Drogba and Kalou available on Monday.

[middleoftheshed 388]

Our manager did break some good news in the post-match press conference by informing the awaiting journalists that both Salomon Kalou and Didier Drogba will not depart for the African Cup of Nations until 29 December

That means they'll both be available for the Fulham game on Monday, although Ancelotti also admitted Nicolas Anelka will not play against our London neighbours.

From the official site.

That's handy then, well handy to have Didier anyway lol. Kalou can stay on the bench.

Like OllieCFC says, Handy to have Drogba but i don't really care about Kalouless.

Good news, and hopefully he will deliver the goods on Monday to widen the gap between us and Manure.

How is Kalou being available good news?

[Ollie 4,400]

I'm guessing Mikel has probably gone unless the interview was just focused on the attack. I was actually proper looking forward to seeing Borini and Sturridge 2moro tho but it is good Didier can give us 90 more minutes (Man Utd 2-1 as i write this). It's all about Drogba tho, Kalou and Mikel can stay on the bench if available, it's Didier's time 2moro.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Didier and Borini to start up front in my opinion. We can bring on Kalou when we need him. We need to get Borini some more game time, but it looks as if Anelka will be back for Hull so we "only" have Watford to contend with without our star strikers.

why even include kalou in the title..

maybe if we boycott kalou the club will respond and sell him.

[Rambo 1,729]

LOL why is everyone hating Kalou? He's a horrible striker but a decent winger and he works hard.

[Blueboy 14]

I'm not a fan of Kalou as a striker xD. But i agree with Tech, he can do a pretty good job as a winger..

Still i hate him for what he has caused me to go through at times
