Yes, definitely sell for anything over 7m. Yet another classic mediocre at best Wenger signing!

How many times has a player been shit for his first season and then had a blinder? Look at Drogba, it took him a year. Look at Pires, Henry etc.

People are so quick to write players off. I remember all the 'Pires is shit' brigade that first season

He arrived on a free transfer.

Since New Year he has lost a lot of form.

Stories in the press said he was suffering from fatigue and struggling to adapt to the English game.

Rumours persist he was/is being blackmailed for his part in hotel room antics in Las Vegas.

If a bid came in for him would you sell him?

Who would replace him?
He comes across to me as too lazy to even throw his head at the occasional cross.If he is being blackmailed for some misdemeanour in a Las Vegas hotel room,(by the way,my money would be on some sort of gay liason),it is his own stupid fault,and he shouldn't use it as an excuse for not putting a shift in in an Arsenal shirt!!!
Just for the record,I am not "anti-gay",but my Gaydar makes me think that that is what happened,if anything happened of course!!!

As the old adage goes, "takes one to know one".... So maybe RG is trying to tell us something ;) :lol:


Getting rid of Chamakh is just a ridiculous notion. A year ago people were slagging off Wenger for not buying him in January 2010 because he "would have changed the outcome of [that] season". If you think about it, he had about as good a season as Nasri last year.

Wengers going to look an even bigger *word censored* than he does now if he sells Chamakh considering how long he was trying to sign him. He deserves another season at least

If we were to replace him with a striker like forlan who has real pace and is an excellent finisher then by all means sell him but otherwise give the poor guy another season to show what he can do

Not sure why Chamack gets so much stick. He did well before Van persie got fit and took his place.

I think he makes a good target man as the center of a three.
