Nah. What he lacks is just football abilities. Yeah he has a good pace and commitment, but it's all. He has an awful finish, he can't dribble (when he starts to dribble you see immediately he's gonna loose the ball - actually, his problem is that he just looks at the ball while he should look at his opponent, and when he dribbles he seems to not know what to do with the ball, that's why he's a poor dribbler), he isn't constant (one game he can be good but the next game he's awful - so he's not reliable), he has a bad passing game. To me he is the double of his brother Bonaventure Kalou and he will have the same career as him... The only thing who changes is that he's a bit better. Here the sum up fo his career : he played in Eredivisie (at Feyenoord like Salomon), then he has moved to a French top side, Paris SG, and finally, since he has left Paris in august 2007 he has played only 30 games (Lens, Al jazira Abu Dhabi, Heerenveen). And I think Salomon will have the same journey : Feyenoord -> Chelsea -> some obscure club. We gave him enough time to show something. He didn't grab his chance. So now it's time to say Bye Bye Salomon Of course I wouldn't mind to keep him since we have squad deep problems, but he should be here just to give some rest every now and then to our main players.
