      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.
