Sounds like a good deal to me! I have no idea how good this guy is but in pictures he looks remarkably like Ronaldo. Of course, if he is bought for £7m and turns out to be crap, his name will go instantly into East End slang as a replacement for chump or a much stronger insult! "You complete Chamakh!"
As ever at West Ham, we solve one problem and create another. If Collins goes, Davenport departs, Neill fails to return, Gabbidon breaks down again and Upson joins the Unreal City gravy train, we are suddenly short of central defenders. Our top half finish was based on a very solid defence last season and as promising as N'Gala may be, I don't want to see him paired with Tomkins in the Prem quite yet!
However, if Chamakh is a West Ham player by the end of today, I will be a happy Hammer. I may even relent on my anti Duxbury campaign and eat some humble pie. Not much though because I am on a diet after all those burgers in the States!

i'D HATE to lose ginge, he's consistently sweated blood for west ham and makes some amazing blocks and last ditch tackles when we've been up against it. saying that though, Tonka is class and deserves a chance it would be a shame. on the plus chamakh and the beast would do nicely
Yes I would be very sorry to lose Collins but if needs must...
I would hate to see Collins go in all honesty. I firmly believe we have the strongest central midfield in the division with Upson, Collins, Gabbidon and Tomkins all top quality players and if anywhere needs to be strong, it is central defence. Raise the money some other way.

"raise the money some other way"
We don't have a magical tree where we can pick of ripe 1 million pound notes.
Perhaps we could try to steal that tree from Man City's garden! Knowing our luck, we would then plant it in toxic soil and it would die anyway!
Looks like he's gone.

Sad, but we could do with the cash. Hopefully it will help with bringing in Chamakh, although I have reservations, can't help thinking he might be using us as shop window.
