Chamakh talks up Arsenal move before scoring for Bordeaux
Marouane Chamakh has again appealed to current club Bordeaux to make his move to Arsenal much easier as the Moroccan grows desperate over the unending transfer saga.
The French champions have demanded double of the reported £7.5 million offer Arsenal tabled for Chamakh. For a player who will be a free-agent within five months, that may exceed his value and the striker himself admits his club is overpricing him.
The Morocco international opened his account for the season yesterday in Bordeaux’s first match of their title defense. (goal can be seen here)
And before impressing on Sunday, Maroune reaffirmed his wish to leave Bordeaux – with Arsenal on top of many destinations he has been linked to.
“My priority is Arsenal, but there are other clubs,” he told Canal Plus.
“If it’s Arsenal, so much the better. I hope it’ll be sorted out very quickly.”
“As much for Bordeaux’s sake as for mine, my situation has to be clarified. I thought they (Bordeaux) would have made things easier for me.”
He added: “I am not sleeping as well as I normally do.
“I made my wishes known to the directors at the end of last season. I expressed a wish to join another league.
I hope that his wish comes true. It is very obvious that his heart is with The Arsenal. Reminds me of Arshavin’s desperate move to Arsenal last season.
But Arshavin heart isn’t with arsenal
Hi Randy, thank you for posting “Fantasy Debate” Judging from the response, I must say that most of us enjoy it. Keep posting.
Cheers!!!…I only started “Fantasy Debate” to ignite the imaginary ideas that come into our minds sometimes.
Ashavin did everything to get to Arsenal and he is now faced with a huge tax and a club very reluctant to rise above mediocrity and match his ambitions. An anti-climax of monumental boredom that has become THE ARSENAL
Alex Ferguson made a very interesting comment recently by stating that if Arsenal do not suffer the same fate (injuries) as last season, and with a fully fit squad, we are still a force to reckon in the Premier League. I am a great believer of a big squad because of injury and suspension to players. Chamakh addition to the squad is most welcome.
I stil believ in arsenal.I stil believ we can end the trophy this season.one more defender& a striker maybe Chamakh can help boost the team.
pls i wish he shud come more dan he wishes himself.he is a wonderful player indeed n he cud play wiv all his hrt
Nice one. Never liked Chamak but feel we need a striker at all cost. Bendtner is wayward most times. Let all give him a chance. Always believed in ARSENAL AND WENGER. FA CUP FOR US THIS SEASON.
Wenger truly is a genius- 2 clubs in genuine contention for Chamakh- Arsenal and Sunderland. Wenger registers interest in the player as do Sunderland. Bordeaux and Chamakh dismiss Sunderland’s interest. Little do they know Sunderland are willing to pay much more than Arsenal for the player. Now Bordeaux are in trouble- they’ve dismissed Sunderland who won’t make a bid now on principle, but Wenger has a limit he is willing to spend. Chamakh will be able to talk to other clubs in 4 months time and leave on a free next June. Bordeaux now have to accept Arsenal’s low offer, which is probably less than half of what Sunderland would have paid, otherwise Chamakh will leave for nothing. Piece of luck or genuine masterstroke from Wenger?
