NO! he's absolutely rubbish and makes Chamakh look like Maradona, his first touch is awful and he’s slow and from what ive seen he’s not prolific by any means.
He can get you goals but boy does he piss you off all the time, useless on the ball and only good as a super sub (except when we went to Valencia )
I've just seen clips on youtube when he was at Toulouse - he was pretty hot there. Scored bucket loads and was definitely not slow, seen him giving some defenders "roast" for dinner !! I dare say that is the reason Marseille bought him but he fell out with Deschamps, right ?! And before anyone says Youtube makes everyone look good, I defy anyone to find clips of Kalou that make him look good cos I couldn't !
You cant judge a player from YouTube clips otherwise you have players like Wayne Routledge being compared to Maradona, he might have been good before but every time ive seen him play he has been awful and even Marseille are trying to get rid of him, also he's temperamental and has weight issues according to Marseille which suggests he not really a professional.
Salomon Kalou is a great player. Absolutely awesome. He has a footballing brain, is very decisive and is also a clinical finisher. Would hate to see him go as he can help us turn things around and win the League and I am a BIG fan of his. Buy him in the January sale and you can get him at a discount of 75%. So you can have him for only £8-10million!
I wished i joined this argument earlier. To say that anyone who thinks Kalou is a decent footballer knows NOTHING about football is nothing is just plain unthinkable. Am a Footballer myself and I KNOW THAT kALOU IS NOT ONLY A DECENT FOOTBALLER ,BUT A GOOD FOOTBALLER. HE IS JUST NOT A GOOD FINISHER AND THATS BECAUSE HE ISNT A STRIKER. HE IS A WINGER (RW/LW) AND HE IS JUST UNFORTUNATE TO BE AT POORLY MANAGED CLUB LIKE CHELSEA. HAVING SAID THAT, HE ISNT THE TYPE OF PLAYER HE IS NOW. MAY BE THOSE WHO THINK SOME DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FOOTBALL SHOULD HAVE A RETHINK ABOUT THEMSELVES.
ArdentGooner, if you are a baller and you are telling me that, based on the people you play football with and against, that Kalou is a good footballer, I would have to call you out on that, I'm sorry mate but, Kalou is awful. in what way does Kalou excel ? What is he good at ?
