Houllier confirms benzema interest

[Mazrim]

No-one is too big for the Villa

Correct.

Good move by Gerard - sends out a positive message before the transfer window opens.

  Real Madrid want Llorente........they won't loan him out to a team in the CL.Could be us.

Why not? He can't play for any other team in the Champions League anyway. Don't see why they would care what he does in that team's domestic league.

Because  it would mean they could possibly rest top players during the weekend games, thus if they played you having fresher players as your man allowed them to do it.

But if they loaned him to Inter, Chelsea or Bayern they'd also be sending him to a club where they would have a chance of getting back somewhere close to what they paid for him and with more of a chance of picking up the bulk of his wages.

Personally though, I'd be very surprised to see him loaned out anywhere. It's not as if there are many teams in the world who would loan out their second choice striker.

I liken this to the 'Villa agree deal for Aaron Hughes and Craig Bellamy' saga.  We will get Cisse more likely.  And will be used as a stalking horse for Benzema.  However, if he pulls it off, I will instantly reverse my views about him forthwith.

[Dave Cooper please]

Correct.

Crouch was, kept banging his head on the toilet cubicles.

But if we get him in on loan, it will click and Benzema would thrive and love playing for Aston Villa. So if Real Madrid decided to sell him, he would be very close to joining. Think positive and remember Real Madrid is mad club who have high turnover of players. But would Randy and Gerard spend say 20+ millions for him.

Mirror bullshit[/b].

How old is Cisse now?

They were bang on about Rooney John.  But  no thank you Cisse he is not resiliant enough for PL.

Spanish reporter on radio today said no chance, said he is highly rated in Madrid and close to getting a starting place.

[WALTERS WARRIORS]

Come on lads lets get real. He is not coming to Villa park so lets not get ourselves excited for nothing. Now we are starting to get a "French connection" (Pires Houllier) we can start looking at top young french strikers who will instantly recognise these icons ......

[Salsa Party Animal]

I want to see Aston Villa to be a best XI for young British and French Players and first choice club to develop their career.

Think we should set up a sister club in France
