Posted September 1, 200816 yr Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scoalri let slip in his post match interview that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had enquired about striker Saloman Kalou. (The Times) http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/g...ers/7591213.stm Fine by me !! Wonder what Wenger's enquiry was ? AW : Hey Phil how you finding London me old mucker ? PS: Is not so bad AW : Listen this Kalou fella is he a striker ? PS : Sometimes ........ very good striker when we leave him up the park when we defend corners AW: Is he a winger ? PS : When he warm up to go on very, very good winger . Runs the touchline beautiful AW : Is he midfielder ? PS : No I have plenty thanks AW : Do you think he can keep Billy happy at my place PS : You very funng guy Arsene ...................
September 1, 200816 yr Wenger would use him in his correct position and get the best out of him. I'd rather Kalou over Anelka.
September 1, 200816 yr Author Wenger would use him in his correct position and get the best out of him. I'd rather Kalou over Anelka. What is his best position ? I have watched him for 3 years now and still can't work it out ? Striker - He can't finish Winger - He can't cross or beat a man
September 1, 200816 yr Striker, and given time in that position I believe his finishing would improve. I remember his strike agianst Spuds to make it 3-3... good finish.
September 1, 200816 yr Striker, and given time in that position I believe his finishing would improve.I remember his strike agianst Spuds to make it 3-3... good finish. Saw Kalou give a recent interview in which he said he preferred to play as a striker and that he was privately learning from one of the best finishers in the game. Unfortunately, it turned out that game was Rugby and he was getting shooting lessons from Jonny Wilkinson! Next time he's lining up a shot Gem have a quick look at the crowd behind the goal. You'll see everyone in row Z is ducking out the way. Edited September 1, 200816 yr by just
September 2, 200816 yr Oh boy... If this transfer went through it would leave us with the formidable striking force of... Didier "Crutches" Drogba Joe "Disappointing" Cole (Caroline Cheese said it so it must be true...) Nicolas "I don't want to be here" Anelka Franco "Toddler" Di Santo and... to top it off... Florent "shi*t" Malouda. I bet they're all quaking in their boots...
September 2, 200816 yr His shooting is on a par with Gronkjaer's crossing and Malouda's dribbling. We have to love Gronkjaer after his screamer against Scousers i think because we won that game we got into Champs League, correct me if im wrong.
September 2, 200816 yr You are not wrong Tom, and it could be said that it was the goal that secured Roman taking us over. I doubt he'd have been as interested in us were we not in the CL
September 2, 200816 yr You are not wrong Tom, and it could be said that it was the goal that secured Roman taking us over. I doubt he'd have been as interested in us were we not in the CL But that was one of his crosse's!!! - I think that's the point
September 2, 200816 yr lol. It was delibrate, he thought if he makes it look like a cross the keeper would be confused, and it worked perfectly.

September 2, 200816 yr I saw this on another site, a combination of Kalou and Malouda - wasn't there anyone out there to take these two off our hands by Sept. 1st ? Is Scolari taken in by these two as Grant and Jose were ?
September 2, 200816 yr I have faith in Sala to be honest, he needs to be enocuraged and played up top rather than out wide, i think Felipe can get the best out of him, Malouda on the other hand i've lost all hope for
September 2, 200816 yr Ah, the infamous Kalouda, the mutant, genetically engineered from the parts of the two Chelsea players who is vastly known for his inability to dribble,cross or put the ball in the net. Yes, we need more of them.
September 2, 200816 yr There's actually already a footballer called Kalouda (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lubo%C5%A1_Kalouda) I've been looking at him on Football Manager but decided against him.
September 2, 200816 yr I have faith in Sala to be honest, he needs to be enocuraged and played up top rather than out wide, i think Felipe can get the best out of him, Malouda on the other hand i've lost all hope for Agreed, Byatt. Kalou's still learning, where as Malouda is late twenties? Give Kalou a year or two and with consistent playing time, he will be a recognised centre forward, at least, I hope so...
September 2, 200816 yr kalou just lacks confidence i reckon if he was played as often as lamps and Jt then he would be a force to be reckoned with a game here and a sub appearance there doesnt do any player any good, and it shows with kalou he isnt the best defensivley granted but he's a tryer, which is more than can be said for florence malouda. ok malouda isnt a regular either but he doesnt even try when he's on the pitch
September 2, 200816 yr Pair Kalou with Drogba for about 5 games and I bet he finds something to show us. He is that small, slippery striker we have lacked who can successfully play off a targetman. If confidence is all he needs, then Scolari is the man to find it under.
September 3, 200816 yr I completely disagree that Kalou can't beat a man. He consistently runs round people at the top of the penalty area and his short passing game is pretty good. I'd like to see him on the park to start with, use his pace to run to tire the defence and then bring JCole on later to finish them off. Shooting is another matter. He won't have a future at any of the big four clubs if he doesn't learn to take his chances.

September 3, 200816 yr Wenger would use him in his correct position and get the best out of him. I'd rather Kalou over Anelka. id rather get rid of both of them and play di santo and paim. couldnt be any worse
