I was thinking about the lack of strikers today. Is there a striker like Aguero, Suearez or Lewandowski available? Even Benzema isn't as good as them in my opinion.

Why so negative about Arsenal?? We were expected not to finish in top 4 if first half last year and then we almost got the second one. #positive-vibes mate

Well again you seem to have a hard time understanding what is being said. I guess I'm just going to keep repeating it until it finally sticks: if you have enough cash you can buy any player on the planet.

And my argument was Chelsea United to which you said they didn't want those world class strikers and settled with average shite. To which I disagree.

Eh no, I said they obviously couldn't afford the players they wanted.

Again, why are you convinced Chelsea wanted Benzema? They obviously didn't.

Because the £80m+ it would've cost for Benzema really isn't worth the upgrade from a borderline world class striker who some would argue is better than Benzema
Because United can't afford the £80m+ it would've cost to convince Madrid to sell him, hence why they spent £36m on Martial

Because they wouldn't spend £60m on a striker to sit him on the bench.
Because Van Gaal is a lunatic who spends £60m on unproven 19-year olds.

Danny Welbeck rumoured to be out for 6 months according to Woy.
Giroud an uncontested striker for another 6 months at least then, with no back-up good enough to contest him. But you know, Arsene knows.

Martial will potentially cost 55 million pounds. Suggesting United "can't afford" an 80 million signing is stupid at best.

Potentially is the key word. They paid a £36m initial fee, with clauses equalling £7m each which are:
All according to RMC who were the first to break the Martial news. This is very manageable with the latter two might not even be close to happening until next season.

Right so 43 million quid for that nobody and can't afford 80 for Benzema. Logic is on point.

Considering they'd probably have to pay that and put Benzy on ~250k p/w in order to convince him to come, yeah I'd say so

First of all know this that United can afford Benzema and secondly why were you asking us to sign him in that case?

And there's another brilliant reason.
United who spend money like it's nothing, have Rooney who can't score to save his hairline and Benzema wasn't "worth it" for them. Ok.

Who says they couldn't afford him? I'm saying they obviously didn't want him. Why do you assume every club on the planet wanted Benzema? Arsenal is so far the only club linked to him for the entire summer.
