i'd happily have him behind carroll doing his trquartistawhatever
 
I'd love Benzema here; but there's no chance of that because even if he were here he'd be spending his time in midfield trying to win the ball.

He's struggled as a #9 for Real and they're incredibly reluctant to play him as one. I don't think that's his position.

I was reading a blog post discussing his predicament that suggested he is far better in a more withdawn role where he has a bit more time on the ball. So prerhaps he'd be better played out wide or in the classic withdrawn striker / trequartista role.

He played as a no9 for France against Brazil last week and looked on great form. Having said that, he did go wide and deep quite often - but so did Rooney when he was playing as a lone striker for United. I think they're quite similar players in some ways.
