Salomon Kalou

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'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.

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.

Well Feyenoord are in the Champions League next season and he will get more playing time over in Holland anyway if he does go good luck to him

Not to sound offensive but that's bollocks.

He's been playing in the PL long enough for all professional clubs to know his quality. On top of that his wages are closer to what the first striker of most PL clubs gets rather than the sub he could at the very best hope to be.

Most of the transfer stories regarding him are laughable. It's most likely his manager trying to create an image that would help him in any ongoing negotiations or a poor journo who got his hands on the list of Chelsea players whose contract expires and is forced to come up with something on Kalou because his editor has given the story about the true Ivory Coast footballer to a more experienced hack.

I frankly can't believe anyone could buy that Wenger's Arsenal would ever be interested in him, he's absolutely nothing like a Wenger player. The only clubs which is less likely to get him that Arsenal is Everton and afaik he's been linked with them too.

Mind elaborating on how he's a role model/idol? Apart from the self serving little talent+lot of effort what else could there possibly be?

[Spike 12,049]

I want him gone. He hasn't improved since day one at Chelsea, if anything he has regressed.

[RamiCFC9 258]

Thank you Kalou, farewell and I hope i never see you in Chelsea shirt again.

[Jype 6,398]

Let's see how many of you change your minds after he scores the winning goal in extra time tomorrow.

HALLELUJAH!
