Amen - you buy quality.
Chelsea showing us how a £100 million should be spent
They'll figure something out.
If Gomez continues his woeful finishing in front of goal, then that spot is there for the taking.
Hmmm, maybe our definition of "dribbling" differs but, for me, any guy who can take the ball from in his own half up the other end of the field while beating a couple of opponents on a regular basis is a pretty good dribbler. The fact he does it against all opposition pretty much cements the point for me.
Just for the record, after leaving Chelsea Scolari declared that Kalou can dribble round any player in the game with ease. He also commented that he doesn't attempt it in the opponents box which is an interesting point.
Are we talking about a different Kalou here?
Not sure, I'm talking about the one who has 100+ goals and assists in 240 games; heaps of those games were from the bench as well. As a free he's well worth it IMO; he's not Edin but he's streets ahead of anything we've had out wide since Macca left.
I'll qualify that and say he's streets ahead of anything we've had in terms of goals and assists. Kuyt has been exceptional in work rate and drive but not a lot of goals and assists.
He's like yakubu
Shite, but gets results. Something which we need based on this season.

West Brom have held talks with former Schalke and Stuttgart boss Ralf Rangnick as they step up their search to find Roy Hodgson's successor, Press Association Sport understands.
Rangnick, 53, has emerged as the clear favourite to take over from new England head coach Hodgson. But reports that the Baggies have already made a formal offer to Rangnick are premature.
He first met with Albion officials when a guest of the club for the final home Barclays Premier League game of the campaign with Arsenal on May 13. Compensation would not be an issue as Rangnick has been without a club since leaving Schalke eight months ago because of exhaustion.
He nudged ahead of Birmingham boss Chris Hughton after it emerged the npower Championship club were looking for around £2million in compensation.
Blues were also prepared to turn down Albion if they approached asking for permission to speak to Hughton who would then have had to resign to force the issue.
Rangwick had two spells at Schalke, leading them to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2010-11, in addition to a four year stint at Hoffenheim.
Any chance we can namb Gylfi Siggurdsen now that Rodgers is headed our way?
Thoughts on Affellay for £6M?
This story caught my eye from the ArsenalInsider:
One of our team here at Arsenalinsider was told that Walcott was signed, sealed and delivered as a Liverpool player until Kenny Dalglish was axed at Anfield.
Follow instructions Ryan. Thoughts on Affellay for £6M!I hate Walcott.
I hate Walcott.
Yep, he was a boyhood red like a vast number of our other flops. Bullet well and truly dodged.

I'd love Allefay for 6M.
I think Walcott improved a lot last season.
