Finally he gets to leave!

Reports recently claimed that Bordeaux president Jean Louis
Triaud has widely opened the arms of the club to welcome
Arsenal misfit Marouane Chamakh.
The Moroccoan international striker left Bordeaux for Arsenal
in the summer of 2010 on a bosman ruling and took no time to
show the gunners how influencial he is, getting involved in at least a goal in his first 7 appearances
for the club, while his Dutch
counterpart RVP was busy nursing injury.
Coincidentally, his performances freezes out as RVP resumes
action…marking the begining of poor form by Chamakh. He
keeps finding it hard to replicate his earlier form for the
gunners while he gradually watches his name fade away in the
heart of most arsenal fans.
After a series of no-luck-trials, he was linked with a move
away from the Emirates stadium but his poor form and 50k/wk
wage seems to scare all possible suitors away.
The 28year old rejected the possiblity of a return to Bordeaux earlier last summer claiming he would wait and fight for his place at arsenal.
He featured in a couple of matches for Arsenal during
the pre season fixtures and never looked convincing. His last
goal for the club came on 17th of september 2011 in a match
against Blackburn which arsenal eventually lost 3-4.
Chamakh went down the pecking order after the arrival of both
lukas podolski and Oliver Giroud, and his only appearance this season came as a 72nd substitute in the capital one cup match against coventry city last month.
It is quite vivid that the former Bordeaux man is supplement
to requiremnet at the Emirates stadium at the moment. Most
gooners will be glad to see him leave Arsenal due to his
perpetual run of poor form and his large wages.
The wish of the fans has apparently been granted after Triaud
admits by saying “Chamakh? He knows when he wants too, he can return to
Bordeaux – but he is happy in London,” in his recent interview
by le 10 sport.
As if that statement has not revealed enough, he went on to
say “Salaries are different in England, but last December I
sent him a message to tell him that if you are not happy in
London, come home, and that message is still relevant today.”
The beautiful part is that the message is still active. To
see Chamakh leave Arsenal is not my joy, but the significant
reduction in the club’s wage structure and an opportunity for
younger strikers in the squad to easily make a first team
appearance is what pleases me.
Bordeaux is where he belongs, so I hope this link eventually
leads to a transfer.
