It's no good Chamakh being a 'target' man because Arsenal don't play that kind of game.
He has little speed, is scared to shoot, even close to goal, his control is average, he's pretty decent in the air, again, not suited to either the way we play nor the fact that hardly anyone can cross a ball in the Arsenal squad!
He's just not the right player for us, a reserve at best and we have lots of 'reserve' quality players and not enough guaranteed 1st teamers!!
Would you sell Chamakh?

Wenger raved about this guy and so refused to get a loan striker in when we had no strikers and played Arshavin up front so he could get him on a free,thank god we didn't pay anything for him.
To be honest don't rate him at all and i think the game against the spuds when he was clear TWICE and all he had to do was swing he leg and score he looked for the pass instead.....
summed it up.As for his heading ability i think Bendtner is better,yes i flog him asap and get someone else in.

i'd give him till january,i think for all his hard work at the beginning of last term he deserves it.there's no doubt he went awol halfway through last season and looked useless in most of his games but he wont be the last import to get caught out by the ferocity and pace of the prem.
given a hard preseason and missing injuries he might just turn out to be a good sub.
