We're not changing our formation for Chamakh. It's Chamakh that needs to change. The fanny shits himself in front of goal which typifies the poncy garbage that we are trying to cull. I'm happy with the yoof in the squad right now...there's a change in the type of youngsters we're signing. None of this Vela, Merida 'need some time to toughen up' rubbish - they need to be able to compete physically straight away. And it seems we've got promising players coming through in many positions. Jenko, Dench, Coq, Chez, Ryo, Chambers...won't even include Wilshere as 'yoof' because he's one of the best players in the league - but no 'Dench' equivalent to the striking position. Joel Campbell? In either case, need a player who doesn't mind sitting on the bench and can put the ball in the net when called upon. It won't be anybody established like Podolski.
Wenger's strengths in the transfer market seem to have reversed...not long ago we were saying he could spot good attacking players but has a blindspot for good defenders. A defence containing Santos, Koscielny, Vermaelen looks as strong as it has for many years. Now he can't find a decent striker. Another Eduardo will do as long as he promises not to dive against the Scots.
Chamakh wasn't horrendous yesterday though. Wasn't too good either.
No we shouldn't change our formation for just one player no matter who it is. We should change it cos this one we have right now has failed and badly. We are languishing in 6th/7th wherever for a reason.
Even with Nick in the team last night we would have won it. But we had Chamakh so we lost. That's the bottom line. Why so many people think it's okay to have a striker with zero pace, zero ability in front of goal and zero clue how the game is played in this country after a year trying to learn is a bit of a mystery. Denilson was slaughtered for being 20 times the player this Chamakh guy is. But Chamakh gets a pass because he runs around 2 yards behind the play. I could do that but who would want me up front in a professional football team. Worst player we've ever had and when he leaves, which surely he has to soon, we'll be stronger even if we don't replace him because at least he won't be on the pitch.
