Yup, you're right. He's 25. I thought he was a bit younger for some reason.
Sorry about that, Inch!

I won't consult YouTube, cos with several days and a nearby power supply to recharge the camera, I could come up with a minute-long clip that would make me look good.

Bordeaux reject Chamakh rumours
President denies deal is in place for Arsenal to sign striker
By Patrick Haond Last updated: 19th June 2009
Bordeaux president Jean-Louis Triaud has denied that a deal has been struck with Arsenal and Marouane Chamakh's agent to sign the striker.
The 25-year-old has made no secret of the fact that he wants to leave the French champions this summer with a move to the Premier League his favoured destination.
France Football magazine suggested that Gunners manager Arsene Wenger had made direct contact with the player's agent and a four-year deal was said to have been agreed.
Fulham are also thought to have expressed their interest in the Moroccan international, whose contract is set to run out next year, on Friday.
However Triaud was only able to declare that no contact had been received from Arsenal.
"That is only chatter," he stated.
"I don't know where it came from, but I never heard any Arsenal representatives since (Sylvain) Wiltord, which means almost eight years."

I don't know if that's because of his team that doesn't feed him goals as arsenal do with their strikers, but you never know. As much as it hurts me to say it, coz I'm moroccan too, we probably don't need him. Ade, dudu, rvp, betnder, vela and a bunch of great attacking midfielders and ultra motivated kids on the way... I don't know, we seem pretty complete... when there's no injuries (Knock on laptop).

Thanks for the detailed description Ben, it's actually more informative than YouTube.
You're right we are pretty complete on the attacking front, but this guy is meant to be a replacement not an addition.
We're only buying him if Ade leaves.gunngunn wrote:This guy is shit, sorry, but Ade is World Class, this guy isn't even Prem class.

The rumours are still persisting though mate, they just don't seem to want to go away.
I agree with you though, I think if we let him loose we'll be begging for Ade to come back.
