LDN Blue 7,903 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Said all along -not good enough -West Ham type of player.....We'll never know how good he is. He'll never get enough time to show it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 We'll never know how good he is. He'll never get enough time to show it..I think hes a good player but not good enough for Chelsea -his awareness, first touch, and finishing weaknesses are exposed too often...

Kostas 1,468 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Can't afford offloading West Ham players when we've got some who should be playing in League One. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Experience he's not being allowed to get. Hardly the player's fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly the player's fault?Possibly -but we cant afford a liability at this level. I've watched him since we got him from Man City and to me hes had ample opportunities -I never think hes going to change a game when he comes on - good player but not, as you say, yet. Wheter thats down to experience, I tend to think hes not talented enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheter thats down to experience, I tend to think hes not talented enough.I think that's all due the fact he has no confidence from his manager. He's seen Carlo prefers the likes of Kalou over him (Sturridge > Kalou imo). The manager shows no intent to use him and when he is used it's in a time frame so narrow, even Drogba wouldn't make an impact if brought on then.

Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Kalou is frustrating for his finishing - should be the Prem top scorer with 15-20 goals -as it is only 7, different to a liabilty. But all are firing blanks atm - Drogba Anelka Malouda there is someting fundamentally not right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 He's got potential Kalou is easily the least talented member of the squad. Every other player has something tangible, a quality that is identifiable. I honestly don't know what it is that Kalou does. Leighton Baines, one of the slowest left backs in the league, had arguably the easiest game of his career today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A goal against West Ham when the ball was blasted at him by the hapless Green. Goals against rubbish like Blackpool that you or I could score against.He is a nothing player. Truly rubbish and a complete and utter waste of time. The minutes wasted on him would be better served on more talented players like Sturridge. How on earth is Sturridge a liability? He hasn't even started two games in a row his whole Chelsea career and he is a liability!?!?! Are you actually having a laugh or are you serious?

Sturridge will be gone next season -simply not good enough in my opinion, and I would have a lot more confidence in Kalou scoring than Sturridge at the moment.

Well you are entitled to your opinion but I strongly disagree.We know how bad Kalou is. He has been this rubbish since the day he arrived. He hasn't improved and will not improve. He is 25 and this is as good as it gets. Scolari said that in 2009 Kalou was so bad at running with the ball he taught him how to dribble around poles in training. Can you believe that? A 24 year old footballer, an attacking player no less, was being taught how to dribble around poles like a 7 year old. This is the kind of player you say is good enough for Chelsea and you are unwilling to give somebody like Sturridge who has actual talent a proper chance?Laughable.

Was this in January 2009 , because he was gone by February ? Scolaris sour grapes by the sound of it. Yes it is about opinions -given the chance I would play neither Kalou or Sturridge, but out the two Kalou is the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZanSnake 1,211 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Kalou is useless as a winger because he hasn't got the trickery, crossing ability, nor the strength to get the ball into dangerous eras. Kalou is an PL average striker, he can score the odd goal that is decent if the goalkeeper's timing is delayed by defending fault or lack of vision, he has the speed to run on to defences mistakes and to run off the defender, sometimes he has a tendacy to run off the ball to a position that is, somewhat, forward, mostly causing the offside. Kalou is basically the kind of player that someone West Ham need, or Bolton, not for potential Champions League challengers and title chasers.Sturridge has potential to be a good player; he has a good right foot which we saw in pre-season, he has speed, he has trickery, i think he does have a nice first touch which he has shown in the game today on the edge of the box. He has some good finishing, not the best in the world. Whilst Sturridge hasn't got strutter to go on and change the game completely, his presence sometimes can change the teams performance if he is used right, which imo Carlo hasn't. He is four years younger then Kalou and should replace him in whatever role he has.Borini, on the other hand, is a 'goal hanger' someone which would be used at Man Utd, he can finish chances and has the speed to pounce. He has agility and awareness of what goes on. He is important, in my eyes, and we should be the club he is at when he gets to full development with his talent.

Kostas 1,468 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I must admit that I'm surprised with his attitude. Ancelotti's treatment toward him has been almost disrespectful yet he has not made a big deal out of it. If he was as arrogant as I originally thought he would have some sort of reaction.
