Yorkie Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 http://www.parolesdefoot.com/france/ligue-1/50553/mercato-offre-anglaise-refusee-pour-maiga/ Sochaux's President has said they've rejected an offer for Maiga from an English club, this site guestimating that it's us. Maybe we'll do what Man Utd did with RvN 10 years ago? I'd be astonished if so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 What's meh about it? If we are signing Kalou to re-inforce the squad to give us more forward options and not to replace anyone i would be fine with it. Mind you it is Talkshite so its probably a load of bullocks.

Beren Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/premier-league/transfer-rumours/120607/newcastle-ready-move-free-agent-kalou-173848 Meh !! Chelsea fans I know really don't like him. There are those who think it not possible given his previous wages, but realistically he won't find those wages anywhere on these shores - and he's not retiring, so a paycut is the only realistic option for him if he stays in the country. Good cover/squad player, but with performance-based add-ons in his contract and a reasonably low base salary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I've always liked him and he would be ideal in the position that Ba takes up currently, although not as a replacement. On the one hand, it sounds like the sort of deal we would look at (a freebie), on the other hand, as some have mentioned, he may be high wages. Perhaps the club would consider giving him a hefty signing on fee, to make up for the loss in wages. Knows Tiote doesn't he? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussiemag Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I think hed be a fantastic signing and exactly what we need to rotate with Ba in that left wing role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TherealnorthernTOON Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I don't really get where people can see Kalou as such a bad player, he's been good, got pace to burst, good dribbles, and he's shown that he do have end product to go with it. He's never been a first choice player at Chelsea and should have something to prove as a player. Albeit, if he's fed on success by playing for chelsea he could well be finished. It will be a gamble but we got sit on a very good reliable player of he comes here to take the club to the next level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I don't particularly like Kalou tbh. I guess it would depend on what his role would be should he sign, but I'd be sceptical from the outset. He's essentially a player that has been there and done it, would he have the drive to push himself out of his comfort zone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 One French site saying Inter's interest in Debuchy has pushed us into making a move and we're talking to Lille. On phone so can't post link but it's on the usual Google.fr feed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sugoinufc Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Of all we have been linked with so far i think clyne and that kid from Coventry are the most realistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I like the idea of Kalou. Wrote the idea off initially as I thought he was old, but at 26 his best years are possibly a head of him. Never really stood out or given a massive chance in the Chelsea team that have boasted higher profile wingers than him in the past. As a regular starter I think he can improve a lot. More suited to the wide roll than Ba IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I'd have Kalou here, can't really see us signing another African forward at the minute though. Would fit nicely into a 4-3-3 mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I've got an illogical hatred for Kalou, I can't judge it properly because I just always thought he was mediocre at best then just ignored him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Would happily have Kalou providing the terms are right. He's not someone worth breaking the wage structure for nor should he be given a shedload of bonuses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
