Amblève.

Holy shit, this thread is becoming hilarious! At first the coherence between his number and his virginity and now this lol

Good luck, agent Sturridge

Now that's a reason lol

It's a bit weird. He has all the required abilities, but his timing when it comes to heading the ball is very poor. He either jumps too early and is unable to put much power into the header or he's too late and can't direct the header properly.

@TorontoChelsea, obvious choice..

Happy new transfer window!

Does anyone else think Mata looks kinda weird without his usual beard?

DrogBa If he becomes one third of the player Big D was for us I'll be a happy man.

He's defo KSI's biggest competitor

1 more goal, mate

I blame Mata's non-existing beard for that poor finish.

Our midfield is being overrun. Completely.

First of all, experience. This a critical aspect, I know, but personally I prefer gaining experience before putting a youngster into the first team. Grittiness (if that's the correct English term for what I want to say) to able to stand his ground when he faces players like Charlie Adam, as well as being more direct. He still likes to try too much when the easier option would be the better one, but that's really only got to do with experience. His fitness and overall physical attributes have to improve, his body is slim, a few more muscles will do wonders for him, just so he's able to dominate.

Well done...

Well, then we have different views.

Will Chalobah really be good enough to compete for a starter spot next year?! I highly doubt it.

Chelsea is one most prolific football clubs in the world right now, the expectations are sky high. Any comparison is pointless, the club as a whole has changed completely during the last 10 years.

Seriously? Do you really want to compare those two sides? Chelsea is a completely different club compared to the one when JT became a first team player. Well, then we have to agree to disagree

There's no rule, yeah. But people tend to only think about football skills. He may appear mature on the pitch but psychologically he still has to gain experience. As I said, the difference between playing for Watford and Chelsea is a huge difference, no matter how you look at it. You'd be an idiot if you'd deny that. Yes, Terry was unprepared and the club took a gamble but that gamble wasn't anywhere near as big as a possible one with Chalobah. I think it's unfair to even compare those two, as the situations are completely different. Chelsea weren't competing for every title by that time JT was introduced, but we are now. That's why Liverpool can afford to play such a young talent. Much less pressure both on him and the club.

Because he has to be prepared carefully to be able to really compete at Chelsea, at the highest level possible. He may be a nice rotational player but seriously, would you really throw a 20-years-old into a CL semi final vs the likes of Barcelona and Bayern? Let him gain experience and playing time the next 2 years and we'll see if he is ready to challenge for a spot in our first-11 then.

Agreed.They are in full race for promotion so Chalobah's already learning what it means to deliver week in, week out which he will only benefit from. If they get promoted let him stay there for another season or two, the step from Championship to PL football is still huge, even for a bright prospect like him. Don't rush the kid's development.

I love his awareness to be in the right places all the time.

You're being a selfish cunt if that's all you think about.

If it's a personal choice why the fuck are you on about this then?
