Ludicrous to keep Malouda?

[Badboy 1,526]

I have always said that Malouda has fantastic technique. I would keep him but as our last resort because I believe we have better younger hungrier players in the squad. At the end of the day we need squad players who are willing to do a shift when needed so players like Raul and Flo Mo are useful in that regard !

Quality article as usual Alex. especially the trip down memory lane..even if we don`t share the same opinion on whatever topic. it`s so much better than reading half hearted remarks with nothing offered to back up the opinion shared.

It`s not ludicrous to keep Malouda but with Hazard and Marin i presume the 1-2 at LW/LM and others capable of playing there . where does he fit in?

i`ve never been a boo bird atleast not against our own. i`ve called Klinsmann a diving nazi cunt (i know not all germans were Nazi`s but when he`s dived for a pen or whatever against us,ya know..we do come from cavemen) but not our own players..never even called Darren Wood "Sharon" when many used to. but i am a bit mean to Flo mo online i guess. most of that has been from the club supposedly wanting to sell him and his seemingly unwillingness to be sold which appeared to be over salary.

also i don`t think we should keep a player for his experience when his talent has waned to a level where he`s third choice at best.the same i think about Ferreira. because although there`s young players at those positions they are experienced enough. both Marin and Hazard have enough experience..if we was talking CB then yeah the safety valve of a veteran would come in handy but not so much for the LW/LM position. i believe even with Malouda and Ferreira gone we would still have ample experience where it matters. if Malouda could play multiple positions and perform decently there then great he`d be worth keeping but not just as third choice LW/LM.

having said all that..it`s not in our control so all we can do is hope whatever is the best for Cfc happens. and cheer the team on from the stands .

I'd much rather keep Benayoun than keep Malouda. Benayoun at least has an incredible work rate. Malouda on the other hand is a completely mediocre player who isn't good at anything in particular. His work rate is okay at best, he's not particularly fast, he's not that strong, his technique isn't that great, he's not a great passer or crosser, etc. He's sort of like Meireles, another extremely mediocre player on the team, but at least Meireles tries. I guess it won't hurt too much to keep Malouda around, but at this stage, but my expectations are very, very, very low from him.

but just in my opinion

malouda can give little more physical presence

than bena who physically similliar with kind of marin, ramires, mata

and we need that stronger body upfront for certain situation

for work rate, i agree but i think on the flank

malouda have good understanding and combination with ashley cole

not just in attack, but for defence too

and for passing, yes, he is average even awful sometimes mostly when he is in the mid

but when he cross from wide , i think he still can manage good crossing
