Houllier confirms benzema interest

[VillaAlways]

If he's on the fringes at Real Madrid and unhappy a loan spell could be a possibility.

[garyshawsknee]

I can maybe see a loan,but no chance of a permanent signing. As for Cisse,i think he's proved that he's not good enough for the PL. There must be better options in Europe than him.

[g_man_r]

although its very unlikely and the comment made by Houllier was tongue in cheek, its nice to finally see us being linked with a big name player

[Bad English]

And I'm interested in giving Melissa Theuriau one, let's see who gets lucky.*

Don't think Cisse is too bad, better than Delf right now, but probably not a long term solution granted.

Houllier said that he wasn't looking to bring in a striker in January and the quotes about Benzema were, as said above, made tongue in cheek so to speak. That said, no doubt if he became available to us we would snap him on a loan deal. It's also possible that Houllier does want another striker in January but is keeping shtum about it to keep our existing strikers motivated.

I think Houllier said that before injuries to Gabby, Heskey and Carew and the falling out with Carew.  If Ash and Carew go in Jan we'll certainly need a striker.

He would certainly be the type of "bums on seats" signing we've been lacking for the past four years.

I like Cisse, he looks like a freak but when GH joined one of the first things I said was I hope he gets him.

Benzema? Now thats someone to get excited over!!

Cisse had a really good scoring record at liverpool 13 in 49 but most of those goals were sub appearances, he also scored 10 in 35 for Sunderland but what he does well is hold the ball up and win flick on's he's like a younger heskey

[The Situation]

Even getting Benzema on-loan would be a massive step foward to our club. About time we get a player of that quality after we had to put up we've MON's boring transfer regime.

Just imagine an attack of Ash, Albrighton, Downing, Gabby and Benzema? fap fap fap lol.

He said it in response to being asked about Owen a couple of days ago, though maybe he was only referring to him.

[JUAN PABLO]

So did Houlier manage Benz at Lyon ?

[Bad English]

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

Yes, but some people couldn't spot a vicar in a mountain of sugar.

Don't forget Scotland's answer to Xavi
