    Saw that earlier. Quite surprised but I suppose he's fed up of being on the bench.

    Thats what they get for stalling earlier in the season, although it wasn't straight forward I guess.

    Glad he is going to be staying in the EPL, or so it seems, as he is one of my favourite players.

    Overrated *. But they'll probably make a move for him.

    I don't know what's more ludicrous. Calling Berbatov * and saying Tevez is better or calling Benzema overrated.

    He's underrated, especially if you listen to the English media who claim he's untested outside of France which isn't a good leauge according to them.

    Berbatov - Extremely talented player. Work rate lets him down.
    Tevez - Nowhere near as talented but makes up for it in work rate.
    Benzema - Potentially a world-class striker. One of the best already and only young.

    If Berbatov was a money grabber, he'd have went to Man City, not United. :bbpd:

    I never said anything bad about Tevez or Berbatov.

    Benzema is overrated, seen him play, good goalscorer but he simply isn't worth that kind of money Lyon wanted for him. And I doubt that he'll manage to do well at Man. Utd. now that Ronaldo's off to Real.

    My Berbatov-Tevez comment wasn't aimed at you.

    I think the price tag on Benzema is terrible, but as a player, I still think he is underrated. Of course Lyon are gonna overrate him, they want as much money as possible for him.

    I know, I was just saying that these guys are pretty quality players.

    Can't see him secceeding in Man. Utd. because they don't have quality wingers anymore. Can't see anyone setting up a goal for him. I'm not saying that he wouldn't manage to do it by himself, but they shouldn't rely on him only. Tevez and Ronaldo are gone and it's a big handicap for Red Devils. Giggs isn't getting any younger and I can see young Tosic getting his chance more often. Maybe he can provide good assists for Benzema.

    I still dont really agree with your reasons mate

    Your reasonomg of why he wouldnt succeed is because youve described him as a target man.

    When personally I think he's more of a second striker he creates his own chances.

    His price tag is too much for his current ability but I dont think its too much for potential ability.

    I rate Benzema, he scores goals in the Champions League and he scores plenty in France, French football I think is the most defensive in Europe out all the decent Leagues so he does well to score 20+ a season playing in there.

    I think Man Utd could fall apart, Ronaldo was the making of their success, he took 2/3/4 guys on him a game and let other have space and he was also the one who would be involved in most of their goals. Tevez isn't great but was still a useful player who they'll miss as I doubt they'll get anyone as good. I think Man Utd's midfield is poor, Scholes is past is, Carrick is over rated, Fletcher is a hard working player with no quality and so is Park and Hargreaves is injured all the time. Chelsea and Liverpool have better midfields by a distance and even more so now with Ronaldo leaving.
