I don't think you should be questioning his methods.

90% of them are against me

Thanks for the idea

Could say as we're linked with him before you made the statement it doesn't count

Or that he's English

Apparently Chamakh has said you need to sell Cesc because he's wanted to leave for years.

Chamakh's a pillock though.

Chamakh speaks sense

Chamakh's clean on through he fakes the keeper lifts his foot and....

Passes it back to Djourou

This.

Let's just hope Vela and Walcott step up if van Persie gets injured.

I wouldn't be mad if we sold him, but I doubt Chamakh said that. Sources?

Where in that article does it say we should sell Cesc because he has wanted to leave for years?

Last I heard (article from l'equipe) Chamakh said he believes Cesc and Nasri will leave this transfer window.

"I think in the situation the club was in, they could have let only one leave," Chamakh said. "Especially Cesc, he wants to leave for several seasons because he's born in Barcelona."

That part. Hard to tell because it's been translated though, hence the apparently.

Why would Chamakh say that anyway ? Bit stupid of him to say that considering he's only been here for 1 year.

Yeah I saw that, but you said he said "we NEED to sell" and that's not what was said.

Honestly I think anyone could say it since its been public knowledge for ages. As much as he claims to love the club, only a moron would be blind to the obviousness of his wanting to leave. His contract is the only reason he hasn't bailed yet.

Like I said, it's been translated. I read a different translation on twitter earlier.(the article I linked is from the last hour)

I said apparently for a reason.

It's all good, I was just curious to know what you said need. Not a big deal.

Arise what do you think of the Chamberlain signing

Admittedly I was very skeptic when we were first linked with him, but after watching some Southampton matches over the Internet and talking to some friends that have seen him live, I am kind of excited to see how this kid turns out. From what I have seen thus far he looks to have plenty of skill and is comfortable attacking and taking on defenders. He definitely can pass a hell of a lot better than Walcott could at that age and currently. Definitely one for the future for sure.

I am happy we spent money on him rather than Joel Campbell or Alvarez.

Not sure how much we will see of him this season but i agree he looks to have better technical ability (not really seen much of his crossing) than Walcott does.

thats cause Walcott is a striker ffs

I think this Joel Campbell deal is still on apparently 1 million :/

Forget Campbell, he will get loaned out anyway and we'll have the same shit with work permits like we have with Wellington Silva.

Yeah you're right. Strikers don't have technical ability.

i was on about his crossing/passing....

ViVaRooney wrote:thats cause Walcott is a striker ffs

Him being a striker has nothing to do with how shit he is at passing. Theo's short game is fucking terrible, and his crossing is atrocious. I understand he is "supposedly" a striker, but he is amazingly terrible at things a winger/forward does and that has been his position for quite some time.

Then change the technical ability in my post to crossing.

I'm not particularly bothered about him like most
