I think he's very a talented kid whose career has stalled at Chelsea, as many's have. His goalscoring record at feyenoord was very impressive.

Please God no, he's a worse finisher than Barndoor.

Hes a good player. Wouldnt mind him here.

Who the hell is Barndoor?

I wouldn't mind Kalou to replace Eboue.

not a regular at Chelsea so not sure about him....if I remember seemed to have a fairly good season last year

would be interesting!!

He's a good player, i'd take him.

Is he better than than anything we have already?

Kalou isn't 28...not unless he aged by 5 years last year!

For 8million yes but i cant see where he is going to fit in??? Dont we already have enough striker/wingers?

Arshavin,, Walcott, RvP and Bendy are all playing there. Unless playing Bendy on the left is a tactics trial for getting Kalou in?

God not this guy again...we don't need him, I haven't been impressed by his performances at Chelsea and he's another one who misses easy chances.

We don't need a striker but if we have to sign one let it be a deadly finisher rather than a player who's hit and miss.

I get your point but let's not go over the top :lol:

Ade.....Adebarndoor also know as Ade.....Adecan'tscore and more famously Donkey....Donkeybayor.

Now you know no need to ask again :good:

Ill be honest, I would be disappointed if we signed him. What would he offer us??

RvP is the creative striker who bags lots of goals and assist.

Eduardo is a team player who finishes the moves clinically.

Arshavin is the little dynamo

Bendner is the young pretender who is the big target man.

Vela is the precocious finisher.

Walcott is speed, on speed.

Kalou.....ok in the air I guess which we kind of lack???

Some of the players AW's shows interest in are very curious signings. Clearly what we need is some top quality perhaps more experienced players and yet we're linked to what on the face of it are fairly average players.

Are we such cheapskates that we'll buy anyone if they're cheap?

I rate Kalou highly. Thought he had a good year for Chelsea last year and would welcome him at Arsenal.

I have to agree, i just cant see where he would fit in is all.

Kalou has the ability to play at RM doesn't he?

Aswell as RW I mean.

Could signal Eboues' exit if we do sign him :unsure:

Could also mean Theo might get more time upfront :good:

Like his brother he can play on either wing or upfront.

Interesting :popcorn:

Good attacking utility player then :good:

It's our strongest position, our attack is one of the best around. So why we need to add to that again I don't know. Buy CM or CB!

:goodpost: I think we have enough options going forward and unless it was someone really amazing I don't see the point.

We have far more pressing issues, seems strange to me AW is interested in signing attacking players again, surely he can see the problems we have defensively?

In a word, NOOOOOOOOOO!

No better than Bendtner. There's no point buying unless we buy someone better than what we have.

he we lack quality and pace. kalou brings quality and pace.

hes no worse a player than RVP.

Pace perhaps...quality though I don't agree he's been very average everytime I've seen him at Chelsea, seems like another middle of the road forward to me another one who can't take his chances.

because one injury and we're fecked.

We do miss Walcott's pace when he's out so i can see teh logic but i have a feeling it's lazy journalism. Wenger was interested last year but then he bought Arshavin! thought that would kill the move so we shall see.

Maybe it is instead of the Chamakh deal so that we are able to play Walcott up top.

All those who watched Theo in the U21's may no be confident in his ability but i watched all the games and he does make good runs but (because of Pearce' "workman like" team) he didnt have a single player with the ability or guile to pick them out. Really hope perce doesnt become england manager he's far to focussed on winning the ball back rather than what to do with it once the team has it! really aweful showing in that tournement!

taking chances is overrated.

henry, RVP, anelka, rooney. all struggle or have struggled with taking chances.

Rubbish, we have Arshavin, RVP, Bendtner, Eduardo, Vela that's more than enough.

put vela to one side.

so we play a front 3. you think those 4 are enough, even though 2 have shown they can break down any moment?

playing with fire.

:goodpost:

Arsene seems keen to add to every position in the squad except Central Midfield which is by far and away our weakest position!

It's unbelievable to be honest...he can't surely be this hellbent on developing his pet projects like Denilson & Diaby?

Why put Vela on one side, he should play more this season after having had one season under his belt.

I think he has something to offer. As I said before if there's a top player like Huntelaar available then fine otherwise I'm happy with what we have to be honest.

Bendtner has improved and will continue to do so, RVP stayed fit last season and hopefully Eduardo is over his injuries.

Vela is an able substitute too IMO, the more games he gets the quicker he'll improve.

im not happy with the idea of hunterlaar being placed directly in front of eduardo. for me eduardo is a better player.... or im not happy with paying big money for a bench player. eitherway.

for someone who thinks weve got enough there, youre not showing much confidence in the troops.

we dont necessarily need an auto-starter but someone who can carry some of burden as insurance against our, lets face it, striking bunch of unprovens and dodgys (due to injury proneness, inconsistency etc)

kalou in particular offers running in behind and can trouble defenders and pin them back with his pace and ability to lach onto through balls. technically, hes very good. off the bench, he has a habit of popping up with key goals.

vela is not good enough yet.

Huntelaar scores goals that's all that matters, if it means it improves us so be it.

I don't want some average Joe to come in I'd rather see Vela who I think has plenty to offer, he's been doing it at International level for a while and did well in Spain.

IMO he is good enough and unless he get's games he won't get better. As for not being happy with the team I am offensively, it's at the back I have issues as top teams are always built on a good defence and our's isn't great.

Not a fan of Kalou he never seems to make much of an impact and does tend to miss a lot of simple chances, not my cup of tea. I don't think he's been much of a success in England either.

I think our forward line is pretty good, we have Creativity, height, a goalscorer and a player with pace in Arshavin/Vela, sounds perfect to me.

well he hasnt been a success in england. I reckon he is the textbook case these highly rated local striker kids are using as the basis to reject chelsea. they must be think "hes better than me and he hasnt even had a run? fuck that"

its laughable how they have developed him into a fully-fledged player.

you call him an average joe but vela would look no better at chelsea, worse even. in fact, I was very unimpressed with vela in the non-carling cup games he played. we simply cant rely on him for anything yet. wouldnt be suprised if hes sent on loan.

huntelaar, for me, would struggle in the premiership. and we need to save our big spending for areas we really need it (DM etc).

anyone else think that the appearance of the Kalou story now is a ploy by Arsenal insiders to put pressure on Bordeaux to come to terms on Chamakh?

(And I'd rather us get Chamakh. Whatever else you might think about Chamakh, he's a like-for-like replacement for Ade and would bring a unique skill set to our strike force. Kalou, however good he would be here, seems pretty redundant in his skills.)

I think the The Sun has just plucked this out the air. (Shock, horror)

We've been linked 2 or 3 times since it emerged we made an enquiry last summer, it's an easy page filler.

could also be to cut short any reluctance from chelsea to do a deal. but more likely what youre saying because it would be a bit harsh of wenger to fuck with this guys head and wenger will be aware of that.

for me, kalou and chamakh are more alike than adebayor/chamakh.

Kalou as target man for the attacking midgets midfielders to play of off? I don't see that tbh.
