Imo Benzema needs to go to a team like Arsenal, he is the kind of player who needs stability and be the main striker in his team. RM are playing for CR7 and this causes a lot of trouble to Benz. I believe he is way better than Negredo and exactly the same style of striker : Very strong with good vision, clinical finishing but less defensive...
Benzema was one of the biggest case in RM, scoring against Barça and one of the best scorers in CL, thats why he was prefered to Higuian who is also a monster. But the liga suited more Higuian than Benzema.
I belive Benz talent can be optimazed the best in England, he can play direct Football, Counter-attacks, placed organized attacks...etc
Imo he needs to quit RM quickly because his talent is wasted there and he doesnt have the confidence he needs.

Giroud wouldnt have done the half of Karim work at RM, French players are better made for EPL.
He does not suit in Mou style of play because Mou will be more demanding at the defensive work but i believe Moyes or Wenger would be happy to have him. He was far better than Giroud in la ligue 1...
