Well we have a simple choice, stick with this guy - who for me is the a player so unsuited to this league it's painful to watch, or go and get that striker we've needed for a long time. Somebody who will just stick the damn ball in the net, even if it's an ugly scrambled effort. If he's been playing badly because of personal reasons then it's safe to say he's unprofessional. Arsenal have been paying him, are we a football club or a care centre? Probably don't answer that given the last 6 years.
I like the boy. He lacks a lot of confidence, but who doesn't in this team? Best thing for him would be second row for Barbarians on Sunday. He'll know what a scrap's about afterwards and might know the meaning of contact sport in these Isles. That might persuade him to stick his head in where it hurts and be a bit more direct in future. Well you can hope...
Get rid of Bendy and bring a reliable finisher in
Chamakh can be back-up
http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2896/...riker-marouaneAfter a topsy-turvy debut season for Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh, the Moroccan insists he can improve his fortunes in the new campaign.
The attacker began last season in stunning form, netting 10 goals in his first 17 starts for the north London outfit following his move from French side Marseille and looked a fine stand-in for the injured Robin van Persie.
However, after the Dutchman returned to action, the 27-year-old Moroccan failed to maintain his scoring momentum and featured less and less in Arsene Wenger’s plans as the season progressed.
As the new season draws nearer, though, Chamakh insists he will not be repeating such a turn in form and that he will not suffer second season syndrome.
"I think this season will in fact be easier," he told the club’s official website.
"I understand both the football and the group better, and I now have many friends in this team. So I aim to keep improving and to make a big contribution.
"Your first pre-season is always difficult, you have to accustom yourself to new training and make new friends, but we’re all together and everything looks fine."
The Arsenal players return to the Emirates this weekend following their pre-season tours to Malaysia, China and Germany, with the trip to Asia having been a stand-out moment for the striker.
"I think it was a good, new experience for the entire squad," he said.
"It was surprising to see the number of fans Arsenal have over there and I think it proved to us what a big club this is – people across the world demand that you do well.
"For us it was good to spend time in a different culture, while the supporters could watch us in matches and training, and see a lot of the club.
"Germany was a bit different. There were fewer supporters around and the training was harder both for us and the staff.
"But we played a good match against Cologne and had some great facilities there, so we’re happy with how it has all gone."
Didnt want to start a new thread. Agree with most of that. Chamakh is the least of our problems. He'll come good
Chamakh haters
I don't get why you like this guy when he's scared of goal, he went half a season where he barely had a shot on goal and complained about being tired on top of that.
Not the attitude of a player who's hungry to play and desperate to show his worth.
You also say you want us to get a striker (which I agree with) and yet if he was able to get the goals we wouldn't need one.
Ignoring the being scared to shoot claptrap and going to the other points. Sure he was tired having never played in England before. Its called adjusting which he feels he has now hence he thinks it will be easier. We do need a striker to play alongside Chamakh when RVP is out for his annual 3 month injury. Yes Chamakh fell away 2nd half of the season but who bar RVP didn't? Don't forget he hardly played regularly either. Doesn't he have the CL record of most consecutive games scored in? He has the talent and I sure as hell don't give up on players after just a season.Come on Zimm, I'd have thought you'd have learned from the Adebayor shockers you had and would be willing to give this guy a chance.Originally Posted by ItsMe
We haven't seen a cripps v zimm debate for fucking ages. Old school. Get it on lads.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
