Balotelli has to come to Arsenal

There's no doubt that Benzema on form is pretty good, as shown in the France game, but when he is off form he is horrible to watch.

I think there is something crucial someone mentioned and that's the fact that Mario is engaged to get married! He has been engaged before but if he does get married the dynamics of his social life change entirely.

Truth is he will have a classy World Cup and he will behave and invariably a number of clubs will make a bid for him including Liverpool and Spurs!
Question is will Wenger make a bid!

The problem with Benzema (who is just as good as Balotelli), is that Real Madrid may prefer to give him a new contract. Benzema wants to stay at Madrid which is a problem because Madrid will need to push him out of the door. That will be difficult if continues his goal scoring at the world cup and especially if Suarez goes out. It will be difficult for Madrid to justify spending so much money on Suarez the season after wasting so much money on Bale.

Bale is considered a success for them though Jenius.

No he isn't. However the heavy criticism he was getting stopped after that wonderful goal against Barca.

Bale cost more than C.Ronaldo. And fairly or unfairly they expect to see a better player when clearly he isn't. But the point was not so much abt expectation of spending €100m. Its more that Madrid have to justify all the spending based on marketing return. Suarez wasn't target last season because of that. And Bale's marketing return is not of the level of Messi or C.Ronaldo which pretty obvious because of media attention they both get compared to Bale. Madrid need to build that before they splash another £75m. And Suarez not doing anything so far in the world cup hurts the chances of Madrid buying him this season.

Better than Costa?

Costa is a F2 car driven by Vettel. Balotelli is a F1 car driven by a young talent.

Truth is Costa is well spent after a season of a lot of running for Atletico just like Giroud! He is a very good skillful player and his performances at the end of the season and for Spain aren't reflective of his qualities.

I would take Benzema over Balotelli too. I know Balo has it in him to be a better player, but his attitude holds him back. And I don't mean the off the field stuff or training ground fights, I mean his habit of letting games pass him by and becoming a complete passenger because some days he just doesn't seem to fancy it. That is my main concern with him.
