Come on, Marouane!

Marouane Chamakh is looking to move this summer, but I'm not sure I liked his comments that he feels less like a Bordelaise with each match.  I wouldn't think anything of it except for the fact that Bordeaux has lost a 9-point lead in the Ligue 1 standings.  Montpellier has whittled it down to 3, with Bordeaux drawing against Boulogne and losing to Rennes in their last two matches.  I don't think that Arsenal will be so keen on Marouane if he doesn't play well and Bordeaux go on a slide and lose the Ligue 1 title.

Here is an excerpt from the Fox Soccer article:

"My future? Well, I hold all the cards, I have no reason to be under pressure but everyday passing by, I am a little less a Bordeaux player," he revealed.

"My choice is to join Premier League and if I could choose, I will go to Arsenal.
"Bordeaux has brought me so much. I will soon clearly state things so the club can prepare to find my replacement peacefully."
Chamakh is full of praise for Bordeaux boss Laurent Blanc.
"Laurent Blanc has brought us a winning state of mind, he has taught us how to hate defeat," he told L'Equipe.
"Both on mental and physical levels, I am at my best. Three years ago, I was still a little crazy. Now I can manage my efforts, which allows me to be more clear-sighted at the end of the match.
"I have improved, but I can still improve. I am not only happy to play anymore. I have become someone who wants to win. I am more a scorer, but not enough yet. There are too many situations where I still do a pass for a player in a better position." [end story]

hmmmmmm....I can understand Marouane wanting to join an EPL team, but he should play out his remaining days at Bordeaux as a full-fledged member of his team.  Making comments like this does not do him justice, and it's not fair to his team.
