I dont think many other teams would complain if they got a decent striker on a free...only DM complains about it
...even if Chamakh doesnt start...hes there as a back up...i mean can we really rely on Eduardo to put in goals anymore??...Wenger should cash him in tbh and with RVP being made out of glass...im glad we got Chamakh who could come in if needed and hopefully put some goals in.
But yes Silvestre to go...still surprised at why Wenger signed him...he offers nothing at all other that ineptness at the highest level
.
He's anything but free, lets say he's on 20k a week now, a normal transfer he'd be bumped to 30 or 40k a week and get a million signing on bonus. As he's free, expect it to be a 3-4 million signing on bonus, and its 50k a week(maybe more) instead of 30k a week, thats 1 million a year in wages extra, if he stays for 5 years, that means he cost 9million, not free, not close to free.
He'll be sitting on the bench, RVP is our starter in a 4-5-1, Bendtner scored more important goals than RVP did this season and wasn't fit all year. Eduardo is better than Chamakh, he's playing badly, BECAUSE HE'S NOT PLAYING. Chamakh will be just as not match fit, and not sharp, when he's not playing every game. We've got 5 quality strikers, 4 of which are not match fit or sharp, purely because they aren't playing, why make that 5 not match fit players who aren't sharp?
Not to mention that if we pay him 50k a week, thats 50k a week less that we can afford to pay, an extra centre back we do need because the cover isn't good enough, or some wingers with pace who actually are wingers, or a DM.
The idea that getting a player on a free is a good idea, when he won't play and takes money away from getting players we do need is completely ridiculous.
Same way we loaned out Senderos, because Wenger thought that having him ride the bench on 30k a week or so, was rather pointless when we had Silvestre aswell sitting around sucking up wages.
The reason we didn't get an extra CB last season, because we're paying Silvestre, and were paying Senderos. Extra players takes wages, and every player on a high wage means another player you can't afford.
We have 5 strikers, we have plenty of cover, why add higher wages to the team riding the bench?
We've got 2 decent CB's, and Sol, no idea how long he'll last and every year our CB's get injured due to lack of rotation throughout the season. We're desparate for another decent CB, so given the choice, do you want another 50k to go on wages for someone where we've got 4 deep backup who are all quality, or a backup CB whose actually good enough. IF and ONLY IF we got two GK's, 2 CB's(3 if Gallas goes) and a DM would I consider an extra striker fine, if there was the money. I'm not against a bigger squad and more backup, but Wengers a tight little git, we are desparate for 4 maybe 5 players, I don't think he'll be getting Chamakh ASWELL as all those, but he'll get Chamakh instead of someone we need more.
