    Whats with all the talk of Benzema? He had a good game! So what! Was it not your man Kearney for Cork that destroyed Depor a few years back and people taught he was great and destined for bigger things....not after happening! I reckon Benzema will move to Spain and dissappear into mediocrity!

    while i am on record as saying i dont want him at the club right now, i will also go on record as saying, you are wrong in my opinion, this guy looks the real deal, all the attributes needed to be a world class striker and the single mindedness to go and do it.....while i do think he will probably move to spain, i doubt it will be into mediocrity

    he hasnt just had one good game

    A good game?

    Just because you haven't been watching the lad doesn't mean he isn't talented.

    Is Benzema even first choice for France?
    Surely he can't be ahead of Henry nor Trez?

    Trezeguet has been left out of the last few squads, including their last 3 qualifiers and has threatened to quit the national team.

    Benzemas national career is in it's infancy and he only has a handful of starts, but I think he will be in the first XI come Euro '08, alongside Henry. Even if he isn't he will definitely feature and will probably make such an impact Domenech will be forced to start him in subsequent games.

    Jaysus, better hide that from DesF!:D It was Wes Hoolahan from Shelbourne, who's currently playing in the Championship with Blackpool now. And you can hardly compare the 2. Benzema is top scorer in the French league and a French international. His reputation isn't just based on one match.

    He also destroyed Rangers.

    Benzema = Brilliant.
    Berbatov = Brilliant.
    Voronin = Brilliant.

    And if GioTrap truly IS the savious of the national team, he'll have Weso as the first name on the teamsheet.

    I don't see why Berbatov can only maintain his performances until 31. He strikes me as a player who will continue until a ripe old age.

    I wasn't talking about Spurs signing Torres or Liverpool signing Berbatov by the way. That's just silly talk. I was talking about them signing for that rich club in West London.

    To be fair QPR are a bit of a long shot at the moment.

    No.

    There is only room for one team that wears Blue and White Hoops in the PL.

    I was thinking though, who are Italys star young talents coming through?

    Quagliarella is pretty damn good.

    He's also 25.

    Which is young by Italian standards :D

    Italy don't tend to go for too much youth. Quagliarella was the fourth youngest player in the last squad with only De Rossi (almost 25), Palladino and Aquallani (both born in 1984) younger.

    Has anyone...apart from the press and the bookies...actucally said anything about Berbatov leaving Spurs?

    I can't see why he'd leave, I doubt he could see why he should leave.

    Obviously there's the CL but from what I've seen I wouldn't bet against Ramos gettng Spurs there quite soon.

    Berbatov = good striker -> rumours about ManU buying him -> pointless threads

    Theres too much maths going on in this thread :(

    simple really...
    Ramos gets £40m budget to spend in the summer...
    Benzema to spurs for £38m
    Robinson + £2m to pompey, David James to spurs.

    obvious really..

    Just what Spurs need, another striker :rolleyes:

    If Spurs buy another striker without selling one of Bent Keane or Berbatov, the entire board should be shot. Central midfield, left wing and CB all desperately need to be looked at

    completely agree, thats what SHOULD happen, but what WILL happen is we'll blow the whole budget on benzema, claim he's too young and not ready, make him sit on the bench with €16m darren bent where they discuss their sign on bonuses, meanwhile for some unknown reason keane will be dropped and we'll bring back defoe after he scores 6 for portsmouth... and keane and defoe will swap and chop and change for months before ramos remembers keane is just better... meanwhile we'll still be lacking midfielders and our backline will be injured... but we'll score lots of goals, games like reading at home will become common place... ticket sales for spurs games will go through the roof as the most entertaining side in europe, we'll temporarily move to wembley to accomodate demand while we build white hart lane to 240,000 all standing stadium, then the board will sack ramos for finishing 3rd, 4th, 3rd, 5th... and bring back martin jol... im telling u, this will happen!!!
