Karim Benzema

19 June 2012

Is it just me thinking this or is this guy seriously over-rated?

I've watched him closely in the last few games and i just don't get it!!! his first touch is woeful, he's never in the box when you would expect your one and only striker to be there and doesn't pose a threat at all.

Would hate to have him at my club he's rubbish!

That's what I would say if I knew nothing about football.

International tournaments bring the most ridiculous knee jerk reactions out of people.

Benzema is a quality striker, one of the best in the world. Had a good game against Ukraine and was involved in both goals. Not so great in the other two games though, but that is irrelevant.

If you base your opinion on the Euros then RVP isn't that great either.

His first touch is excellent, now woeful, esp from them high passes.

If you had a chance to take him for your club, you would with open arms.

He must be crap if United have been trying to sign him for the past 4 years
