    I am really tired of silly Arsenal fans saying Walcott should be played up front.

    Chamakh - Great in the air, good when ball is played to feet and a great finisher. Can also bring others into play and has a great work ethic.
    Walcott - Is fast, decent at finishing. Poor control, poor dribbler, poor in the air, poor passer, weak.

    And the stats to back it up.

    Chamkah's club career stats : 64 goals in 262 games. 1 in 4, most strikers would be proud of that stat. Alot of these where sub apperances too or playing in a mediocre team (Bordeaux)

    Walcott's club career stats : 23 goals in 140 games. Majority of these where starts for a top club in England that creates a bucketload of chances.

    What more proof is needed? Chamakh is the best striker at Arsenal.

    Chamakh is the best in the Prem, so no competition really.

    Walcott as a lone striker would get destroyed coming up against any decent CB partnership. I don't understand some people suggesting he should play as a lone striker with RVP off him (yes i'm looking at you Chris).

    He should get a chance there, if he has poor dribbling, hes better off at striker than as winger no? he could possibly be like hernandez/welbeck fo united, with van persie operating rooney-esque

    It could work tbh. Gervinho is more than capable of playing centrally too. The only problem is RVP has the tendency to drop deep which would also isolate Walcott from the game.
    I think something like
    Walcott-Gervinho
    -----RVP------
    could work well. Especially if they constantly shift around.

    Its too late now though we should have "experimented" with this during pre season.

    Chamakh. It'd be nice to see someone (sort of) useful in the box for at least 1 out of the 5839275298 attempted crosses Arsenal try to make.

    I would have to say that out of the two available options, Theo Walcott is the superior striker of the two.

    His main problem is that he is being played in the incorrect position. He should be utlisied as a striker, yet Wenger persists in playing him out wide. A great manager such as Sir Alex Ferguson would utilise him to full effect, however that is not important as Walcott would not make the Manchester United team anyway.

    You forget to mention that Theo was still developing for most of those games and being played RW so it's hardly a fair comparison. I'd love to see him given a chance up front so he could one day do it for England and we might actually stand a chance in something.

    Defoe's very incosistent these days, Crouch is only good for hoofball and Bent gets a rare look in so yeah probably he would be. No need to mention Rooney obviously.

    Yes, but just not Walcott. Let me tell you something, I absolutetly slaughtered Chamakh and wanted him out of our team the most out of all the other players, but I tell you what when he came on against Blackburn he had that sort of aggression I've never seen from him in an Arsenal shirt. It was more of the old from Bordeaux. If he can put that sort of performance week in week out, I'd prefer him up front than Walcott and RvP behind him. There are many players I'd see up front than Theo 'my footballing brain hasn't developed since I was 14' Walcott. Chamakh, Gervinho, Park, Arshavin are just a few I'd see up top before him.

    I wonder what Chamakh's stats would be had he played on the wing James.

    OP is a phaggot.

    Many players have played on the wing and scored lots of goals. If Walcott had something more than pace then maybe he'd get more goals.

    Don't go insulting me cos I don't overrate him.

    You said WHOS BETTER AT STRIKER did you not?

    Then you criticise Walcott for his goal ratio.. which he has attained from playing right wing.

    Waltrott has played at striker before and not done well. If he was to get another chance there he'd need to start putting away his chances from the wing. It doesn't matter where he is playing, if he can't put away the chances then why should he be played, nevermind played as a striker.

    What a load of shit.

    What games did he start as striker for us then James? The only one i remember is the Carling Cup final V Chelsea where he scored the opening goal.

    Tell me, how many goals has Walcott scored in the PL this season. Then tell me how many goals Chamakh has scored in the PL this season.
    Then compare the minutes they have both played.
