Regrets

By: Jennifer | August 7th, 2009

I think the Chamakh dilemma coincides with a difficult time in my life. As you might know right now, Real Madrid is in Toronto and that means….Karim Benzema. I’m been a big fan of him for a while now, and it’s a shame that I have to work through the times he’s in Toronto. I can’t decide if I want to go to the airport tomorrow and get an autograph or what. If only I knew when they are leaving! I know which hotel they’re staying at but…

Okay, I’m starting to sound like a stalker, but you understand that the chances of me seeing players of his calibre again is like, never.  (It’s even worse than missing Bordeaux in Montréal….)

But, alas. Chamakh dilemma. Chamakh was in England (reportedly) trying to push through a deal. I can’t say I didn’t predict Chamakh’s relationship with Bordeaux turning bad.  (<– I did, I did. I just can’t find the comment/post where I said it.)

As you may have heard, Chamakh is now accusing Triaud/Blanc of intentionally blocking his transfer out of mean-spiritedness. They have rebuked Arse(nal)’s 6 million bid for Chamakh, and also preparing to block the 7.5 million Arsene “Voyeur” Wenger is thinking of offering. But of course the Wenger is now putting Chamakh off. He states that Chamakh only has a year left on his contract, and in 5 months, Bordeaux will not make a cent off Chamakh (I never said Voyeur wasn’t S-M-A-R-T).

Chamakh seems to think that 6 million is totally reasonable for his qualities. He also promises that if nothing happens, he WILL be playing Lens. I hope that’s a promise he’ll keep.

Also, season starts tomorrow against Lens. I’m excited.

    If there was a team I would like Gourcuff to move to, it would be Inter. But right now that’s not very likely, seeing as Bordeaux will probably keep Gourcuff for at least 2 years.

    In the mean time, COULD THIS BE CHAMAKH’S LAST GOAL FOR LES GIRONDINS? Dun dun dun.

    It seems that Arsenal will soon withdraw from negotiations with Chamakh, but West Ham are coming up with a 9.4m euros bud for Chamakh now.

    (And in terms of Chamakh’s replacement, it’s not only Jovanovic but also fellow countryman Nikola Zigic at Valencia.)

    ETA: Just as it appears that Wenger’s quest for Chamakh is off, there appears to be a £8m bid for him. Ho hum.

    He’ll most likely stay… he’s supposed to make his decision by Monday, the only frustrating part is whether he’ll extend his contract or leave on bosman (for free).

    It would be really sad if Chamakh left on a Bosman, He’s one of Ligue 1’s best players and it would be a real blow to the Ligue and Bordeaux if he left.

    He’s pretty much waiting for his contract to end now and leave then. He said that he’ll stay at Bordeaux but there’s no way he’ll sign an extension…

    He’ll have a much better chance getting to the club he wants (Arsenal and all) if they don’t have to pay a cent for him.

    Jennifer, we are in for a real test this weekend against one of our biggest rivals next to Toulouse; l’OM!

    If we win this weekend at the velodrome we’ll open up the gap between them even the more.

    i’m really excited about this weekend anything can happen.

    Allez Bordeaux
