ARSENAL HUNT KARIM BENZEMA

Arsene Wenger ready to hijack £30million United move

ARSENAL are ready to hijack the Manchester United move for France striker Karim Benzema.

The Gunners board will be prepared to fund a £30million fee for Lyon's Benzema, 21, if Arsene Wenger opts to cash in on Emmanuel Adebayor.

AC Milan have been considering making a new move for Adebayor this week. Togo ace Adebayor, 25, has also been linked with a move to Inter Milan and even Chelsea.

United are in pole position to lure Benzema - but he is also on Real Madrid's radar. The player says he would prefer another season at Lyon to make sure he cements a place in the France side for the World Cup. But the club's owners have hinted that a bid of more than £30m would turn their heads.

Gunners chief Wenger has been a long-term fan of Benzema. There were suggestions last summer he had a verbal deal with Lyon offering him first refusal.

On the face of it, £30m would seem out of Arsenal's range. But the Arsenal board have approved up to £40m on new signings this summer and the sale of Adebayor would boost the transfer pot.

Wenger hopes to sign Brazil midfield ace Felipe Melo, 26, from Fiorentina. But the Serie A club may want £25m with Arsenal valuing him at £15m.

Hello Man United Fan

Where is Benzima now then?.........

Certainly not at OT with the great Sir Alex is he....

AS I have previouly quoted.. Top players do not want to go to OT anymore console yourselves if the great coup of bthe transfer window with... Whats his name ? Valencia from WIGAN??????

I just had to chuckle on teh spin in the papers today of What a great signing for United!!!

Enjoy and watch the demise over the next 3 years

By Steve. Posted July 1 2009 at 10:09 PM.

to me the best signing will be the signing of flepi melo.so pl, arsene try to sign the strong and forceful melo .if u do so arsenal can win any trophy.

By mulugeta.b.mekonnen. Posted July 1 2009 at 9:21 AM.

HAHAHAHA! You Arsenal Fans Think Your Going To Hijack United For Karim Benzema Think Again! United Have Put In A £38M Bid For The French Man, One Of His Team Mates Has Already Said That Karim Benzema Is So Close To Signing For Sir Alex :) SUCKERS :)

By Man Utd Fan. Posted July 1 2009 at 6:00 AM.

i would like to see wenger sign benzema.he is very strong,fast,agile and has a very good shot in his leg.seeing him partner van persie will be a pleasure mtach to watch.also i think he should sign melo because he could just sit behind and let fabregas run loose like he like to..i am not too sure if we still need d likes of gallas and silvestre coz i think they are already burnt out by there previous clubs.Eboue also needs to go.Least we all 4get we still av the likes of eduardo, rosicky, vela, ramsey, wilshire, song, abou diaby and so on.so technically arsenals team for next season is looking great if we do sign the necessary players..

By David. Posted July 1 2009 at 2:29 AM.

Wenger has been able to keep Arsenal in the top four with little cost to Arsenal in terms of new players. Please let him spend more this time around and put Arsenal in the top two and in the Champions League final. Wenger and Arsenal deserved them.

ARSENAL is only club delivers young atalent players in the world

karim benzema is a fantastic player he help his club a lot and wants to to get better player.I will be happy if he joins manchester united cause of ronaldo move

By hafiz. Posted June 30 2009 at 7:27 AM.

Wenger, should sign a strong defensive midfielder, like felipe melo or daniel de rossi(roma daling).

he should sell adebayor and sign benzema or dzeko. because with KING cesc,knight arshavin,detroyer watchot and dangerous vampersie and invicible samir.

wenger should sell Galas and find a good defender that can help kolo and vamaleem in defence.

By vitus. Posted June 29 2009 at 8:09 PM.

i am in stitches at u gooners u all write off united but amybody that no's anything about footie no's we are still the driving forcwe of the prem and as for benzema we already have his shirt size glory hunters we are if we werent whats the point lol!!!

