Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I'd be happy with Kalou. Very much doubt there's anything in it however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodneyCisse Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Id have him here but think he seems a cock, every cup chelsea win he seems to act like a spoilt kid wanting to hold the trophy more than anyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
juniatmoko Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 kalou is just like simpson = s*** in his own fans eyes while look mint at other club fans. In the end he just mediocre not worth weekly wages to improve things. I don't think he is better than Ba.... in Ba current position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmelads Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 We do need a player in the Kalou mould, someone capable of running at defenders with the ball and pace off it to launch counter attacks, plus another option with our European campaign ahead. As a replacement for Ba I'd want a striker but we also need this kind of player to add to the squad. Obertan may come good but doesn't look like it at the moment and there are major question marks over the fitness of Marveaux. Looking at the youngsters to step up only Ferguson stands out for this role. We haven't had the best success buying cast-offs from bigger PL clubs. Simpson has done alright but Smith and Duff were major flops. Kalou never really got a chance at Chelsea so could arrive looking to prove a point but we've done better in recent years signing players from Europe such as Tiote, Cabaye, Cisse, or the likes of Williamson and Ba from smaller clubs, so I reckon we'll go down this route again. You could argue the likes of Luque, Boumson and Xisco failed in that regard but our scouting seems to have improved a lot since then. Kalou may be free but such a high wage player who would not be in the starting XI would probably put the club off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sicko2ndbest Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Pros Plays right/left Two footed Pacey Good age Cons African cup of nations Could see us as a step down and coast Inconsistent I remember him being talked about as the reason Kuyt was so highly thought of at Feyenord? Didn't Mourinho sign him? Not saying that particularly positive I just remember this going through while Roeder was on his 8th visit to see Kuyt?

Ketsbaia Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Kalou aint the anti-christ! He's alright, especially for nowt. Incredibly, some players are neither great or shite. In a world where Obertan & Smith exist, Kalou is no problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a world where Obertan & Smith exist, Kalou is no problem. Exactly to me iam happy with this possible signing as long as he's being bought to strengthen the squad and not replace somebody, will accept a wage cut and fall in line with the team ethics which Pardew insists upon. It's obvious we need an extra forward and we cant complain too much about a free transfer as long as he's seen as someone to add to the squad and not as a replacement for an outgoing player.

No, but interestingly he does mention that there are several agents involved who would all require their cut of a transfer fee, which ties in with something that has been mentioned by the English press about us losing interest in signing him. Seems like both clubs are using the media to warn his advisors about not playing hardball for their piece of the pie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Kalou's goals to minutes ratio for Chelsea is really excellent, especially when you consider he's a rotation player and often been a sub. Provided the wages aren't astronomically daft I'd be pleased if we signed him. I think he's one of those who'd shine if he started every week.
