yeah he was never tested in a big club yet.. but so far he has been more than great at a middle club. He has won the league before which is good.
Benzema on the other hand has failed at a big club (so far) and his lyon days are not as good as Dzeko's current days.
Sure he can create assists.. but to who? we need a poacher more than a creative player. Ronaldinho & cassano are 10 times as creative as benzema but we arent running after them. I doubt we will get a creative player. I believe pazzini or dzeko are better choices. They would also boost Krasic.
I didn't watch Benzema a lot in Lyon, but in his last year and a half I don't remember him creating for himself at all. Actually, I'm convinced that Benzema isn't more technical than Dzeko. Technique wise I'd say they are at the same level.
Can't wait for this deal to happen, 40m would be a lot but I think he justifies the pricetag as he is still young and would be banging in goals for many many years.
We all do mate, hopefully Madrid and City won't go after him, especially the Citizens. According to Marca, Real will sign Hugo Almeida in January. Or my spanish sucks. I seriously doubt Bayern will bid for him considering Gomez's form.