By mr laffalot. Posted June 29 2009 at 4:58 PM.

I hope it's not one of Wenger's gimmicks to find a way out and not buy better players.He is very notorious for showing interest and relax later on. He
likes squarding us.If he does this time around we won't take it lightly with him because we are tired of being mocked by other teams fans.We are tired of going without trophies.If he proofs me wrong well that would be great.We are waiting to see.

By joshua Alie Kamara. Posted June 29 2009 at 3:53 PM.

KARIM WOULD B A GUD ACQUISATION 4 ARSENAL BUT AS FAR AS HE IS IN THE PICTURE DEFENCE AND DEFENCIV MID SHOULD ALSO BE CONSIDERED. DEFINATELY ANOTHER CENTRAL DEFENDA IS NEEDED N ALSO MELO SHOULD B SIGND.

By BENJAMIN frm NAIROBI. Posted June 29 2009 at 7:55 AM.

arsenal wont sign benzeima they avnt got enough money, plus wenger should concerntrate on gettin sum english players considering its supposed to b an english team

By jackson dossa. Posted June 29 2009 at 1:54 AM.

makes me lauf that everyone else critisises the gunners young team becos at the end of the day give them 3 or 4 years nd there players will be at the peaks of there career nd the benzema signing isnt out of reach its possible jst makes me lauf bout man u to be honest there team is gettin pulled apart there only splashin the cash cos there glory hunters.

By callum1. Posted June 29 2009 at 12:44 AM.

in reply to Sir Manure's mail posted tonight at 10.50pm well remember that our academy boys took thepisso home and away for the past few years against your main guns. So we might have won nothing for few years but i would be worried to be a Manure fan this season cause Giggs, scholes, Neville . Ronaldo (soz he is gone) Tevez (gone too) so what don't you be a good boy put your sandals on and go and help your boys. Ps: don't forget your bucket and spade Sir sand pet big fat bellytubbies

By Gunners Fan. Posted June 28 2009 at 11:41 PM.

Its very sad to see how Arsenal fans are comforting themselves. when did arsenal win anything? Big players with big names they need clubs where they can win titles not just hoping for many years as arsenal. Keep your in wenger and never win any titles because they are not for a academy boys.....

By Sir Man U.. Posted June 28 2009 at 10:50 PM.

It wil b nice seeing benzema as an arsenal player bt more importantly get fellipe melo 4 fabregas in middle.pls arsene.

By Oladunjoye oluyinka. Posted June 28 2009 at 10:22 PM.

It will be one of the biggest and the best signing for arsenal for the Frenchman as he is young,Fast,Finisher like Arshavin and great player to complete ARSENAL. They could use the formation like this:
ALMUNIA
Sagna Toure Vermelean Clichy
Arshavin Fabregas (C) Rosicky Nasri
Van Persie Benzema

By Omar Riaz. Posted June 28 2009 at 10:13 PM.

these are all just rumours... arsenal will never ever ever get him or ribery or any star they are poised to sign... n im a true hearted gunners fan

By azeem javed. Posted June 28 2009 at 10:33 PM.

and one more think If benzema denied it does not matter as arsenal could sign some other good dudes out there like if they can try to sign Luis Fabiano, or we could replace bendtener or Eduardo from Jozy Altidore
it will be perfect as he is young a good player we could also sign Podolski,Mario Gomez,Guiza after fine Performance today or we could just depend on Eduardo in strike

By Omar Riaz. Posted June 28 2009 at 10:32 PM.

although we are not use to seen players of $30,$40 and $50,but these time we believe that we are goin to see one or two by the likes of Benzema, melo and others commin.GO ARSENAL !!yeeeeeeeeeh we trust and in it we shall believe next season.

