Karim Benzema has renewed his contract for another 5 years!

I used to dislike Benzema for his erratic form, but I've come to respect him a lot this season, especially after I realized how important he is to helping both Bale and Ronaldo stay in the same lineup. He's the man who has been outstandingly setting up the two freaks of nature on the wings, and scoring his fair share of goals. Best signing we've made so far. I'm delighted! :D

Im delighted to see you enjoy this, Carlo is no fool, Falcao may not work for his teammates while Karim play for the team, he is very underrated even with his salary because he is the less spectacular one, but for building fast counter attacking Karim is one of the best.
I though he would move to PL in a team where he would be the main striker, he can have this profile but with Zidane on his side, he can still progress there.
If you add the extra goals Falcao scored on PKs, he could have been closer in goalscoring, he isnt the man of hattricks but most of his goals are important and he seems to handle well the big pressure on every Madrid player shoulders.
Many had quit Madrid for this specific reason, i personnally wouldnt fight for a starting place my whole life.
I would have been happy to see Karim moving to France or England, as a Barça fan you know :).

@Tiki

If he moves to France or England, then you guys will have a much easier time in the Clasicos. ;)

@Dynastian: Dude that front four looked amazing today against Sevilla...are you kidding me? Ronaldo, Bale, James, Benz and Kroos!! If Real does not win LaLiga and UCL it will be a massive failure....

@Ashwin

Yes, thoroughly impressed by Kroos' performance today. Was solid offensively and defensively. James looked a bit off-touch, but I'm expecting him to be much better mid-season. Ronaldo, Benzema, and Bale are lethal as usual. I'm very satisfied with the performance. Sevilla are no easy team to beat.

280M Pounds worth of fire power in there (considering only 5 above mentioned players)...I doubt the complete Manchester United/Arsenal teams costs that much.. :P

Kaaarim !!!!! one of the most underrated players in the world! the best 9½ in the world imo.

^ Yep, but don't forget that Suarez can also play in that position. ;)

He's the only one I can think of who can play better than Benzema as a false nine, but Suarez prefers the #9 over anything. And I don't count Messi because he scores more goals than all his wingers combined, so it's not a 'true' false nine position that he occupies.
