Karim Benzema

[Marc Overmars]

This seems to be causing a frenzy on Twitter tonight.

I think we can safely deduce; its on!

A source who is rarely wrong tells me Arsenal are close to the signing that would make them genuine contenders. We shall see...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Who?

Main presenter of BT Sports over here who are Sky Sports' rivals for TV Sports broadcasting.

Unlike the gimps who do the punditry and reporting he actually seems reasonably sensible from the vibe I get from watching him (and from his CBBC and BBC F1 days tbh) and he doesn't seem like the type to troll or spread false information deliberately.

I think he's being sincere and honest in reporting this though that doesn't necessarily mean that his source is correct.


I still have a hard time believing it's Benzema though for reasons already explained in the other thread .... i.e. Real not willing to sell him nor likely that Benzema would force a move currently. I think Reus or Draxler are more likely options for a "major signing" than Benzema tbh.

Jake Humphry is a decent presenter and rarely posts something just for the "likes" and although this Benzema thing is too good to be true, it would be a BEAST of a signing.

Ian Wright also posted something recently about Benzema (writing Benzema and then a loads of "praying" icons so it seems like there is something going on behind the scenes.

Jake Humprey's a clown. Doubt he knows anything. All this ITK shit is always useless. Ex-players like Wright wouldn't know anything either. Unless it's imminent - by which time David Ornstein has usually said something - you can't even say that there's anything going on with this.

But wouldn't put it past Real Madrid to do something mental in the final few days of the window.