By nazifi. Posted June 28 2009 at 9:36 PM.

well done wenger,benzima is a much better player than adeyaor,faster ,more quicker,and muchhhhhhh better finisher.with van-persie fit .this will definately be our year 100000%

By gunners 4 lyfe. Posted June 28 2009 at 8:24 PM.

benzema would be a fantastic signin for us and who knows wot will happen. man u wont have all the cash from the ronaldo deal to spend as they are in so much debt. we will be better and stronger either way next season, with or without benzema! ppl have seem to forgotten the players we have comin back nxt season. rosisky, eduardo, clichy, diaby to name a few. also we will have fit again fab and walcott hopefully fresh. these could be like new signings straight away. we have just signed vermalaen so the backs lookin good. a dm would be good but benzema could just be the diff. up the gunners!! my 11

Almunia
clichy, toure, vermelaen, sagna
nasri, fab, rosiscky, walcott,
arshavin, eduardo

By th e wiz. Posted June 28 2009 at 8:22 PM.

It will be an excellent buy, but needs to come with Melo for it to work. Melo loves the hard work in the mid field, and is not afraid to commit a few fouls(17 yellow cards and 3 red cards last season), reminds me of Viera. You add this mix to Fab, RVP, Walcott and Arshavin watch out.

By Albert. Posted June 28 2009 at 7:02 PM.

Pls wenger kindly do me a favour, get BENZEMA! BENZEMA!! BENZEMA!!! BENZEMA!!!! In arsene we trust.

By Akan. Posted June 28 2009 at 6:54 PM.

Arsenal is gradually turning a force as far as transfer is concern.Arsene go 4 Karim.

By Andy. Posted June 28 2009 at 6:31 PM.

i think wenger sud buy essien,yaya toure and melo,then we cn challenge 4 trophies.sell adebayo and get dzeko.in wenger we trust

By Martin,arsenal 4 lyf. Posted June 28 2009 at 6:12 PM.

He a ruthless one,just what THE GUNNERS need right now,just imagining an Arsenal team forwards led by King Cesc,Arshavin Knight ''the assasin'',Theo Thunderbolt and RVP the MVP,that makes next season successful before it even starts,but like I said,am just imagining,the bid came late and there are richer clubs after him,if he chooses us over them,we'l take the fairy tale the way it is!!

By Albert Pax. Posted June 28 2009 at 5:42 PM.

hello out there.. i see there is alot of Man united fans leaving comments {bad}. well first of all if ye think alex ferg will get all that money on the ronaldo deal to spend well ye are wrong.. latest figures show that yer club is in serious debt. ye owe more than 2 1/2 more times money than arsenal do.Also yer owners are in finacial difficulties in the states and if ye dont believe that well check it up.Now arsenal are in alot better situation than Man united. our debt is going down while uniteds keep rising bit by bit.. jersey sales around the world will decrease for man united because of ronaldo leaving.. he was the most popular figure for marketing the jersey around... also i read arsenal can not compete with man united spending power..that just shows there is hardly now more young good talent coming through the ranks at man united{just like giggs scholes did}.arsenal do have money but wenger does not pay stupid money on players that is not worth it {carl pobosky}unlike man united who is now held to ransom by clubs.benzema is a fab player and my gut feeling is he would join arsenal over man united .. arsenal has not one a trophy is four years but that is soon to end so i say he would think its better to join a team young and that has a big future than a team that is old and dying.. expect man united to fall into rebuilding there team over the next few years to challenge again for major honours..in wenger we trust


By stephen. Posted June 28 2009 at 5:04 PM.

i really hope Gunners sign benzema. he is a great striker in d world.please wenger get him.

By jinkas. Posted June 28 2009 at 4:17 PM.

Arsene Wenger start getting that check book out, This guy will work wonders with rvp and cesc behind them. We need a Dm and a Striker. Be prepared to spend money Wenger, it will go to a good cause and us arsenal fans will be extremely happy. Now get him before UTD do!

In Arsene We Trust.

By Jameslee. Posted June 28 2009 at 3:13 PM.

