims that Real Madrid will sign French striker, Karim Benzema, when the transfer window re-opens in January.
The price? 50m euros demanded by Lyon, the club where Benzema plays. The negotiator? Jean Michel Aulas, Lyon’s supreme, a guy who is tough and hard to negotiate with. He is known to be a man who get what he wants, the way he wants, thanks to the super-expensive buy-out clauses he ties his players with.
We signed Diarra from Lyon in 2006 for 26m euros, the price he demanded. So this means, it won’t be easy to sign the French striker who says:
“If I convince my president, playing in Madrid would be possible.“
On the other hand, Real are full of cash at the moment. Recent reports suggest that Mijatovic has 140m euros in his pocket to do some shopping. But I think 50m euros for Benzema is a lot of money and let me tell you, he is worth that money. No wonder, Manchester United, Barcelona and Ac Milan are gunning for him.
He is 20 years old and looks like a good striker, no, looks like great striker. He has a good physical shape, a winning mentality and everything that makes him a good option for us, but once again 50m euros is a lot of money for a 20 year old, but this 20 yo kids name is BENZEMA, so I think the price tag is justified.
Some people are of the opinion that Real Madrid should sign Villa. I think, that would be a mistake as Villa depends and thrives on service game. He doesn’t have the individual quality which Benzema has, plus, Benzema is young and has a lot of potential. Villa is almost playing at his peak now.
Benzema can hit the ball equally good with his both feet. Is good in the air, has speed, can dribble past defenders, can finish, man he is complete striker. Plus, the biggest quality I see in him which even C.Ronaldo doesn’t have, is his composure and ability to perform under pressure in big game when the marking is tight. Prime example is the goal Benzema scored against Manchester United in Champions League last season.
Check out that goal on youtube, I am telling you. It was pure magic. After seeing that goal, I don’t think anyone can argue if Benzema should be bought or not.
But, Mijatovic himself said in a recent interview, that they aren’t gonna sign anyone in January, because we have a full squad. We have four strikers who have been doing well so far except for Saviola, because he has only played 35 minutes – unfair!!
The bottom line is, Benzema is the best option and if Real Madrid is going to pay 50 million euro for Benzema then it should be for Benzema, no one else deserves this price tag (a striker that is).
What do you think?
Hala Madrid!
