Salomon Kalou

[Joker10 946]

Many a club are interested in him if current speculation is to be believed. If all else fails he can be dressed up as a CL winner and sold to a Turkish club for around 6-7 million.

Didn't say no club is interested in him, he will find a club as a free agent. I said no club will pay him like a Chelsea player and pay a fee on top of it.

It will be extremely difficult moving Malouda for example, unless we finance his move or PSG sign him.

We don't sell our players usually because of our wages. It is the reason why City will also find it difficult selling their deadwood.

This is correct.

BTW I rate Kalou as a decent squad player who has the ability to improve, scores important goals and is willing to work hard for the team... Now Sturridge on the other hand!

Fair point but Kalou's not on that much comparatively. 60,000 a week is more or less average for a player who has a full trophy cabinet to his name. Someone like Galatasaray would pay handsomely.

Most people realise he's been a Passenger in winning those trophies. They won't be fooled. That's why no-one will pay much for him

If they pay over 3 million for him (what his speculated annual wages are), which anyone surely will, we will be better off keeping him for a year and then selling him rather than letting him walk away.

I don't think a few million will matter to Roman.

The speculation and suspense is too much. I just want it over and done with, now. There's still 9 days for his contract to expire. The fates, just to destroy my nerves, will reveal he is getting a new contract late at night on the 31st of May.

[Spike 12,049]

We will probably never see Cap again if Kalou leaves.

Yeah everyone is pretty concerned for Cap. May God be with him if Kalou leaves...

Erm..don't contracts expire on the 30th of June?

[Sheva. 5,373]

Kalou leaving decreases the chances of Malouda leaving hope they both leave!

Oh gawd! Please, both need to go! IF we are to keep one of them, then it better be Kalou!!

Yeah i would prefer Kalou to stay over Malouda also, if we have to keep one of them.

I always thought it was the first of June?

And before the anti-Kalou brigade come steaming in with "he's rubbish and he always has been", that post wasn't to defend him as a player. That post was to defend him as a boy who pulled on the Chelsea shirt with complete dedication every single time. No more, no less. At least give him some respect and even a choked thank you will be enough.

Rofl he was paid handsomely for doing so, probably earned more than he could he anywhere else. He isn't a saint!!

Having said that he was always a professional, think he understood his limitations (like Paulo) and accepted the pay check an the role he was given in the team.

I wish him well, but I'm glad he is moving on.

[bababoom 4,478]

To be honest he should go, he may work hard but we need better squad players.
