Salomon Kalou

100% He is leaving?

[Ramox 246]

Here's a stat. 33% of Kalou's league goals have come in the last 15 minutes of the match.

It would be hard to score a goal from the bench. :- )

Any chance of finding how many of his goals were scored in games won by 3 or more?

Yeah, here's a list of goals that weren't the opener, equaliser or winner; or in general barely influenced the result:

2nd goal in a 2-0 win vs Blackburn in October 2006

3rd goal in a 3-0 win vs Blackburn in January 2007

2nd goal in a 2-0 win vs Portsmouth, 3/07

3rd goal in a 4-1 win vs West Ham, 4/07

2nd goal in a 3-0 win vs Sheffield United, 3/07

2nd and 4th goals in a 4-0 win vs Hull, 9/07

5th goal in a 6-0 win vs Man City, 10/07

3rd goal in a 3-1 win vs Huddersfield, 2/08

3rd goal in a 3-0 win vs Olympiacos, 3/08

2nd goal in a 2-0 win vs Man City, 4/08

4th goal in a 4-0 win vs Portsmouth, 9/08

4th goal in a 4-1 win vs Cardiff, 2/10

6th goal in a 7-1 win vs Aston Villa, 3/10

3rd goal in an 8-0 win vs Wigan, 5/10

4th and 5th goals in a 6-0 win vs Wigan, 8/10

5th goal in a 5-0 win vs Genk, 10/11

2nd goal in a 3-0 win vs Newcastle, 12/11

That works out at 17/60, or roughly 28%, and I'm being generous by including the 2nd goal in 2-0 wins, take them out and its only 14/60 that were truly useless. Also there's a problem with this data, what if some of the times we were 1-0 or 2-0 up and we were getting dominated and Kalou scored a goal that knocked the stuffing out of the opposition charge? And in a sense, none of those league goals from that list were truly useless in that they still at least boosted our goal difference. Also, he has 40 assists to his name but I wasn't able to find a list of those to determine which were useful and which weren't.

To answer your specific question, though, 12 out of 60 or 20%.

Interestingly, all of his goals in 2009 (about 10, I think) were 'useful' in that the result might have been different had he not scored.

Will the bastard just leave already.

I kid Cap... Well not the fact that he should leave.

Thank you Salomon for 58 goals and 40 assists.

60 goals. 46 of which influenced the result.

I'll not have cheapening of the great man's achievements round here!

[Kezza 1,965]

Is it confirmed he is leaving?

Can't believe hes going and Malouda is staying..should be the other way round

There's no sense to it whatsoever, as he is by several magnitudes better than Malouda and we can still get a transfer fee for him. Poor decision.

Bosingwa leaving ahead of Ferreira is another similar decision, he's better than Paulo and Paulo could still fetch perhaps 800k- 1 million. All that winning experience must count for something.

Okay , the Chelsea official website and thechels.info both have him down at 60 goals, and you can count them individually at thechels because they have a full list.
