There was no doubt at all that Mourinho finds Benzema very annoying. Just look at Mou's reactions when Benzema will miss a chance. He never makes those grimaces when anyone else misses a chance, but always for Benzema.
Still, this is truly unbelievable if he said it.
Tie the player down for next season. But if you don't get a passing grade from Mourinho, your value is cut in half immediately, fairly or unfairly.
Hopefully Madrid pulls a Walter Samuel and sells him to us for 3M Euros. The dude will have to take a major paycut though, as he probably should. He isn't worth that sort of money. Good player, but nowhere near world class.

It was kinda stupid to say it, though. There must be something really big that annoys Mourinho too much. In times when he doesn't have a single striker apart from Benzema it's probably the best to try and motivate him instead of this.
But I can't say much since I don't know what's producing this animosity.
As for Benz, I agree with Andy. I watch a lot of Madrid matches and yes, from time to time one could notice glimpses of brilliance in Benzema's game, but that's like 2% of everything he does. Most of the time he fucks up chances and build ups.
Also, he must lose weight. He's becoming too slow and way too fat for a professional footballer.

Probably. It could be seen from his play that he once had it and he can do that again.
What's worrying me most of all is the fact that he doesn't seem to read the play well, and that's a problem for a striker. Ozil and Di Maria are new players but Higuain got used to them very quickly. The Argie was involved in the build up and he opened up excellently, always giving the final pass option to the playmakers. Benz is like a lost kid in that attacking quartet Real have. He doesn't seem to know where to position himself and is preventing the three Real players behind him play the passing game well. Sometimes he's almost like a defender, defending against Ronaldo's, Di Maria's and Ozil's attacks.
