Samuel Eto'o

Too old for the money he'd cost. Then again, we DID sign Berbatov at pretty much the same age for a ludicrous fee.

Or Barca could just put the money towards signing Benzema themselves.

I can't see Benzema wanting to come here.

Would he cost that much though? Last year of his contract. He'd cost much less than Berbatov did anyway surely

Good, i don't want him here anyway.

listen we need a goalscorer, eto'o is just that.

he'd eat half the donkey centre halfs in the premier league for breakfast.

Inter Milan have supposedly offered £30m. We'd have to top that for a player 4 months short of 29 years old when the new season starts.

I reckon he'd rather come here than go to Inter...hopefully that can play a part in whatever the fee turns out to be

Reports in Italy say were both interested in Benzema and Eto.

How about they have Eto and we'll take Karim Fair?

Or as someone just said...not bother with Tevez and get Benzema and Eto'o here

You've obviously been on the drink

Would not work anyway, get Benzema for 30mil (the rumoured price for both Inter and United is 35mil euro) and Valencia and keep the rest until a more suitable central midfielder becomes available.

Corriere dello Sport mate.

French Paper, Le Progres say there going to bid 40mil euro for him, but i honestly dont think they have that money in the first place and are awaiting somebody to come in for Ibrahimovic before they look at Karim.

I saw a pic of Fergie with Benzema's agent in l'equipe from a game last season in todays paper (friday) lets hope there was something more to it

Yeh was in Febuary against Sochaux if i remember correctly.

It was in 2008, 2 weeks before we played them in CL.

Here's Highlights: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4cs4v_resume-lyon-sochaux-41_sport
Benzema scored last goal of game, Fergie probably gone home by then

I wonder if this is a smokescreen to get Lyons interested in selling/agree to actually negotiate a realistic fee.

I'll go with Rafa...
