I hope Rodgers does this. This would be the first sensible thing he did in the transfer market this season. Fingers crossed. If Torres returns on loan, the two can make a terrific partnership up front.

Benzema won't even go to Liverpool. He turned Liverpool down flat in the summer and said they weren't big enough.

Why would a top class player like him go there unless you offer huge wages which the owners it seems prefer not to?

If he wouldn't go at the end of last season who in their right mind thinks he wants to go after seeing where they are now, with no real chance of getting back into the Champions League any time soon

what Liverpool need is defense, Rdgers is a great offensive coach but his defensive organisation is championship level.

Go to Liverpool and miss potentially successive UCL title with Madrid? LOL sure...

Benzema won't go to Liverpool, he'd wanna leave real for a big club like Chelsea arsenal united villa Southampton Everton Tottenham, city Burnley Leicester, Swansea, west ham, Newcastle Sunderland, you know anyone besides Liverpool

"A big club like Chelsea"!

With respect to you, but fuck off with that statement. Chelsea have a history of about 8 years total, and that's only because of some Russian gangster billionaire decided to buy them for his pet project. Liverpool have 18 league titles and 5 European cups, as well as a load of other trophies built over a period of decades doing it the hard way.

Edit - just read the rest of your teams you think are bigger clubs? Aye, you're a fucking quime and a half alright. Do one, troll!

Other than that, you're probably right about Benzema not wanting to go to Liverpool.

He won't leave for Liverpool, Chelsea or anyone for that matter. Why the heck will he leave the best team in the world right now? 21 wins in a row, holders and favourites for this year's UCL?

Please be serious, Liverpool can't afford him nor his wages and Chelsea don't need him nor will Madrid sell him.

It's not so much a case of him leaving as Real getting rid of him. They need a new Galactico attacking player in there and they've run out of space on the wings (CR7 and Bale) and no10 (James). Di Maria, Ozil and Higuain made way before. If Aguero, Cavani or Falcao are next then Benzema could be told to take a hike.

Can't see Madrid getting rid though. He's in the form of his life and has influential people like Zidane supporting him at the club.

Out of those 3 mentioned, only Aguero is likely, youngest and most talented.

And if rumours are to be believed, Madrid can't afford another Galactico, they have to pay around $250m in debts in the next calendar year, half of the believed club debt. Although and doubt it's that high.

Madrid will want £50m easily, form and age makes £50m as a starting point a no brainer. Liverpool can't afford that money and his wage will be higher than anyone else at the club. FFP and wage structure at Liverpool would be destroyed by him.
