Rio Ferdinand: "The Lad Can Certainly Play"

[carlyluvsunited]

Our Rio is a pretty damn good defender.

Over the years nothing much has bothered him and to be honest not too many
players impress him.

His job is to stop strikers and WOW he must be one of the best in the world at
this.

So after the Lyon game on Wednesday when Rio was heard to say: "Their lad
Benzema can play" - this is high praise indeed for the 20 year old Lyon forward.

"He is a good player and one with a big price tag on his head at the moment.
There will be a lot of clubs interested in him by the end of the season."

I know we have a thread about Benzema ...

I was interested in what people think of Benzema after Wednesday though ...

Then we can merge the threads ...

I would imagine Fergie will take that as a recommendation - but is Benzema what
we need ?

Would he fit in with United ?

[eoininho]

Fergie has taken advice from defenders before, Ronaldo for example..

I reckon we'll be in for him in the summer and if he has any sense he'll go to the right club and not destroy his potential at madrid etc!!

[CROoney]

he looks pacy and as a player who can cause problems... nothing more to add at the moment

[unitedred]

The 'Bring Benzema to United' pressure is gathering pace.

Rio, Vidic and Evra all had their say aswell as SAF. :D

[Natalie]

hes like a new saha so he will fit in perfectly :)

[Keano!]

I really think Fergie will take a closer look at him, but didn't Benzema actually say
he wanted in play in Spain?

Is this boy good in the air? If we were to swing some crosses in could we rely on him to get his head to it?

Havn't seen a lot of him other than Wednesday Night.
