Brilliant. Bang on.As I'm not reading this thread, this may have already been posted, so apologies in advance, but a Villa supporter tweeted this remark - "going to Man C to win trophies is like losing your virginity to a prostitute!"
That's why I said next year. No matter how good he is, knocking on 35 means your days are numbered.Age is just a number. Benzema is Real Madrid's best player by a gigantic landslide, surrounded by players either failing to fulfil the potential they were being hyped to have, nearing the end of their careers or just simply not good enough.
Last season, Benzema was Real Madrid's top scorer with 30 goals. Nobody else reached double digits! Second top scorer only got 7 goals total. That's how lackluster this Real Madrid attack currently is at the moment. There's no chance Benzema will be replaced this soon.
Benzema's contract will be renewed. And not everyone falls off a cliff at 35.That's why I said next year. No matter how good he is, knocking on 35 means your days are numbered.
They’ve done as well as they’ve could to try and replace his production but I’d be shocked if they don’t slide a bit.Villa really were way too reliant on him. When he was hurt last season they were utter shit.
I've seen some people talk about a Webster ruling of him buying himself out of his contract, he can only do that 15 days after his season has finished, watch this for more info
Yeah mate, it's a crazy rule which now also has the fact of a 100% tax out of buying your contract outYeh I had heard that but didn’t know if it was true or not so basically can’t even do a Webster till next year at the earliest. Funny how the Sun didn’t pick up on this when they brought up Kane leaving on a Webster.
Fair enough, we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.Benzema's contract will be renewed. And not everyone falls off a cliff at 35.
I can easily see Benzema extend his prime for a few more years.
According to Ali Gold he didn't want to play for us last season, Kane is worth alot more to us than a Grealish & Sissoko combined, so let's not give the club with a bottomless pit of money a huge discount on the best attacker in the league and 1 of only our 2 consistent goalscorersIf we can get £130m for him then I say take it, no point in dragging this out until the final days of the window hoping to get another £20m or so, will only leave us scrambling around Europe for scraps.
It hasn't worked before and it's madness to suggest it will work this time.
He no longer wants to play for us, get rid. Use the money to try and sign some talented young players that would be proud to play for our club.

"Yeah obviously.... Man City.... Spurs... Florida...Big misunderstanding....Charlie Kane... Love the Fans... COYS... yeah obviously..."
The problem with Benz, who I love, is the same thing RM had with Modric. They are jsut so good that no matter how much they plan to sit them and rest their legs they always come calling for them to bail them out. But if they reduced their workload throughout the season they can get a couple more seasons out of them.Benzema's contract will be renewed. And not everyone falls off a cliff at 35.

He’s got a half a head mateIs Raul Jiminez the perfect replacement for Kane? He's a great footballer.
