Liechtenstein don't have a national league, all their clubs play in the Swiss league.

Yeah. I'd be happy to see most of the EPL managers not interviewed at all actually. Perhaps they could reverse the current ruling to put that one in place.

Would be hilarious if someone called him out for the arsehole he is.

The standard of interviewing in sport in general is pretty terrible to be honest. You can pretty much guarantee that the interviewer will ask something extremely stupid, such as "you must be pleased to have won/scored a goal?"
The typical response will then be: "yeah of course, blah blah it's nice, but the most important thing is the result/team performance blah blah".
And then you get people like Mourinho who think they are extremely clever, but don't realise they have basically become a parody of themselves.

Anyway, Arsenal apparently launching a £40m bid for Benzema today. Seems totally stupid to me, since target number one was obviously Higuain, but they wouldn't go as high as £30m for him.
I've never been a fan of Benzema, but he's better than what Arsenal have already, and beggars (even once who boast about having £70m in reserve) can't be choosers, and new players are desperately needed.

Di Maria as well, which would be excellent.
Benzema is (youngsters aside) Real's only striker though so would Arsenal be part funding a Madrid move for Suarez? They really need Suarez so much more than Bale anway, unless Ronaldo starts playing as a central striker.

I'd be surprised if Real let him go...but dude, he is a great forward IMO. Him alone can push you guys as contenders for title IMO.

In a team where its almost a rule that Ronaldo has to score a goal, he has 88 goals and 49 assists in 184 matches (Wiki). And Real aren't tailored to his strengths IMO. In a team like Arsenal he would be the focus of the attack. He was also a beast in Lyon IMO.
Not sure you can compare the Arsenal RVP left with the one now. IMO they're much better (Cazorla being a big reason why). If RVP is better, I'm not sure it's that much of a difference TBF.
More to ponder is how he'd adapt to the premier league IMO. Should also clarify, by contender I mean it'd be less of a discussion of about top 4 and more of in the top 3; even if they're not the strongest of contenders. Having said that...Spurs look to add 2 quality players soon.

I would like the move to happen because would be interested to see how he goes. Never saw much of him at Lyon and he has never entierly convinced at Madrid, thought he was poor for France in the Euros as well. He is quite obviously a talented player but Van Persie a long way ahead after his last two seasons.

Anyone who doubts Benzema's quality should watch the first game they played against us in the group stages last season. Pushed Kompany around like he was a small child, dominated us and scored an incredibly skillful goal. He may not be the most consistent player but he is an insane talent.

I don't agree with this logic at all. Madrid are miles better than all but one of the other teams in their league and refuse to play anything other than extremely attacking football. However many goals you score as a striker there, you'll probably score less somewhere else.
He was incredible at Lyon but that was four years ago and his career since has been a real mix. His only really impressive season was two years ago and he was in and out of the team a lot last season. He's clearly insanely talented but he's had a lot of problems with loss of motivation and falling out with managers (what is it with French players?). All that said, I think he'd be a fantastic signing for Arsenal if they can get him. But I wouldn't put him on the same level as RVP or Suarez and I don't think he'd turn them into title challengers.

Yeah, someone posted a screenshot of the shop's website. Seems they are defo selling them.
Not the be all and end all mind you, I remember Barca printed a few shirts with Beckham on the back before he joined Real Madrid. But yeah, I think this one is pretty much done. Seeya Bale.
