I love these clubs

[matty]

Benzema:

"Milan make me dream," the France international told the Italian sports daily. "Also because Ronaldo is there - he's my idol. He's from another planet. But I also love Juve, Inter and Manchester United - the big clubs. What's important is to win. I would leave Lyon only to continue to win and when I also feel ready mentally."

 

(From the Guardian.)

 

What a prick. Why don't you just hang out around the docks or the railway station if you're going to be a whore? Little ballbag.

The ironic thing is that if he'd professed his admiration for Liverpool, this thread would have been along the lines of, "What a guy/player etc, let's get in there and sign him."

 

That aside, probably not the best way to endear yourself to your current set of fans.

[Stevie H]

his name sounds like something you use to treat thrush.

[Coyler]

He wants to go to a club that is guaranteed to win and three of the four he mentions are competing against one another in the same league.

I can say quite confidently that his love for Milan and Juve don't make me desperate for Inter to sign him...

[Ostrich Man]

french bloke in italian newspaper article translated to English.

 

Any chance he didnt actually say he "loved" the clubs??

It's almost like he picked them out to wind you up

[Stevie H]

Sometimes I do think celebrities are talking to me through the pages of newspapers. That's normal, isn't it?

He's supoib.

[Guest JV]

He's supoib.

He was until this.

Stop press is that oddly left out of the quote was "I've always supported Real Madrid", which just about makes the nap hand of the five clubs in Europe most likely to give an average player silly money.

I agree with the sentiment.

 

But he is not average, he is a very talented player.

Time will tell about that. I hardly need remind you of French league hotshots who've flopped disastrously elsewhere. Not just Cisse either. Stevie H will give you the lowdown.

what about Newcastle or chelsea?

[Guest PaulMcC]

He looks very good.

 

Far better technically than Cisse,

To be fair, that is not setting the bench mark to high now is it?

[Bald Devil]

Yeah, in ex Prime Ministers of Pakistan.

Na, but i was replying to someone saying French league strikers are s*** then used Cisse as an example.

 

Benzema looks class technically and looks a real good finisher.

[RP]

A brick wall is technically superior to Cisse.

[surf]

cause if you pass to a brick wall, you'll always get it back