As an Arsenal fan, wish it was true but sure its not. Utd. havd plenty to spend after selling Ronaldo so they can easily outbid us and they can afford to pay him higher wages. Why would he come to Arsenal if Utd. are interested in him, honestly? Much as it saddens me to say it Utd. are far the better team at the moment and winning things consistently whereas Arsenal didn't win in 5 years now. Only thing i can think that might make him choose Arsenal would be the fact that he would be a guaranteed starter here, and possibly not for Man. Utd. Can't believe for a minute any team would be mad enough to pay 25 million for Ade either but i hope we bite their hand off if they do!

By Ellie. Posted June 28 2009 at 2:58 PM.

Yer Arse-nil fans are dreaming to much, do you think you could actually buy him? Why would he join a team that hasnt won a title in 4 years? Pfft pathetic dreaming losers. He's either going to Man Utd or Real Madrid. PS Arsenal fan from Macedonia, advantages that he's french? We have 1 better advantage: WE WIN TITLES.

By Alhssan Ghali. Posted June 28 2009 at 2:53 PM.

Ac milan pls kindly buy ade,he wuld suit ur style of play,we don't need him in our team anymore,and i also wish my prof is able use the cash to acquire benzema,imagine arsenal attack wit theo speed,benzema's goal sense and power,arshavin's intelligence,rvp's sense,and rosiky experience if he is fit.ade shld go.

By Yusuf ahmed. Posted June 28 2009 at 2:38 PM.

I disagree with the fact that Arsene Wenger is Arsenal's problem. I think the board is tight fisted by not releasing enough funds to buy players. They should be careful not to make a silly decision coz another season without a silverware could be suicidal for we the Arsenal fans. We are not saying they should spend extravagantly but spend rightly bringing in players that can deliver. GUNNERS 4EVA! (NIGERIA)

By YODUS. Posted June 28 2009 at 2:37 PM.

Benzima is a perfect replcement 4 ade,what wenga has to do is to land him plus mello en if possible yaya then the season will be gud.

By Koriko. Posted June 28 2009 at 1:26 PM.

best for united.

By By manu fan. Posted June 28 2009 at 1:26 PM.

It's about time the Prof brought out the checkbook and spend some money if Arsenal really wanna challenge the Manus,chelseas...Benzema? Good for Arsenal.Gunners 4eva

By PitaDrock. Posted June 28 2009 at 1:08 PM.

why spend all that money on benz when we clearly struggle at gk cb and dm i think hatmony we do have shudgo on essien, lescott and tim howard. this shud sure up our failures of last season and install confidence in me and millions more, if ade do go im sure dider drogba would be a very good aquistion. IN ARSENE WE TRUST

By thierry henry. Posted June 28 2009 at 1:08 PM.

i think Wenger has a good chances,if he cash in for Adebayor and with the money from the board it will be enough to land down Benzema,Wenger advantage vs fergie is that he is a French and Benzema is a French,and Benzema is young player surely he will want to move to Arsenal because Wenger is wellknown as a developer of the young players.AC Milan are negotiaing for Adebayor,his price is about 20 millions pounds

By Arsenal fan from Macedonia. Posted June 28 2009 at 12:49 PM.

Exceptional footballer, everything he does on the field is world class. His demeanour and atitude isn't the best in the world sometimes, and can easily be destracted. I hope RVP will bring us the success back to Arsenal. Good luck next season

By Adil. Posted June 28 2009 at 12:47 PM.

One, Arsenal should not buy Micah Richards. He is not as good as some people would want the rest of us to believe.
Importantly, Kaka who has just joined Real does not worth all noise. This guy is not only sluggish but also not Cristo Ronaldo or the former French captain.

By John. Posted June 28 2009 at 12:51 PM.

