ChamspakWhy is anyone being compared to that oxygen thief!
Thank fuck he was free that's all I can say.
Giroud's decent enough, his problem is he isn't Van Persie. It'll be a long time until we have a striker as good as him.
Tbf to Chamakh, he was decent the first half of his first season the. RVC got fit and stayed fit for the first time ever and he's hardly had a run of games since. Plus he showed good movement, much better than what Giroud has shown so far but think the Frenchman will be a better player
Yeah I agree. What I didn't like about him though was he was an absolute pussy on the pitch. Someone said in an earlier post that he was a coward and I have to agree. He was supposedly great in the air but never put his head in where it might get hurt. After he lost his form he just turned into a static blob who was pointless to bring on in games.
A real disappointment as, like you say, he started off well enough.
Chamakh had a decent first half a season, but has barely kicked a ball since.
That in itself is the most damning thing because he played a shit load of games.
Waste of skin and bones.
One of those players who needs a run of games to be at his best but in this day and age, unless you're a little bit awesome which he isn't, you are not afforded with that luxury. He should have done better in his cameos but he didn't. He ain't a bad player though. Good luck to him at West Ham
I think the fact he's at loan at somewhere like West Ham tells you something.
Personally I hope he does really well there. Getting him off the books will be a real struggle otherwise.
