Talk:Marouane Chamakh

Profile Rewrite
Just as the title suggests. I have nothing against Marouane, but I feel that the article tends to lean towards the biased side rather than encyclopedia-formal; the piece about Pauleta is extremely biased. If I was a more experienced Wiki user, I'd do it myself, so maybe someone with better writing prowess can clean this article up, please?

I agree. It is a strange article. The section on 'Offers' within that on Bordeaux is poorly written. Also, early in the article it states he was born near Bordeaux, but later that he jumped at the chance of moving to Europe - it can't be both so which is it? I don't know enough about the player to really correct these changes, so if someone with some knowledge on the subject, and more experience is up for it then this is an article to get their teeth into. 98.210.196.186 (talk) 15:14, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

This article is awful, informations is all over the placed, even worse is that most of the page is just rumours. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.72.176.176 (talk) 11:26, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Liverpool transfer
Please do not enter info about the rumoured Liverpool transfer until it is officially announced by the clubs. AS of right now, Jan 13, 2010, it is unconfirmed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.250.143.122 (talk) 11:02, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Arsenal Transfer
Not official yet, please do not edit article with regards to the Arsenal precontract yet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.72.176.176 (talk) 14:27, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

I just re-removed the Arsenal free transfer nonsense. It ain't official yet, folks, so don't jump the gun and give people false information until Arsenal FC/Arsene Wenger/FCGB actually say that he will move. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.70.109.171 (talk) 03:35, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from Austinmaguire, 7 April 2010
Please delete "but arsene wenger said in a interview "morouane is a useless player and is no use for arsenal" he is also related to wayne rooney and arjen robben." This quote has never been said and in contradiction to this Chamakh is actually Arsenals number 1 transfer target this summer. So this quote is a fabrication, and totally incorrect.

Re: Arsenal Transfer
Looks like he has signed with Arsenal.

Doubtful, neither Arsenal nor Bordeaux's official websites have acknowledged the transfer. Stop crying wolf. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.236.240.120 (talk) 02:26, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from Ahmadlumb, 10 April 2010
chamakh is on the verge of joining english club arsenal, but is also attracting interest from other english clubs such as liverpool. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahmadlumb (talk • contribs) 20:40, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Career Statistics
His total career statistic goal does not tally with the number on the table, and his 2003/2004 season information is missing, I'll fix the numbers and fill in his 2003/2004 information based on the information in Bordeaux's website. Can someone help me verify whether the information is correct since the domestic and Europe appearance and goals does not tally with the one on the website? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaizer1784 (talk • contribs) 09:19, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

How do you pronounce his name? Is is "Cha-Mak" or "Sha-Mak" or maybe something else? The C of E.          God Save The Queen! (talk) 09:32, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Appearances and goal tally for Bordeaux
It says in the career section that he made x appearances and scored y goals in total, and the same tally is in the infobox. Infobox should only reflect league goals, so something's fishy. Kiagla (talk) 15:34, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Morocco international stats
How accurate are the stats for his international career? Various profiles seem to give varying stats. 50 caps, 15 goals. 52 caps, 15 goals. 54 caps, 27 goals. news from July 2010 53 caps, 27 goals. Also, RSSSF lists Chamakh scoring both goals against Trinidad in 2003 (that would complete his international goals tally) even if the soca warriors reference within this article says there were two different scorers in that match. Banana Fingers (talk) 19:57, 15 August 2010 (UTC)


 * When I was re-doing the entire article, I used this as my reference for international caps and goals. After updating the article and doing some research on Chamakh, there is no way in the world he scored 27 goals at this level. Transfermarket regularly copies statistics off of wiki so I think that's how the 27 goals appearred there because the 27 goals was there previously before I decided to update the article. The allafrica article may have simply copied it off wiki as well. That's becoming the m/o these days.


 * This source says he has 14 as well and you can access the goals at Chamakh's page, but you need an account. — Joao10Siamun (talk) 21:12, 15 August 2010 (UTC)


 * That's what I was thinking as well. There's no way he scored 27 goals.  That would mean he has a scoring rate of a goal every other game.  Anyway, that source from footballdatabase.eu, it also says that he scored both goals against Trinidad in 2003.  Like I said, its the same with RSSSF and that goal should complete his list of international goals of 14 but that soca warriors references says otherwise.

picture update
Since he plays for Crystal Palace now, the main picture needs to be updated. Or maybe a picture of him playing for Morocco? 31.209.163.158 (talk) 22:00, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
