Benzema.

Looked fabulous.

Great, deft touch.Strong, quick.


He's not £40m, but he'd be a great asset.

Yep, superb again. Sure AJ will call him clumsy again though

him and ben arfa, and kallstrom is pretty good.


we've beaten a good team tonight

Thought Ben Arfa was a lot better second half.First half, thought he was too nervy.

Agree, they're very good are Lyon.

An absolute bastard to get off the ball, isn't he?

He's quality.


Some players get hyped for not really doing much.

I'd say the hype is real with Benzema.He's a quality player.

There was a part right at the end where he picked the ball up in a pretty safe area near the half-way line, but then ghosted past 2 or 3 players like they weren't there. Thought nobody was ever gonna stop the £#%&!er.

Tonight has totally changed my opinion of him.

He played well at Lyon against us.To come and repeat it at OT, shows he's got 'it'.

Hope we get him.

he can't be that good after all Wenger didn't find him

looked quality tonight.

looked great with both feet, balanced and strong as £#%&! when he muscled rooney off the ball.

leg safs £#%&! bank must be overflowing.

but even 40mio eurio is ott.

Don't think there's much chance of him arriving but I was very impressed with him tonight.

Some people seem to forget that.

Out of the 5 we could have been paired against, this one was the banana skin.

Benzema is £#%&!ing brilliant. Made for Utd.....

The perfect modern day centre forward.

I would break down in tears if we sign him.

He reminds me of Ronaldo a few years ago.

The fat one.

Confirmed.

I am usually very careful with bandying labels like that but this kid really does look like the new O Fenomeno.

The way he runs at defenders, his strength - could be a fantastic player.

The question is though, could he cut it on a cold Tuesday night at The Shay?

I was very impressed with Benzema this evening.

So much so that I would like to go on record as saying that He Will Never Play For Manchester United.

We just don't get players like him.

Just got back from the match, had to rush back for last orders......

had a couple of quickies, so not pissed, at least I don't think I am.


But am I reading this right, I know his finishing hasn't been good this year,

which is the only criticism, I feel can be leveled at him.........

Joe Cole is better than Wazza.....................[SIZE="3"]GTF
