Houllier confirms benzema interest
« on: November 17, 2010, 12:19:07 PM »
Gerard houllier has said if benzema wants to come to villa he would definately want to buy him- having managed him at Lyon it's believed houllier has an edge over other interested parties- how nice to see us being linked with big name foreign stars- also djibril cisse being mentioned , he scored 28 goals last season after a £8m move.

the benzema comments are interesting, and while i think benzemas agent has stated that milan and the likes want to buy him, he isnt going to move permanently...

however, the fact that houllier has stated that he wants a player of benzemas calibre, is very ambitious and very exciting... bodes well for potential future transfers...

Let's hope GH pulls the transfer off.

Benzema and Gabby up front.. sounds pretty good to me even if it would be only for six months. Not that it'll happen but I suppose there's more chance of us signing a player like that now than when O'Neill was here.

MON would be looking at a map now wondering if Madrid was in France and getting all confused...

Wasn't it a tongue in cheek comment about Benzema?

I don't know that there are any legs in this but it is nice to be linked with someone decent from abroad for a change.

The dirty dozen back from injury and Pires, Benzema and Cisse, we could be very strong post Xmas.

Ferguson said last summer that Man Utd offered £35m for Benzema but were outbid. I don't see us getting him anytime soon.
