I know the question was to start a debate as to choose one but the way the club is flush with cash and in need of both why not both, benzema in january and then reus in the summer.


I don't think reus would want to leave dortmund in the middle of the season or at all to be honest, he's playing great and really enjoying his time plus he is from dortmund and all his family and friends are based there, why leave? I think draxler would be the far easier option, not as good as reus at the moment but 4 years younger and has said recently he owes a lot to his club but he is not rooted there so would probably leave plus he loves ozil.

Benzema on the other hand is being booed and looks a bit unsettled this year and is losing the faith of the manager as far as I can see but I'm not an expert, looks as though madrid are actively trying to sell him and wenger is a massive fan, I can remember a few years ago begging for wenger to sign him. He is a major confidence player just like giroud and wenger is the master of beleif and would probably have the best chance of helping him rediscover the form that made him one of the hottest properties a few years ago.

Sorry for the essay lads but just wanted to put across my complete view, and if you've gotten this far thanks for reading and I welcome all replies good or bad, after all this is what the site is for.

Reus, all day everyday for me, Benzema is good but not that good

Agree0 Disagree0

Very tough question. I think Reus would be better for us but I love Benzema too

Agree0 Disagree0

Trev, I completely agree with that. Great post mate.

I have a feeling Borussia Dortmund may make a move for Benzema (or possibly even chelsea. I really don't see wenger thinking. hmm I think benzema can take us to the next level.

in all honesty I never rated benzema. higuain over him anyday of the week.

giroud is outplaying him for the national team, and to me, benzema has the potential and talent. just no motivation.

i would really like aguero to move to city. (a player I like, a club I do not greatly like)

and they can buy suarez. and my world will be fine. hahah.

for me the player we need is Reus.

poldi, walcott can play backup to giroud if needed. but reus on the left wing and theo on the right. with ozil, caz, wilshere, ramsey, flamini arteta. god I need to stop drooling all over this keyboard. {Ed044's Note - Ed02 says the two most likely options for Benzema right now are Arsenal and Galatasaray.}

Good afternoon my fellow Gooners.

I noticed a lot of transfer talk linking us with Marco Reus and Julian Draxler. don't get me wrong, they are both fantastic players, but do we really need to shell out £30m+ on another creative midfielder? Unless we are going to lose Podolski and Cazorla neither are necassary.

This team we have is very strong. They look very cohesive, with a new found fight about them. Defence looks organised and Shezza finding some consistency. Where we really need reinforcements is CB and ST. The £30m odd we would spend on say Reus would be much better spent on Zouma (£8m) and Benzema (£22m). i'm sure a Benzema firing on all cylinders would destroy PL defences. Zouma will be the next Lillian Thuram. Really surprised Monaco or PSG havnt snapped him up yet. He is so good at such a young age.

Both are great, although I see Reus as more of a forward-similar to podolski.

Reus is world class and if it means losing dropping Podolski I can live with that.

Podolski can be used as cover for giroud and cazorla can play across the middle and also can be used to cover and rotate with ozil.

Agree0 Disagree0

Agreed DG. Benzema and Zouma are better buys for us in January at least. During his commentary on France's game against Australia, Wenger even hinted that Giroud and Benzema "can play together".

Ed, what are the possibilities of Benzema leaving this January?

For the summer, I hope we try for Draxler. He's a fan of Arsenal and admires playing with Ozil {Ed044's Note - I am told it is very likely that Benzema will leave in January.}

Just an after thought,
Honda on a free for the left wing?
