Chamakh has done really well since going to Palace. He was highly thought of prior to joining Arsenal. It didn't work out for him there obviously but he's shown some determination and character in turning things around at a much smaller club. So at least his attitude and application should be commended. If he comes on a free then he certainly offers something different to our current forward options.

I know you like to put a positive slant on things, but really, Chamakh?

What do you class as doing really well at Palace? He has 5 goals in 26 appearances. Hardly turning things around, is it?

We don't even need a new striker, but if we do, I can't see any positive indication that the answer is a 30 year old with a consistently underwhelming record in this league.

I just realised I was replying to a post on the first rather than the last page of the thread. Oops.

Mind you, point stands, I'll have a pint of whatever you're drinking if you think Chamakh is worth considering.

Nailing people up is in the New Testament we haven't finished with Moses puns yet.   Here is an Old Testament riddle for you.   What is the connection between an unsettled Man Ure player and an Egyptian pharaoh?   I will give you a clue.   Think vegan.

Sorry for skipping so much history. Spending 57 years wandering in the wilderness has been a bit of a killer.

Could be some decent players on the market in the summer - lescott, rodwell, Milner , Richards - all being linked with leaving city.

I think we'd pay the transfer fee but certainly not the wages. We have to increase our wage budget if we want to compete in the PL else we'll continue to be strugglers in this league.

But will they be allowed to leave with the number of "home grown" players being enforced next year?  These are the only "home grown" ones they have so need to include them in the matchday squad even if they never get on the field.

Milner and Richards have only  one year left on their deals and lescotts contract is up - as for rodwell he doesn't seem to figure much.

Tottenham have been linked with Milner. Again, we won't go for him because of his wages.

Caught offside are second only to sportsdirect.com when it comes to bullshit rumours, I think we can safely ignore that one.
