New man: Crystal Palace have completed the signing of former Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh
The 29-year-old striker had fallen out of favour at Arsenal and endured a dismal spell on loan at West Ham last season.
Holloway, speaking after Palace had lost 1-0 against Lazio last weekend, said: 'I normally do okay with people whose careers are faltering. I love them up and work with them, and hopefully I can get him back to how he was after he joined Arsenal.
'There was nothing wrong with him then when he scored eight in nine. But I wouldn't fancy being Robin van Persie's understudy, it can't have been fun.'
All smiles: Chamakh watched his new side take on Lazio at Selhurst Park on Saturday
