You forgot winning away at Old Trafford and the two FA Cups in that one. Oh and billionaires running amok.

Chamakh on the other hand, I'll admit there was optimism and hope that he would be decent as he had some pedigree as the top scorer in Ligue 1 for the champions at the time (Bordeaux). We had also beaten Liverpool for the transfer as well. Took six months to most to realise that he a bit shit. Still, a long way from people creaming themselves.
I don't think Chamakh was ever the top goal scorer in France.
Yeah sorry you're right. It was Giroud who was top scorer in France when we signed him.
Still, Chamakh was doing really well for Bordeaux at the time when we signed him, including iirc scoring against the likes of Juve and Bayern in the CL. Sadly, it didn't end up amounting for much.
Chamakh had been on a really good scoring run in the CL for Bordeaux. There was good reason for people to be optimistic.
I mean, it's not like he was proper shite like Sessegnon.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
I can recall people saying he's won titles at Man U, you don't do that unless you're a quality player etc etc, as for Chamakh, yes he scored a few goals, if you saw them they were rolling the ball in from 5 yards in most cases nothing that required too much skill, he was hopeflessly inadequate that much was clear, but people were very optimistic about him.

This guy I have no particular opinion about, never seen him play, he may turn out to be very good, I hope he does, the whole issue is about the way we go about our business and how our primary concern is money.

Should be completed by the start of next week...
Don't really understand why it's complicated to be honest, work permits are standard procedure, if he qualifies then it's nothing new.
I think the answer is in your own statement tbh.
