What the fook has Yakubu got to do with Benzema and Rooney?

You could've just answered the question.

I did answer the question

So Benzema is worth £20 million He's never proven anything to show he's worth that money. Real paid way way over the odds when they signed him and the fact he hardly gets a game and is always linked with leaving the club shows that.

Indeed, doesn't make it any more likely though.

Is it right that Rooney can buy out his own contract in the summer for £5m?

If a 30 year old donkey is worth £10m then yes, in relation I would say Benzama is worth double that. Of course, any player is only worth what someone is prepared to pay

Not after Everton have taken their cut.

Might be a nice bonus for them, with a reported 25% sell on clause.

A donkey? get a grip. Pathetic post.

What makes Benzema worth double the money of Yakubu then? their goalscoring records don't say one's worth double the money of the other either, Benzema 190 games 77 goals and Yak 278 games 108 goals (that's not including his time in Isreal). I think instead of judging off ability you're saying Benzema is worth double the price of Yakubu because he has played for Lyon and now plays for Real Marid.

Oh and Yak is only 28 not 30

Regardless of what we get for Rooney our once feared forward line of Rooney, Ronaldo. Tevez and Berba has been well and truly dismantled.

I think Fergie will need to sign a striker for Rooney, a midfielder for Scholes and a wide player for Giggs. We do have players such as Gibson, Macheda and Obertan but they are not proven and we need to bring in quality. There are tonnes of names that could be mentioned but I do think this is a huge job and I wonder if Fergie fancies another go round?

This could signal the end for the owners tbh, if we don't perform well and the ground does not sell out and merchandise sales slip then they might want out.

Don't forget the 25% that's coming out way

Re: The Football Chat Thread : Tue Oct 19, 2010 4:38 pm  

Why Benzema? Higuain is a far better striker. When Rooney leaves that will be another superstar that Utd have lost so surely for once the board must give Fergie the money to bring someone in that can do a top job.

Re: The Football Chat Thread : Tue Oct 19, 2010 4:50 pm  

Rooney out, Sergio Aguero in.

Simples!
