en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonaventure_Kalou

1997-2003 - Feyernood - 149 (35)

2003-2005 - Auxerre - 63 (19)

2005-2007 - PSG - 55 (11)

Erm that goal ratio looks pretty dam good from midfield if you ask me :-/

Your lookin at an average of about 9-10 goals a season consistantly at a very high level. In fact, thats a bloody good record

However, it seems that he has now bene converted to a forward. The more I think about it though, I would love to see this lad given a chance
