The Times begin their transfer rumour round-up wityh an interesting story this morning.
They say that Fulham were in talks with Bordeaux last night about signing their want-away centre forward Marouane Chamakh. The Moroccan international would seem to fit Roy Hodgson’s profile for a new striker, strong in the air due to his height, and a regular goalscorer. Chamakh scored 13 Ligue 1 goals last season and claims that he would be available for around £7m.
The complication is that Hodgson may well be beaten to the line by Arsenal. Chamakh himself seems to prefer thepossibility of a move to north London and says that he has already been in touch with the Gunners. It is his view that Arsene Wenger sees him as a ready-made replacement for Emmanuel Adebayor, who is still tipped to leave the Emirates this summer. Fulham’s failure to reach agreement with Chamakh may well let Wenger in.
I think we need somebody with the right attitude,Adebayor should just go to where he wishes,and wenger replaces him with this guy but i would have preffered Huntelaar a well known finisher.with midfield service of Cesc,Rosicky,Arshavin and Nasri.the guy will bang 40 goals a season!cheers gooners.
From what little I have seen of him, he plays like Peter Crouch, good feet for a big man and all that. Would suit the way we play now.
