Arsene Wenger has confirmed Arsenal have not made a bid for Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema.

If Benitez is keen to play Ronaldo as a lone forward it makes sense. £17.8m is a bit low though.

They're just testing the water. They'll smash that with a pound coin soon after.

I know the circumstances are different, and I know he wouldn't come to us.

But if Arsenal pay £20m for Benzema and we pay £32m for Benteke i will cry like a small child.

Sounds like Delph has changed his mind again and is going to City

That's the Benteke effect.

They're desperate, absolutely desperate. He'll probably be on £150k p/w ffs.

Villa in all kinds of trouble without those two!

I still have a sneaky feeling they might be interested in Balotelli. I could imagine Sherwood believing he could work his "magic" on him. I suppose the wages would be the issue there though.

I watched Madrid train today in Melbourne and they were playing a front 3 with Benzema in the middle. I doubt they'll sell him.

Delph going would be hilarious after all his "I'm not leaving and looking forward to captaining this great club" spiel about 3 days ago!!

Having his medical now according to the bbc ticker thing.

[Chazza]

Either promises broken by Villa or new promises made by City.

150k a week is not that much tbh. certainly not for a player like Benzema.
