Marouane Chamakh was signed two years ago on a free transfer from Bordeaux, he started 10 matches for Arsenal that very season and scored 6 goals. Later Van Persie returned from injury and he was left on the bench along side Nicklas Bendtner. When Van Persie left this summer, everyone taught that this lad would be given a chance to start but was overlooked by Arsene Wenger who preferred the new signing Olivier Giroud instead.
He scored 12 goals in total for about 40 appearances for Arsenal.
With players like Santi Cazola, Lukas Podolski, Mikel Arteta, Abou Diaby, Gervinho in the side Chamakh will feel better and perform consistently. Giroud started in almost every match this season and was not successful in front of goal. The kind of football Arsenal is playing right now suits Chamakh well and he being a tall and physical striker will make it difficult for the defenders and will have his impact on the match.
Arsene Wenger should look at Chamakh for
the possible replacement for Giroud and at least try him out in some of the
League Cup matches. He already has Arshavin, who lost his touch and class but
yet believes him, then why not Chamakh who doesn’t even have a handful of
chances at Arsenal.
