    Don’t remind me of the terror that is Marouane Chamakh. Please don’t make me think of him again.

        Honestly, I really have to question the scouting that brought Marouane Chamakh to a club the level of Arsenal, even if it was a different era and even if he was on a free.

        That is just a footballer I never, never could see anywhere near the level for Arsenal. Nor was there any kind of moneyball slant that would suggest it, really. Looking back that was when I really should’ve started to begin doubting Wenger’s decision making at the very least on the personnel front.

        I mean, we can criticise transfers like Nicolas Pepe all we want–and I do, and did from very early on–but at least you can see a world where Pepe makes it at Arsenal, or you can understand a few scouts would rate him. Still think it’s poor scouting but I simply cannot see how a scout could watch Chamakh thoroughly and recommend his signing, even on a free.

      He got off to a flying start with RVP out injured, he looked absolute quality, then RVP came back and Chamakh turned into a donkey overnight

        I thought Chamakh looked like shit from his very first match for us. He was missing sitters in front of goal. I was never confident in his ability after that.

          He wasn’t HaalandTron 3000 but he was producing for us in the league and the CL (think he scored in his first 3 CL games for us) up until like November/December and then fell off a cliff. I don’t even think he scored in the league for the rest of the season after Van Persie came back

              I remember him starting plenty of games though and me taring our my hair every time. Mitigating circumstance is he did have that blackmail thing
