Its a shame that all of those goals were before Xmas. Had they been after Xmas, we'd be talking about how good he was.

He isnt a problem. Dont forget he hardly played after Xmas either cos RVP went nuts with goals and actually stayed fit.

We also fell away without Chamakh in the team....

As i said before, RVP is a Fantasy Football dream but a team player, Chamakh gets the nod.

Im happy with him and he'll be even better next season

:gp:

People arent seriously having a go at Chamakh are they?

Theres plenty of reasons to have a go at Arsenal atm. Making one up in Chamakh isnt needed

Oh well, maybe Chamakh won't get a game next year if the new guy doesn't get injured. Plus our terrible crossing won't be such an issues as he'll be able to head the ball no matter where he is on the pitch, his forehead is that fucking huge.

He also brought the best out of Nasri lest we forget.

Dont get me wrong, id have loved it if Chamakh continued on his pre Xmas form after it but at the start of the season, i said id take 10-15 goals from him so cant complain tbh.

Still should buy a world class striker though

Well I seriously am. He is awful.

Just out of curiousity cos i wasnt around at the time but what did people think of him pre Xmas?

Good signing, just hope there's a lot more to come.......

And Ach is right, Chamakh did very well for the first half of the season - no reason to write him off yet and remember he's a squad player, not a starter.

Shit. I thought he was shit a year before he arrived and the lad was kind enough to prove me right. You could stick a mop up front and it'd score as much. I suppose his diving won a few goals we wouldn't have bagged otherwise, I'm okay with that seeing as everyone else does it, but in an ideal world we wanted something more than a freebie ballerina who can't keep his feet and is too shit scared to get in the battle. That said, there were a few tiny glimpses of him finally finding his balls in the last few games of the season, he was still shit but at least he wasn't hiding.

I knew you liked him really :hug:

Dont think Chamakh is something we'll agree on. In fact id say its the only thing we dont so lets forget him and keep to the Wenger bashing :scarf:

If I had to sum up Chamakh in one word, the word would be 'ridiculous'.

What a fanny. Never seen a striker so scared of shooting.
