he's not at rooney and ronaldo's CURRENT level, of course not. but he is easily better than ronaldo at age 19/20, and on level with wazza at 19/20.
well as you know with the french, well with domenech, no one knows what he'll do. He's frozen out his most inform striker of over a year (trezeguet).
On form, benzema and trezeguet should play. However domenech likes playing with henry and anelka up top. I think we'll see a lot of henry-benzema though.
we'll see. what is certain is that there are plenty who rate benzema as the next great number 9, and his price will be stupidly high because of pure competition from all the big clubs on the continent and in england. add to the fact he's from lyon, and he's a local boy who isn't in any rush to leave lyon.
