    Didn't see the goal, but he did something similar when we first played Newcastle and allowed Carroll to get on to the end of that header. He can't deal with the physical contact. Soft like toilet paper. He's not a pussy, he's a tampon. We've got no use for this guy. He's not built for the Premier League.

    If only we had just loaned Eduardo out last season, he'd be a great back up striker

    Champax has been nothing short of shocking in preseason.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    Not to turn this into a debate but Ade is very fast and very skillful with due respect. He was initially accused of missing sitters NOT afraid to shoot.

    If we rate Arsenal players only on first seasons then i guess Pires was shit tbh. As was Freddie.

    Chamakh is fine and the least of our problems. Its a shame all his goals came before Xmas and not spread out over the season but if youre hardly playing, you dont score as was the case after Xmas.

    Of course let all Chamakh haters ignore the fact how our season went to shit when he was no longer starting for us. As good as RVP was, hes not a team player.

    I wouldnt mind that usually in a 4-4-2 but playing one up front, we need our lone striker to do more than score. Chamakh did and he brought the best out of Nasri.

    Not worried about him at all. Not read one justifiable critisism on here yet. Its a shame a poster like NQ who is spot on with most of what he says is so woefully wrong about Chamakh but then as ive said on another thread, not everybody is right all the time and im sure NQ and other haters as well as the people who backed Chamakh were lining up to suck his long Moroccan cock back when he was scoring, winning penalties etc.

    Same shit was said about Ade. We all saw whats happened with him. Has gone on to play for Real

    But when you compare him to guys like Drogba and what he offers to his team without the goals, he's nowhere near as effective. It's the same case for Heskey, Carroll or even that thug Davies. These type of players have a weight and height advantage over most players and they fully exploit it. In essence, they work hard and bully their opponents. Chamakh doesn't do that. He can't handle the physicality of the Prem league. He gets bounced around and can't impose himself because he's soft. You won't see that happening with Heskey, that's why it's the wrong comparison.

    Chamakh may work hard for the team but that's as far as the Heskey comparison goes.
    Fair enough, from what you were saying it sounded like you expected him to be some kind of battering ram, my bad.

    He was able to impose himself for the first 4/5/ months, he was able to deal with the physicality and do a good job for that time (I know you don't agree with that but I'd call what he did for us, a decent job), he can do it but for some reason he's not doing it atm; I assumed once he'd have a pre-season behind him he'd sort himself out and regain some form, not happening yet so I'll leave it at that.

    Isn't it the accepted wisdom of football pundits everywhere that Heskey could be a battering ram thanks to his physique but lacks the aggression? That's what they always say about him. Not sure he could be lumped in with Drogba etc.

    As for Champignon, to me he always had the look of a player who coaches didn't quite know where to play in his youth. Transpires he started out as a goalie.

    TBH I can see both sides of the argument. Not ready to ignore the first 5 months of his tenure any more than I can ignore the last 5 months. He has been truly pitiful in pre-season.
