He has a mean left foot on him and can beat players with pace, has good ball control.I personally think he is better than Chamakh.
As for blaming the manager about transfer dealings like like ged is,It isn't Rafa who messed up the Chamakh deal and he wanted him as one of his top targets and on a free.
Well why did'nt he clinch the deal like he should of clinched the Gareth Barry deal in the Summer after chasing him so long and also winning a power struggle with Parry over the player then. The owners, Purslow and the club played it's part by offering Chamakh better terms, conditions and more money than Arsenal so it was down to the waiter to clinch the deal which he could'nt.