Haha i hpe this is true bu wat we need s a hard central midfielder nd a nther full back. Keep ade , sell eboue , buy melo , yay yay toure , richards...gt im fit nd we av a klas player tere. And arshavin shud b bside v.persie dis year . Cmon da arsenal.....1,liverpool..2,arsenal,3,chelsea,4,city,5,villa,6,mancheter utd, and we do av da money people jst we spend it ryt!! Nt lke chelsea on shev or man utd on harv.. Nd man city wil b a gud team n abou 3 years

By Macdarasullivan. Posted June 28 2009 at 12:31 PM.

we r only gonna get bezema if we sell ade first!!!!

By BrAdErZ. Posted June 28 2009 at 12:23 PM.

Sell Adebayor....ASAP....for whatever we can get him for (probably not much the lazy....), and get someone who's decent and wants to play for the club, otherwise next season will be like the rest....nice passing, a goal here and there...but no real spine, no real threat to anyone!!


By Steve. Posted June 28 2009 at 12:13 PM.

No doubts pls karim bezema is 4 man united becos they have go the money and they are also the champions

By manu 4 reva. Posted June 28 2009 at 12:08 PM.

Arsene Wenger is the problem with arsenal.He is an accountant interested ONLY in fattening the BOARDS purses.I have resigned to arsenals fate(FAILURE)under wenger.He knows the players to buy,he has the money,he knows those he should sell but like the typical scrooge that he is,he will not do the right thing.I only wish is that all arsenal fans will rise up together and DEMAND for his IMMEDIATE removal as arsenal DESERVES BETTER.

By eduarsenal4ever. Posted June 28 2009 at 12:03 PM.

Although i'd love to see benzema at arsenal i don't think its going to happen and i think we should give adebayor another season chance to prove himself.

as for man u fans youve lost 2 players who scored over 70 percent of your goals last season and knowone wants to come to you!! whereas arsenal have bougfht verminator and r in market for melo, benzema and ribery.

By lukey g. Posted June 28 2009 at 11:38 AM.

Benzema wud b a fantastic signing 4us just wot ARSENAL need but we also need a midfielder like Senna sum1 who can tackle hard. Good things guna happen this year at the EMIRATES cum on the gunners!!

By chris. Posted June 28 2009 at 11:39 AM.

I support arsenal but there starting to annoy me, why dont they just sell ade, nic, eboue and buy richards, aguero and a keeper because almunia is not world class

By Mon£y. Posted June 28 2009 at 11:33 AM.

Benzema would be an excellent signing for Arsenal, but we mainly need a hard tackling man in midfield just like Flamini. Man-U just made 90 million out of CR so unless Arsenal get their check book out Man-U will win the fight.

By AFC4LIFE. Posted June 28 2009 at 11:26 AM.

Who on earth would pay £25mil for Adebayor???? £12mil at best....

By Blimey. Posted June 28 2009 at 11:15 AM.

As a chelsea fan...

I tell you what Arsenal should do, sell adebayor for around 25million. Put 10million in for benzema he would be a GREAT signing

By Ratman. Posted June 28 2009 at 11:05 AM.

yes, the manager can buy BZEM. and sell Ade 4 the better future of the Gunners.there are many rwandans that lv Arsenal and ARSNE WENGER u can ask kolo tuore.

By 4sure a gooner.. Posted June 28 2009 at 11:04 AM.

I hope this is not just a rumour, let it be real because Benz is one hot, sharp, fast, and exprience striker. We really need someone like him in our squad. Also let us go for MELO 2 stil help FAB in our mildfield, i think we wil win trophies this time.

By Obasi (Gunners till i die). Posted June 28 2009 at 10:59 AM.

Will be a great signing to have Benzema .And we need him plus one dm player. We have to buy, if need to win.

By Jb.ndaki. Posted June 28 2009 at 10:53 AM.

Arsenals problem is, would they be able to match the wages Manchester United could pay him

By alan kearn. Posted June 28 2009 at 10:46 AM.

So many condemning comments, especially by Man Utd fans. Anyway, i'm sure Arsene is out this time to shut his critics. I'm confident that if Ade could go, Benzema'll definitely come in to the Emirates. But, this is to you Mr. Wenger, be ready to spend this time.

