Kakuta flop seeking a return in France

Kakuta is now trying to get picked up by a ligue 1 club, saying that he loves multiples clubs and Marseille especially.

I think we all remember how Chelsea tapped him up so young as he was described as a phenomenon and a future star. He flopped very hard at Chelsea and in all the folloowing clubs he was loaned to. And now he is saying that he would like to come back in ligue 1 (his last loan was already in L1) and that would be a good step for him.

He is typically the player who lost 3-4 years of his football career by going abroad way too soon. He would have developped well in France, and now, who know if he will ever fullfill his potential.

Recently we have several of these players coming back in France. Gilles Sunu from Arsenal, Jeremie Aliadière , Sinama Pongolle were ammong these players, which were touted as futur stars too young and left France.

I guess Paul Pogba and Gabriel Obertan are the next one on the list.

Lukaku better wake up and smell the coffee, too

Lukaku is not french but it is the same case yes. A player should not leave too soon, it can really damage its career.

All these younger players, if they aren't guaranteed at least a sub role, they shouldn't move imo.

It must be difficult for them to turn these moves down, though.

Bigger club, bigger wages. You must also fancy your chances of making an instant impression, I mean, why not have the belief?

But yeah, reality can hit hard. Chelsea have only Torres and Sturridge up front and Lukaku gets loaned out? Probably feels like a slap in the face. Lukaku's price tag will remaing biggish for a couple more seasons, he has got that much time to prove himself to be worthy of a Chelsea striker role or then probably face a fate similar to Kakuta's. Which is a shame.

Again one of the reasons why I rate people like Neymar and Hazard.

Stay until you have largely developed your game, too many of these players move before they've even found their feet in football.

Kakuta could not deal with PL at all, I remember in one game where he got a bad tackle, flipped 270 degrees and was basically scared off the pitch from then on until he was subbed.

Chelsea risked getting banned from the transfer window for him.


lol

Hes a reject from Chelsea. What you guys expected?

Ermm.. Gabriel Obertan??

Ancelotti ruined his career sadly. Awful manager.

Finally he is sent packing to Anheim

Why did he not go back to France instead

He's on huge wages Gunner. Like 35k or something.

Another talent ruined...

'Fake' Chelsea footballer jailed for posing as Gael Kakuta

A failed footballer who posed as a Chelsea star to live a Premier League lifestyle has been jailed.

Manchester Crown Court heard Medi Abalimba went on a £20,000 shopping spree at Selfridges, stayed at top hotels and even hired a helicopter.

Medi Abalimba, 25, of Burton Street, London, admitted multiple frauds and was sentenced to four years.

Abalimba phoned venues claiming to be the agent of Chelsea winger Gael Kakuta before turning up posing as the player.

The court was told he would ring a venue advising of the imminent arrival of an elite sport star, requesting discretion and paying for goods with stolen credit card details.

In June 2014, he visited a Manchester nightclub and ordered £2,600 worth of champagne while claiming he left his wallet in a limousine.

'Football skills'

He pre-paid more than £2,000 using stolen credit card details telling staff he would return next day, which he did, ordering more champagne and leaving in a chauffeur-driven Bentley GT.

In July, he ordered more than £20,000 worth of clothes in Selfridges in the Trafford Centre, even displaying his football skills while shopping but store detectives were suspicious.

In all he stole designer clothes, stayed at expensive hotels, dined at fine restaurants and even took four women from Manchester to London in a helicopter.

Greater Manchester Police tracked him down to a £800-a-night rented mansion in Berkshire.

Sgt Adam Cronshaw of GMP, said Abalimba was "charming and charismatic" and could call on his previous football experience and "some resemblance to the real Gael Kakuta to deceive his victims".

He added: "Abalimba told us that many of his victims treated him so differently because they thought he was a celebrity footballer."

The player had stints with Derby, Oldham Athletic, Southend United, Fulham and Crystal Palace and once commanded a transfer fee of more than £1m.

He admitted 12 offences of fraud and dishonesty, in London, West Yorkshire, Manchester and Derby and asked for 19 offences to be considered.

Gael Kakuta, 23, joined Spanish team Rayo Vallecano on loan for the 2014/15 season.
