Why do fans get it stuck in their heads they are missing something like, headed goals. Goals wasn't our problem this year, it was defence and mostly midfield.
Can someone please explain how Chamakh, from the bench with RVP as the lone striker, will bring us headed goals? Lets say we ruin him and start him at right wing like Bendtner last year, how many did Bendtner score from the wing? Bendtner scored our most important header of the year against Stoke, and set up an equalising goal against Barca, with his second most important header of the season, Vermaelen was the highest scoring defender in the league(well joint I think at the end).
Lets say we revert to 4-4-2 , which is unlikely as Wenger clearly thinks 4-3-3 works, evne despite desparately reverting to 4-4-2 in bad games, whats the point in playing Chamakh and RVP together, with Theo, Arshavin on the wings, Diaby in the middle with Song and Djourou in defence, with probably Sagna aswell. Arshavin isn't a winger, Theo isn't a footballer, Diaby might not be human, Song people rate highly, incorrectly, he's slow and was useless against any half decent team, Djourou was ALWAYS significantly worse than Senderos, weak, not good at heading despite his size and Senderos is deemed not good enough.
Chamakh is the last person we need to improve the club, not least as with our current line up he literally won't start games.
We need to be improving the BEST 11 we can put out for games we play against Chelsea, Barca, Utd, City, the games we couldn't come close to winning. Right now that means someone MILES better than Djourou/Silvestre in defence, someone miles better than Almunia in goal, someone who can play football instead of Diaby, Denilson, Theo, and some wingers who actually know what wing play is.
Whats the point in strengthening our bench........... when the best 11 we can put out will not improve and we'll still be completely incapable of beating the top teams.
If we drew with Utd, Chelsea and one more with City we'd be within one win of the title, if we'd won one game against Chelsea, Utd and City we'd have won the title.
Bench is irrelevant, even more so as Wenger absolutely refuses to use it, our BEST 11 HAS to improve, and dramatically, and striker is the one position, if we play one player, that can't improve as there isn't a single striker whose available and anywhere near RVP's quality.
