Hi! everyone
You fan of arsenal you have a very selective memory! do you remember the critics when Henry were announced coming to arsenal? and same for Wiltord? what about Pires! Viera? the french connection! all the arsenal fans were very discouraging and no one believe that the french connection will offer some of the best souvenirs in the history of the club!!!!! my point is : the french players when they leave the french league! they become like a good old french wine! the football in france is not sexy not easy to strike! it s old school football! Chamakh’s talent will explode, he deserve a club that he really loves!!!!!! and I m’ sure Emirates will love him back!!! sorry for my poor english!

we support our club and any efforts to strengthen our squad are always welcome. Its time wenger stops taking fans for a ride whats the need to add one and sell 2 I am a strong supporter of building a young squad but do everything to retain your players and u will get results but balance btw success on the pitch and success in the pockets of the shareholders.

Must say massive negative vibe on the blog today. I don’t think Chamak is a bad option especially since he is free. But I think we need to evaluate our weaknesses because they lie deeper than 1 player

As a diehard fan of Arsenal,I’m not happy to watch Almunia,Clichy,Nasari,Walcott as first line up players.They are destroying the hope for other gunners.

Wenger was waiting for chamakh to be a free transfer, i am sure he has planted his men to keep things on track. Wenger generally gets his man, n i am sure he will. I was shocked to see this news some weeks back that LIV has snapped the deal…….it ended as a rumour!!

He is coming to our club for sure……….but it again shows how miser wenger is, he could have n should have snapped the deal by paying some million in Jan.

So he gets his player, n for no or very little money, but he sacrifices a season!!

So you guys have to decide whether he is right or wrong…….m sure there would be a debate on that!!

Not a big Chamakh fan. Athletic but not overly talented and doesnt score that many goals… My feeling was that it was a smokescreen set up by Wenger but who really knows… He doesnt usually talk this much about someone he is going to sign…

At least Marouane Chamakh is 6 ft 2.

His strike rate has improved recently too but against who?

2003–04 year 33 games 10 goals
2004–05 33 10
2005–06 29 7
2006–07 36 5
2007–08 38 7
2008–09 42 21
2009–10 25 8 so far

@ice you said give pat rice the job are you joking? is that the same pat rice that looks stuck to the bench with glue, never giving these over paid,underachieving,prima donnas a rollicking for continuing to make the same mistake over and over again. the gulf in class was apparent yet again and although possesion is 9/10 of the law that doesn,t apply on a football pitch.it seems defending is a secondary consideration if at all? keown should be brought in immediately to sort this shambolic lot out,wenger is putting his entire legacy in the hands of a group of players unable to compete at the highest level,he has stripped the team of all the attributes that made us successful in the past and replaced them with a bunch of mediocre lightweights all vision but no end product when it really matters.the longer this continues the more respect wenger will lose from the fans and to be honest someone at arsenal needs to grow some balls and ask wenger a question he,s never been asked before “WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU PLAYING AT”!!!! there are so many issues to address e.g majority of possession,double the corners they had,13 goal attempts, they had 3 shots on target scored twice with the other drogba freekick hitting the bar as fawlty manuel just stood there admiring it like he was in an art gallery. there was a time not too long ago when chelski hadn,t beaten us for years….how times change.

Sf oops Weber- Are you going to document the Liverpool game?
I’ve read that Chamakh has signed a precontract with Arsenal last night
