He currently makes 8M a year at Real. How much of a pay cut would you think he will be willing to take to join us? Our highest paid player, Buffon, makes 5M a year. Seeing that Marotta is now focused on paying attention on our wage budget, Benzema would at least have to accept a wage cut of half what he's currently earning at Real. He obviously has to take a wage cut to join most of the other clubs. How much of a wage cut would he be willing to take is more appropriate question in our case.
Agreed. Benzema is young & im pretty sure he's not short sighted. He will take a pay cut & once he gets back into his normal game, he can obviously look for a pay rise. It's not like he's 32, he still has ambition & the urge to win major trophies.
He'll take a wage cut between 2/4m.
Who cares about saving a non EU spot when Dzeko is the best taker for it anyway.
Exactly.
Benzema would be a gamble because he's lazy and hasn't got regular playing time for a while now. If it's only one of them, then definitely Dzeko.
How is he lazy? Are you part of the medical staff at Real? It's kinda hard to get your momentum going when you're played out of position & not given a extended run of time.
People get bent out of shape over Benzema's wages, when in fact Dzeko will command as much, perhaps more, money as Benzema.
Forget those 8m. It's an unrealistic figure and only works for a club like Real Madrid. Only Man City could offer the same or more but I doubt he would go there. Dzeko earns around 3.5m in Wolfsburg and is probably the hottest striker on the market, his demands will be anywhere between 4-6m. Benzema would join Juventus for anything between 4-6m, no doubt.
Dzeko can choose where he wants to go, don't think he'll be modest with wages folks. I wouldn't be surprised if earns more than Buffon.
tup:
Actually that post doesnt mean Iaq is better it means Benz is not better which means they could be equal
As for that post it was obviously an exeggeration by my part and if you didn`t understand it then you should look to the post I made for Byrone which said it
ofcourse Benz is better than Iaquinta but I don`t think Benz is as good as our forum makes him to be
Dzeko is top 3 strikers in the world and has a goalscoring record that shows it
Benz is good nothing more IMO but even if I underate him I can`t underate him that much he is no Dzeko
as for Benz is overated he did show good form for Lyon but just them at Real he did nothing + he is a good SS and a good scorrer but he isn`t great at eigther of them and that makes him overated IMO
Stop trying to back track. Saying you rate Iaquinta more than you rate Benzema means Iaquinta>Benzema in your opinion. If thats not the case, im going back to high school & im gonna sue my english teacher for terrible english.
I am Byrone, dude.
How long has Dzeko been performing? It all boils down to his current form. Do you really think Dzeko will peform like that for ever? He will have a dip in form & then some members like yourself will label him a waste.
So if a player does nothing at Real that means they're overrated? Sneijder, Robben? Given the right environment, team & people around him, he'll certainly turn his fortunes around.
Your last sentence is pure gold buddy, you make the WC trophy seem like a bronze trophy.
I'd definitely take torres over Dzeko anyday.
30 Mill is too much for Dzeko and just enough for Torres.
Benzema, max 15 mill for this flop. Very overrated indeed.
Dzeko is borderline world class, torres is worlclass, Benzema is above average.
