Chamakh is over rated... he's being looked good because of the support that Gourcuff gives.
He won't make it anywhere else except Arsenal and Bordeaux... plus he's 25.

Gourcuff ?  Oh Yes

Hazard ? Oh Yes

 Chamakh? no thanks, not even on a free !

i think he would be a better free transfer signing than owen, there is obviously quality in him if wenger was interested in signing him.

i think considering the sources to break the story i m not really upbeat for it at all......its goal.com the worst and then football365 which is not really up there either......

plus considering the stikers we are looking at chamakh is not really up there i think he might be one of those player that could suit arsenal but not us.....

 Chamakh on free?? any day!! even wouldnt mind paying 4-5 MP in January. It will be a good bargain. Then, no Villa but only Silva. Goalkeeper is also must as VDS is showing signs of his age. That would do for us.

 I dont want Chamakh or Gourcuff here

Gourcuff is a very good player but we have enough cover in our midfield while i dont really rate Chamakh that much and David Villa is the striker we need.

i hope it's goucuff that we are watching as i think he's the ideal player for us.

 After a summer spent trying to achieve a move to the Premier League, Girondins de Bordeaux forward Marouane Chamakh will be free of a contract come the end of June, and Manchester United are ready to make a move for the Moroccan international forward, according to Football365.

Chamakh, who has struck four times in Ligue 1 this season, was courted by the likes of Arsenal, Sunderland and West Ham United last summer, but all three clubs ultimately baulked at the price-tag slapped on the player.

Nevertheless, the 25-year-old has continued to show a decent level of performance at the Stade Chaban-Delmas this term and this has supposedly piqued the Red Devils’ interest, as they know that acquiring the player on a free transfer next summer would make him something of a bargain.

Bordeaux’s recent emergence as a European force, which culminated in a fine 2-0 away win against Bayern Munich earlier this week, has raised hopes around the Garonne that the player may yet be persuaded to stay, but he has remained coy on the matter so far.

Manchester United will have Chamakh watched on Sunday afternoon, when Bordeaux tackle Lille. The English giants will also use the match as an opportunity to catch up on exciting Dogues winger Eden Hazard, who, at 18-years-old, is one of the outstanding young talents in France.

Chelsea, Arsenal, Valencia and Juventus have all been linked with Chamakh in the French media of late, despite the Gunners stating that they would not pursue him further, after their flirtations last summer came to nothing.
