Yes but the Special one does not rate him and played him in the Copa delrey tonight however never been selected to start a League or CL game this season.
The "Special One"? Fuck me, it's as bad as Coopers Injury's "The Theatre Of Dreams". The "Special One" indeed. It's only one short step from that to Stevie G taking a peno.

Back to Benzema. How about his start against Villarreal four days ago? Or his start against Getafe in the league game before that? Or his start against Sevilla in the league game before that. Or his start against Zaragoza in the league game before that. Or his start against Auxerre in the Champions League in the game before that when he not only started but scored a hat-trick.

I'm really not sure it's worth me going any further back than that.

The fucking "Special One". I'm going to bed angry now.

 God ...I hate people who bring facts into an argument!

OK what else have you got oh Knowledgeable one?

Higuian is out for four months with a hernia, Jose has been told he cannot buy a striker, so Benzema is there main number 9 and is starting every game, so he isn't going anywhere.

Let's move on.

Benzema has come on as sub in 11 games this season. He has started in 6 games  and has been subbed 5 times. Not  a player of choice for the special one.

No, we are going to try it on Spurs wage costs, 11 million less than ours a season!

Not according to The Swiss Rambler website and he seems to know what he is on about.

West Ham are confident of pushing through a cut-price deal for Robbie Keane after emerging as favourites to sign the unsettled Tottenham striker.

Sportsmail can reveal the relegation-threatened Upton Park club are actively pursuing Keane and believe they can see off competition from Birmingham, Newcastle, Fulham, Aston Villa and even America's MLS to help him kick-start a career that has stalled in recent months.

With the 30-year old reluctant to uproot his family and in no mood to be dictated to by Tottenham over any decision on his future, West Ham chiefs are hoping to land him for barely half the £8million Birmingham were initially quoted.

Jose really wants a striker, he has said if Benzema gets injured they will have to play a different way, so even if they loan Adebayor I can't see them loaning Karim out.

This notion that spurs wage bill is less than ours must be wrong now.

Last year when it was they had the likes of Bale, Modric and Huddlestone all on around 25k a week, they have all signed new deals since, plus now have VDV.

So they will defiantly have a higher wage bill than us now, but obviously will probably be getting close to doubling our Turnover.

Scary to look at that. There ain't going to be many clubs turning a profit with those wage percentages. It just emphasises the point that football is well and truly fucked!

Maybe they will sign some kind of 'sponsorship' deal to pump money through the books

I'm thinking some kind of deal with, say, the Bahrain Potato Marketing Board
