chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Tough call!!I would keep Anelka on the fact that he was better than Kalou during pre-season, and despite the fact that he is in his 30s, he still has a lot to offer.The fact that Anelka is in his 30s however makes you want to think he needs to be replaced by someone younger! (in this case, Mata) ... Kalou however has been poor for us recently, and I can't see him playing for us for any longer, so I went for Kalou!

magic weeds 446 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 thats the easiest of polls:Voted Kalou. Simply because if we sell him, atleast we can recoup 1M pound or something. Anelka stays 1 more year to give us some experience in the CL (his best competition, apart from the penalty shootout).Plus Anelka will always get another role of DM in the team, while Kalou will be running into defenders with no purpose and claiming for penalties and fouls.

Because the poll question is "which player would you like to keep?????" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant I'd sell Kalou for sure. :eyebrows: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Anelka stays 1 more year to give us some experience in the CL (his best competition, apart from the penalty shootout).Yeah, and I wonder which club Chelsea were up against in which he missed that penalty!

bababoom 4,478 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Anelka for me, he has more quality and has proved it. While Kalou hasnt. I know we all get angry at Anelka because he slows down the play so much, but sometimes we forget thathe's not a winger hes a striker. When he gets the chance to play as a striker he does well, like in pre season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badboy 1,526 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I some times wonder if people are watching the same player as me ? Kalou loses the ball more times then he keeps it, he is one of the worst attacking players we have had in recent memory. I don't give a monkeys about Opta stats because according to that Lucas is the best holding midfielder in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve5221 91 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 For me it is who wears the most pride wearing the shirt. Since AVB arrived it is Anelka... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cujo101 75 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Sell Kalou (£6m to Villa?, QPR?, Anyone?), keep Anelka as he's gone at the end of the season anyway and get Mata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henri 115 Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I would rather say neither. Make a another poll and ask the question. Has Boas the ballsand cut thru and sacks player?, or will he play on with Carlos team + 2-3 new players?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gappy 130 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Anelka's contact will expire next season and he seem not to sign new contact.So yes if we want to earn some money we should sell him but I still believe that sometime he show us that he still useful in the squad.About Kalou I think he's not good enough for chelsea even in a substitution squad.
