Interesting news on BBC has us apart from the the hashed stories about Albiol, Kaka and Vertonghen (who we should go for is a 1 mil move for Owen
This guy if he can stay fit has a few goals in him and for 1 mil if Utd are willing to sell and I can see SAF feeling sorry for us enough to think about it, is worth a punt, any thoughts?
Nah. The hell with this bargain basement crap.
Spend the money required to get a reliable and effective striker and play a system that maximises his chances.
That's far too sensible :sulk:Quote:

Man City Target Van Persie To Replace Tevez
Daily Star Exclusive
*City prepare January bid for Dutchman
*Striker set to treble his wages
*Another blow for Wenger
*Exclusive
Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has emerged as Roberto Mancini's primary transfer target and Manchester City are now to test calamity club Arsenal's resolve by tabling a £30m bid in the January transfer window.
Van Persie has so far refused to commit to Arsenal and this has alerted City to the situation.
An Arsenal insider last night exclusively revealed details of the sensational swoop to Daily Star Sport.
The deadly Dutchman, who scored his 100th goal for the misfiring Gunners on Saturday, will now earn £270,000 at his new club.
With Carlos Tevez out of the picture, following his refusal to be used as a substitute in the 2-0 defeat at Bayern Munich, Mancini sees van Persie as the ideal replacement.
It is yet another devastating blow for Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, who will now also be fearful of losing star players Theo Walcott, Thomas Vermaelen and Marouane Chamakh next summer.
Our insider also revealed - exclusively - that van Persie may be open to staying if Arsenal mount a credible title challenge. But as this passage of his revelations did not include any quotes, we are loathe to believe their validity.
Finally, we can exclusively reveal that our insider goes by the name of Joker, and he definitely doesn't have a vendetta against van Persie.
:haha:Quote:

Chamakh has failed to gain the admiration of the Arsenal faithful, in fact the internet forums are full of disgruntled fans calling him a waste of money and he was brought in on a free transfer, that should give an idea of the standing Chamakh has at the club.

Yeah - then the same forum has this...Quote:

Initial look of the headline appears to suggests he is telling Hazard that the Arsenal is a bad move for a player of his calibre.Quote:
Zidane tells Hazard to snub Arsenal
Then you read...
So the headline should be something like "Zidane says he wants Hazard at Real". But I guess that is not such a fun headline.Quote:
The Mirror seems to think that former French World Cup champion Zinedine Zidane, who is now part of the management staff at Real Madrid, has asked the French club to snub any offers and prepare the player to transfer to Spain’s capital at Real.
I saw that and thought the same.Quote:

Wenger messed up the others but don't think he can be blamed for Chamakh, he is truly dogshite.
Pretty much. Chamakh was quality at Bordeaux playing with a partnerQuote:

He gets played out of position and we realistically cannot hope for him to be Messi.Quote:

All this call for a striker is absolute dogshite talk tbh.. we have good players up front but the man who makes the call to play them in their best position is a deluded cunt
Chamakh is usually played in his proper position when he starts and has been a complete waste of a player after his decent start. Having him in the team is akin to playing with 10 men, he adds nothing.Quote:

I can see the merits in Bendtner on the other hand, he'd be a 20+ goal a season striker if played in his proper position.
In which case you should probably stop saying it... Villa and Aquero play left and right very regularly and very effectively. Chamakh almost ALWAYS plays up front!!Quote:

Aguero doesnt play right of midfield.. he plays right in a 2 man attack. Villa interchanges positions and comes in from the left ala TH14 (not as effective) but mainly plays down the middle. And if you are talking barca.. he or anyone could be playing in any position from midfield to attack and they will score!Quote:

need to play chamakh in a 4-4-2. he'll set up the other striker a lot. his lay off play is exceptional, so's his first touch.
but as a lone striker fuck no. it's like having no striker.

Whoever's saying Chamakh is an AIDS infected used condom head, I agree. Whoever's not saying that, grow up will you?
Aguero has gone off the boil, I doubt he'll score again this week. Chamakh would be a good player if he could improve his passing, shooting, tackiling, crossing, heading, positional play, character, courage, determination, hairstyle and face.Quote:

Well that's one way to glorify safely passing the ball 5 yards because you have no guts to do anything else. :coffee:
He held the ball up really well last night tbh and kept possession.Quote:

Most importantly though, NQ :haha:
After his Chamakh and Theo shockers on here, surely time he changed his name to Laurent Koscielny on here
hes a striker who cant score. a striker who cant score means he isnt doing his job which means he is shit.Quote:

I've even seen it claimed he did well by making space for the first goal last night. Of course if you actually watch what happened he was just floundering around in the box looking lost as usual. The fact he was in the box at all is a good thing, he's usually hiding in midfield trying to avoid the play. Now he needs to work hard on learning to do something useful when he's in there. I'm assuming Chamakh is here to do at least slightly better than not play badly? Or have our standards really slipped that far?
Theo's last performance, as we all could see, was a shocker and far from his first. He's had several years to progress and realise his potential and he hasn't done it. Who could seriously dispute this unless they were on a wind up mission? Doesn't matter anyway, we have a great replacement for when Theo's not up for it.
I said he had a good game yesterday which he did. Thats hardly saying hes quality.Quote:
