Benzema is easily the best prospect out of all of them.

Huntelaar has only scored for Ajax and lets face it not everybody that scores in Holland will be a success, ie Niclas Machlas, Shota Arveladze, Mateja Kezman, Dirk Kuyt, Alfonso Alves. Granted there are exceptions, such as Van Nistelrooy, but the fact is that anybody can score in Holland. I suspect that Louis Saha would end up top goalscorer over there if he played a whole season (or half a season in his case).

Berbatov is a lot older than the other two. It's not that I don't rate Berbatov, it's just that he has only ever really had the one good season, this season. He wasn't the most prolific player in Germany and I remember watching him on the bench a lot at Leverkusen. I think he can be lazy and his attitude could be detrimental to the team. One player in the team (Ronaldo) who doesn't track back is enough. Look at the amount of work that Tevez and Rooney do off the ball. I would just prefer somebody with the same work mentality as those two. Berbatov is also not a man who will be happy sitting on the bench too often.

That leaves Karim Benzema. He is 20, will score goals, and has a great workrate. In my opinion he is suited to the PL. Look at the goal he scored against United in the cl. Fantastic. To be honest, I think he is far better than the other two.

Benzema for me, in a heartbeat.