By Akinwunmi King. Posted June 28 2009 at 10:43 AM.

yeah yeah
same thing every year.
but, in case that u forgot, it is You who did not win the league for... how many years? ;)

He's not Yours yet, and won't be.
mark my words.

By ax. Posted June 28 2009 at 10:34 AM.

Put it this way arsenal will bid 30million and United will simply come in and bid 35mil Arsenal cannot compete with Uniteds spending powers and if ferguson really wants him he will put the money on the table besides who would you join - a team who is on the verge of making history with 4 titles in a row or a team which hasnt won one single trophy in 5years and half their big name stars are courting moves away -seems a no brainer to me!!

By Gunnernotmanc. Posted June 28 2009 at 10:11 AM.

Arsenal need 2 sell ade as he thinks hes as gd as henry was for arsenal! Wot a fool he is. Ben would be nice but is he really that gd only time will tell. Arsenal need ya yay toure ir derossi from roma. Also we should gett richards from man city on the cheap we get them types of players and we will push the manks all the way! Wenger best manager in the world keep the faith!

By True gooner. Posted June 28 2009 at 10:12 AM.

Can it happen??? benzema 2 arsenal... most unlikely. bt if it does then i guess my season hs jst began. i also think wenger should cash on ade,bentner,eboue,diaby and i guess he knws we urgently need a midfielder. melo wuld be gr8.would also luv if we cn buy bck hleb.

So bringing in 1 more striker will win you the prem? doubt it, arsenal are crap and will struggle to finish 4th again

By Sami Missous. Posted June 28 2009 at 9:40 AM.

By narinder heer. Posted June 28 2009 at 9:10 AM.

By Marlon Alex James. Posted June 28 2009 at 8:48 AM.

Why not? To deny United from getting a cheap Benz after receiving a princely sum for CR. Either ways United will have to pay for (Benz, Aguero)replacement (Tevez, CR).


By soccerinteg. Posted June 28 2009 at 8:47 AM.

What a shame that it suddenly appears nobody wants to go to Man U........?

I hope that Arsenal get Benzema as I cant see him wanting to play with ageing players at OT along with exodus of prime talent..... who next to leave? could it be Fergie himself.............

Karim benzima will be kool for gunners, but fans should know that a striker alone cant do the job. i think wenger needs a tough and more experience mid field.

By elly. Posted June 28 2009 at 8:09 AM.

Benzema!?! If this true, and we sign him, the mighty Arsenal are on the up. In Arsene we trust, he knows what he's doing at the club, doubters be afraid.....be very afraid!

By GoonerKEV. Posted June 28 2009 at 7:50 AM.

2.Buy Benz

By Abdulganeey. Posted June 28 2009 at 4:26 AM.

Yiddo here, and even I think Arsenal have more chance of signing him than MU. It's the French connection and WC year being the main difference. He'll start more for Arsenal than he would at MU.

If they have the money to get him he's a real possibility unless RM or Barc show interest.

I love how the arsenal fans come on here and talk crap about their own team. just like at the emirates. Unless you are on the board at arsenal you dont know how much money they have to spend. Wenger just says they are broke so teams dont expect them to act retarded like man city

Arsenal in for Benzema, Ribery and Hleb. Silly season has truly peaked!

I can't tell if Mursal is being sarcastic cause even that line up won't win you the title.

Well Van Parsie looks like he is on his way out or perhaps we should flog Adebayor to the Chavs or Inter who desperately want him and we can invest in Benzema. Go on Wenger, you know you want to.

thats the closest we will get to signing him ... i.e. in papers :D .... he is bound for Real Madrid.

sure.next we will bid 50 mil for ribery

By Troy. Posted June 28 2009 at 12:45 AM.

No way we'll sign him, neither will United.

He'll play in Spain.

Wenger would NEVER spend that much on one player, especially one who's vastly unproven at the top level.

not one chance that this will ever happen! nice thought but very much rubbish!
