Salomon Kalou

[capriccioso 2,545]

Oh dear. cap will not be liking this.

Damn straight. What are you going to in the Netherlands? Forget that and sign a new deal, please Salomon!

This is an enormous kick to the teeth for me. I am shocked and genuinely upset

[capriccioso 2,545]

Does this mean that the club has decided not to offer Kalou a new contract? Or he wants to go regardless?

I'm certain what he meant was if he has to leave here he'll go to his boyhood club, Feyenoord. I don't think he'll be much interested in playing PL football against us, he really seems to have enjoyed his time here regardless of the fact that many managers haven't permitted him to play often and a large section of the fans hate him.

To the rest of the fans, he's somewhere in between a cult hero (probably everyone that doesn't hate him) and idol/role model (me). As I said before, I'm convinced he only meant that he preferred Feyenoord, to say, Spurs, Besiktas, Liverpool, Arsenal, or Juventus, mainly because that club holds a special place in his heart.

Yeah it would be good to see the full interview. As very often most of these sort of quotes are taken well out of context just to create a story.

Well, he was going to play Oranje, so the Netherlands are special to him.

Sayonara Kalou! (Thank God)

Sayonara Kalou! (Thank God)

Disappoint.

He will get a new deal, I'm sure of it.

Cap mate, you're in denial.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Moneyball. He's unbeaten all season. He'll get the deal.

[Kostas 1,468]

No club in the PL was willing to waste a foreigner's spot on him and pay him wages even close to what his pals got him at Chelsea? I'm shocked.

Wonder if his brother/he still holds connections at Feyenoord.

There are loads of clubs interested in him Kostas, ranging from Juventus and Arsenal down to Besiktas and Liverpool but I think he's starting to feel homesick and wants to go back to Holland.

Unless he gets a contract here, which he has often talked positively about. Also, I'm pretty sure he holds a British passport as he's been here for long enough. I think he had a Dutch passport beforehand anyway.

I see. That's fair enough.

Hope he does get a chance to play at his old club. Chelsea and feyenoord must mean a lot to him.

Don't think we'll see many Mourinho players stay in the prem (if any).

[capriccioso 2,545]

That's an interesting point. Who's left of Jose's signings?

Essien, Kalouda, Cole, Drogba, Hilario, Ferreira are all I can think of offhand. And all but Essien and Cole look likely to leave this summer, and even Essien's not a certainty to stay.
