With Milito getting back to form and Eto playing as he is, Benzema will not be a starter at Inter -lets say he has a <30% chance. If we multiply that by the times(in %) Benitez fielded an attacking formation(<25%), that gives that transfer less than 8% field time.
And if they lose their best full-back they will be exposed, especially in taking the ball out of their half. If Real are asking for cash that means either Maicon's value has heavily declined over the last month(and make no mistake MAICON is the main reason behind all of this) or Benzema is asking for a golden handshake...
I think our management has to show awareness now and try to get into Benzema's head. Would he rather compete with Milito, Eto and Co. or with Amauri, Iaquinta and Co.???
