Is Kalou underrated?

[Rubber bullets 1,183]

sometimes that's all it takes.

...besides that 40 minutes was better than kalou's total playing time since joining

Its all very good that he can do tricks and step-overs, but if he can't take on tough difficult players then he will struggle in the Premier league. It may be a good idea to give Gael to a team like Stoke or Birmingham for a loan until January after pre-season to help him settle in the PL, a bit like Jack Wilshere and Bolton. With all the hype surrounding Gael Kakuta I'm sure many teams would let hm in their squad with open arms.

Unfortunately if we do put him on loan then there will be a massive up uproar on this forum alone.

No-one complains about Kalou when he's scoring goals or setting up the winning goal in THE most important match of the season

Kalou is not even close to kakuta ability wise, not even close. Kakuta has better ball control shooting he is quicker he also has amazing vision. Joe cole, ballack and carlo have all said he is special. Just like carlo said KAKUTA IS THE FUTURE OF Chelsea FC !

Sam kakuta's game is not about tricks and step overs, kakuta's main skill is his vision. Yes the boy has fantastic skill, but his ability to pick a pass is what makes him so special. Sam anyone can miss a penalty kick you should know this your english, which makes that statement a cheap one !

Kakuta's got plenty of time to show what he can do in the 1st team but right now I think he's too young to be ahead of Kalou in the pecking order. Kakuta does bring something different to the pitch that we lack, a creative player who likes to take players on, we haven't had one of them since the days of Robben and Duff. You could say Joe Cole but he hasn't been on his game recently.
