afc Marouane Chamakh completes move to Arsenal

[anelka]

Credit to the grease monkey 2day..Thought he put in a shift, he held it up and made sum clever runs, rarely gave it away n led from the front v. wellTook his goal well at a crucial time for usFelt he cudda done better with the header in the 1st half but he made 1 and scored 1, u cnt argue with thatWell done son, this was a genuine v.good performance against two rugged n tough CB's

[Francis Coquelin]

his best performance in an arsenal shirt

[MrJibbles]

Going to C/S Anelka on this one

[TF S4DK]

My concern is about van Persie's fitness and Wenger's confidence in Bendtner tbh.Last 10 minutes Chamakh looked tired and risking a red card, yet Wenger didnt seem to want to use either.Don't want to see Chamakh again until next week. Them man need to step up midweek in the Carling Cup.

I think we will see rvp, wally and nik on tuesday.. dunno if they will all start though

[Fearless-Guy]

yeah good performance today, i was even glad when he took that shot on with his left foot outside the box which went widecant stand it when he hesitates, looks around or gives up the chase in case he doesnt get there, feels unnatural like hes scared of being embarassed, i think once he doesnt give a f*ck he'll be a better player taking more risks etc

[Captain Planet]

Ohhhh I'm going to the CC Tuesdayhopefully I see them man

[Seth Rollins]

Just got back.Big performance today. He closes down too, which I like.

[MEIRELES.]

This guy has been a f*ck*ng coup and a half.

[Taurus]

Still dont get the hate for himTop signing

[Afroman]

[Michel Kane]

[thinkingthuglife]

Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh has revealed he is struggling to cope with the rough and tumble of the Barclays Premier League.Chamakh moved to the Gunners from Bordeaux on a free transfer in the summer but says playing in France is nothing compared to England.He scored his 10th goal of the season in the 4-2 win over Aston Villa on Saturday but is suffering with neck and shoulder injuries and is set to be rested for tomorrow’s Carling Cup home clash with Wigan.The Moroccan said: 'I was never been in such a state at Bordeaux. Things take on a new dimension here. Against West Ham I was in incredible pain with my neck.'It was impossible to turn my head. Every ball that’s contested here I get ploughed into - and the referee doesn’t blow for it.'When people pushed me in France, I fell down and got a free kick. When there’s a hard tackle here, I have to get up and play.'After a Premier League match, I walk off with my body aching, with scratch marks, stiff muscles. Three days later, we go again.'

lol premiership>>>He does need a little rest though.. but he keeps scoring so he kinda making it worse for himself lol

[Lawrence.]

'When people pushed me in France, I fell down and got a free kick. When there’s a hard tackle here, I have to get up and play.

At least he's honest.

[anelka]

Felt he shudda finished that header from Sagna's brilliant cross on the run..He needs a break, before we take on UTD..Didnt really do much 2day, I felt Hangerlaand & Hughes bossed him, didnt put himself about enough when the going got tough

[Seth Rollins]

Because we HAVE to win, is Wenger going to risk RVP and/or Chamakh on Wednesday ahead of the United game following Monday?We HAVE to qualify. And to make sure, they HAVE to play. I'm not sure about Bendtner's form considering the importance of the next game.

[anelka]

Belgrade are a 2-bob pub outfit..We will win that with our eyes closed at home, these poor european sides cant do sh*t to us at home, they are not as good as the likes of Fulham, WBA & Newcastle..RVP is about getting him minutes, getting him ready for the xmas period, 60mins for him and starts for Wally, Denilson, Eboue & Bentdner plzWenger shud rest the key players during the week

[TF S4DK]

As obvious a win would seem against the groups whipping boys, Wenger knows he has to play his full strength team, just incase. Besides Man Utd game is on a Monday thats a 5 day rest.

[Seth Rollins]

^^^ Exactly. Like say we haven't been getting beaten by two bob teams at home this season (and away in Europe).

[anelka]

We havent been beaten by a 2-bob European side at home in the group stages in time..Away its a diff story but at home these teams are a walkoverThe players need all the rest they can get with the busy xmas period coming up

[TF S4DK]

I hear you anelka, BUT Wenger been hearing it for years for not playing a serious team in the Carling Cup, so imagine if he played second string on Wednesday, we somehow lose and go out... I expect at least 7-8 of those who started yesterday to start on Wednesday night.

[Michel Kane]

Yeah, waiting for him to put in a top performance against a top team.He's been decent, nothing more.
