capriccioso 2,545 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Give him a run in the first team, he surely can't be any worse than what he'll be replacing, an ineffectual winger in Sturridge. Play Sturridge in his preferred central role or bench him for Lukaku/Drogba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francozola 2,040 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 He has become especially crap in the last 18 months. I don't remember him being this pathetic before the 10/11 started. He was rubbish, but not a league 2 standard footballer which is what he is now. Anyone agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmax 9,219 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Kalou gets too much attention for someone who's never going to start important games or feature regularly in other games either. We have bigger problems than Kalou, or Malouda for that matter.My last words re Kalou - Thanks for the goals but don't let the door hit you on the way out.

capriccioso 2,545 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 How good was he at Feyenoord? Is it possible we've ruined his potential? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 We can argue 'til we're blue in the face about who's better, Kalou or Malouda. At the end of the day they're both muck. Let's get both of them out the door this summer.Impossible. We argue who's worse nullabletype 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krypt 241 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 How good was he at Feyenoord? Is it possible we've ruined his potential?Not at all. Kalou has his moments but his decision making is the problem , against brum he made a couple of great runs and beat a few defenders , but then he would be anonymous for large parts of the game. i would still pick him over Malouda for the rest of the season. Then look to ship them both out and bring a consistent left handed player in. but miss out on the CL and we may be stuck with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm sorry but i don't agree, why is Kalou shit for only 89 minutes? He doesn't consistently score late goals. It's not like every time he's on he scores in the 90th minute, It doesn't have to be the last minute could be the 56th, 3rd, 20th, 78th whenever but usually when Kalou plays their is once in a game he does something constructive, Malouda just runs into the first defender all the time, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badboy 1,526 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 This whole Kalouda debating is hilarious, people are actually SERIOUSLY debating on which player will be the least liability in the team. How the fuck did we get this bad lol the first 2 years of the new Era was amazing the future looked so rosy but its all come crashing down.

Badboy 1,526 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 If I was either Malouda or Kalou reading this thread I would feel like utter shit reading these serious debates. Sheva. and capriccioso 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Kalou hasn't really progressed because he was a striker at Feyenoord, he has been shifted to the wing to allow the bigger names in the squad to play. He still has a lot to offer I'd say, great goal poacher and as stated previously he always contributes when he comes on as a sub. Would be a shame to see him leave for free when he still has plenty to offer at Chelsea. He has been seen as a scapegoat when things aren't going right sometimes but I think if he is given a run in the team upfront he will do a hell of a lot more than Mr 50 million.

Kostas 1,468 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 He has become especially crap in the last 18 months. I don't remember him being this pathetic before the 10/11 started. He was rubbish, but not a league 2 standard footballer which is what he is now. Anyone agree?Very much doubt that is true. A possible explanation would be his good 3/4 weeks in late 09/10 created a false view and somehow raised expectations. Or maybe you finally stopped clutching onto the "he's young he's got potential" nonsense after 5 seasons of disappointment.His first season was by far the worst, since then he's been consistently performing at his level.

Kieran. 6,317 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Today, he became only the second player after Sergio Aguero to score in the league, FA Cup, League Cup and Europe this season. capriccioso and BlueLion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, him and Aguero are of the same league. Seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedsBlue 1,549 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I am glad that RDM is giving Kalou some chances so that he can prove his critics wrong and in that process help attract interest from other top clubs in the world.Arsenal have showed interest in him but I am sure Chelsea will be reluctant to sell to a rival club.This may be his last season at Chelsea and I will be happy if he leaves on a good note.

Tomo 21,751 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I would love it if Kalou scored the winner in the CL final, i wonder what would be the more popular topic of discussion, us being Champions on Europe or Kalou getting another one of those 'lucky tap ins'.

Rubber bullets 1,183 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I've just looked at his starts, he usually appears in about 40-50 games a season, getting about 10-12 goals every season.Today was just his 13 appearance this season foor Chelsea, but he has got 4 goals this season. So his minutes per goal ratio must be quite good without the context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
