He's been one of our best players in the Europa this season and one of the big reasons we are closing in on the Final.
Definitely one of our better signings in recent years when you consider what we paid. Still needs to work on areas of his game such as decision making but he has fast become an important and very useful squad member.

Thats harsh. He's been better than I thought he would be. Always rated him from his time at Wigan but I wasnt sure he could make the step up to Chelsea.
In general he's done as well as could have been expected. Maybe he hasnt set the world alight this season in the PL but we could say the same thing about Oscar.
9 goals 4 assists in around 25 starts
Not been a bad signing at all given what we paid
Kalou mark II.
Slightly faster and stronger, but still has inconsistancy and decision making problems.

Agreed. Consider what we paid I think we got a potential bargain.
Maybe he wont ever be anything more than a very useful and well used squad player but there's nothing wrong with that.
Football is a squad game and good squad players are a vital part if that.
He’s a bit hit and miss really, can look dangerous at time and woeful at others. What I do like though is he offers something a little different to the others, Mata, Hazard and Oscar are all streets ahead in terms of technique but Moses is that bit more direct, he’ll get his head down and has decent power and pace and isn’t afraid to take players on, if anything he tries to beat the same player too often trying to turn them inside out.
With the exception of Hazard none of our others players in those positions have particularly good out and out pace, even Hazard isn’t lighting, it’s his acceleration and quick feet that gives him the advantage. Moses is a good player to call upon tactically against the right opponent or towards the end of a game when tired legs are setting in and the manger is looking to stretch the game.
He is still very young so we mustn’t forget that, also he needs to adapt with each step up in standard he makes from Palace to Wigan and now to Chelsea. I’m not sure he’ll ever nail down a place for us but a good player to have in the squad.
I remember his last game against us for Wigan and he really gave our defenders the run-around, when on song he is a threat.
Well see you next week we'll see you next weeeek victor mlses we'll see you next week
as others have said above, he is a good squad player to have. I like him, also seems commited.

I think he is our worst player. His last goal bounced of his face!

It's called heading

The ball never seems to "bounce" of torres head.

I think it will be a touch unfair if we go and sign Schurrle/Falcao and Moses finds himself unable to get a game but I guess that's football.
----------------------------------------------------
Bringing in Falcao would make no difference to whether or not Moses plays.
Schurrle would make a difference but when you consider that Marin is likely to be shown the door this summer it might not make that much difference to Moses.
Also if Oscar is moved into central midfield next season as some of us suspect then it would still mean plenty of gametime for Moses.

Moses is average anyway, I think the comparison between Kalou and him is a good one

I'm not convinced we will play 2 strikers together next season. How often do we ever play Torres and Ba together up front ?
Once or maybe twice and that was only for part of the game when we needed to score.
It's more likely that we will have Ba and probably Falcao as our 2 strikers next season and we will continue to play 1 striker up front in any given game.
By the way I'm not saying we shouldn't play 2 strikers together.
I've always been a fan of that, especially for certain games but we just don't seem to do that.
I can't remember the last time we regularly played two strikers together.
Maybe Drogba and Anelka although not sure that really counts as Anelka was playing wide.
Before that Drogba and Shevchenko maybe.
