What makes you think I've bought into the hype? I WATCH football. In an ideal world, Aguero and Suarez would be playing for us but it's not going to happen. What other options do you fantasise about that are actually realistic? I would be happy with Lewandowski but highly doubt Bayern would sell.
You have to be a pedantic bellend to nitpick this. Phil Neville is not a striker is he? We are comparing trophies they've helped their clubs win from the striker position. Benzema helped Lyon and Madrid win multiple League titles and the CL. This usually shows a certain pedigree and a winners mentality. Giroud has helped us win a couple of FA Cups...
Genuinely amazed the level of stupidity you have to possess to even think these 2 are on the same level.
You watch football? Wow. Well done. You might be surprised to find that most people on a football forum also watch football. I know - mental, huh?! 
Now, my thinking is only a pedantic bellend would simply justify their argument by comparing what two players won with two different clubs, particularly if that same bellend has a history of being on here ranting and raving about how everything wrong at one of those clubs is Wenger's fault.
So the fact that Giroud plays for Wenger has nothing to do with what he has won? Would you now accept that? No? Don't agree? And the fact that Benzema has not played under Wenger but under Ancelloti and Moron-hio (managers I'd bet you consider better than Wenger right?) has nothing to do with what he in turn has won? Has the fact that Benzema played with far superior players than Giroud no bearing? Which is it then? Is it Wenger's fault? Or Giroud's fault? Would Benzema not suffer similarly under Wenger, the manager you blame for basically all our ills? Because tbh that would be one of my concerns if we signed Benzema.
So I'll just write it again for the slow amongst us; Benzema would appear to be an upgrade on Giroud, is certainly a faster better technical player, but hasn't shown that he could handle the PL. They have similar strike rates over the last 5 seasons, but Benzema achieved his goals whilst playing under better managers with better team mates. So whilst I'd certainly take a punt on him, I'd be reluctant to spend a mental amount to do so as he might well be the next DiMaria. We have no guarantee - although your posts imply we do.
Is. That. Clear.
At this point I'm genuinely amazed that someone can be as much of a dullard as you appear to be. Hope that doesn't upset you - would hate for you to feel the need to post another hilarious veiled threat (hidden as an offer to meet up to exchange opinions) like you did with kiwomya!
