The other games today - 2013/14


Recommended Posts

I can see both sides with the Arsenal thing, in many ways they've had it very good indeed - they haven't been outside the top 4 since Wenger took over, they generally play lovely football, etc - but the lack of spending to bring them to that next level must be frustrating.  Mental that a club like that has Giroud as their only decent striker.

 

Regardless, what I was going to get at is that banners like that are a disgrace.  Wenger deserves more than a little bit of respect from that lot, at least.

 

Didn't Draxler claim Arsenal offered over 30m for him in January but wouldn't meet his release clause at 37m? Higuain deal they fucked up aswell, if they got him in the summer they could well be top now imo.

Beyond me how people can just sit and watch Benzema up front for one of the best teams in the world and accept it without question. They are renowned for signing world class players for huge money yet still find themselves with just a good striker in one of the most important positions.

Ronaldo and Bale have scored 57 goals in 72 appearances. That tends to help.

Getting other stats to prove his? Something Pardew will do that. Benzema is not good enough for a side of this stature.

Benzema has scored 23 in 40 too. You'd think he was some scrub the way Brett goes on.

When you have people like Ronaldo and Bale at the sides, having a player like Benzema who's able to drop a bit deep and move the ball intelligently and create space is more useful than another all out striker that will score 1000 more goals, particularly when they don't play with a natural #10 anymore after selling Özil and Isco not featuring much.
