Is it Chamakh or "Sham-Work" by Wenger

You may already have noticed from my posts that I am not a wengerite. I watched the 2008 FA cup semi-final against chelsea, I watched Eboue go crazy at white hart lane with no retribution, and also watched Denilson still keep his place in the second half at liverpool this past season. I cannot be a wengerite.

Let's talk "sham".... I mean Chamakh. Don't get me wrong, Chamakh will get his goals. Everybody does at Arsenal, even the novice would with the chances we create. But here is where I depart with the cheerful majority.
Wenger had the chance to sign him for the past season but opted to roll the dice and we paid for it dearly. Chamakh was the signing we needed in the last campaign. Correction, any extra striker that can play alone was what we needed.

What does Wenger do? He mortgages another year of his players lives in his rigid ploy to prove himself to everyone. But is Chamakh what we need? I think not and this is why. If you watched Inter in their win against Bayern, was there any moment where there was less than 6 Inter players defending in the box. Just once, and that was the start of the second half and it almost cost them. Mourniho will never push all players forward. Infact, the reason Sully Muntari was on the bench is he pushed forward in an earlier game against Jose's direction. Straight bench, Jose don't play.

Wenger on the other hand encourages all players to push forward. Am fine with that. It just means we will always be thin at the back and Wenger adds a little sweetener to the defensive dilemma by employing blondimunia and flappyianski. This means that Arsenal, like Barca will always concede goals. But Arsenal unlike Barca is not successful because we do not have the firepower upfront to finish off games like we did during the TH14 days.

So how is Chamakh a solution to this problem at Arsenal? He is not. Someone convince me that Chamakh faced with the same opportunity as Inter's Diego Milito for the second goal, would have turned the defender out and scored? Bendtner has never gone past a defender. Who will do Milito's work for Arsenal and who will do that work when our Milito is injured, whoever he is? We need a game changer upfront, one that can grab the game by its privates and shake it in Arsenal's favor. But what do I know, I am just a frustrated arsenal fan.
