22mek22 133 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 It may seem pretty premature, but I've seen him in many youth/reserve games and at the U17 World Cup he has been fantastic.He plays as a CB, is comfortable on the ball, strong in the air (scored a header) and a great tackler.He is also good with the ball at his feet and many people have tipped him to be the new John Terry/future Chelsea captain.I hope that he gets a chance next season, in my opinion he is as good as Bruma (now at HSV) and hopefully AvB will see this, especially with Holland as a coach.Even if he gets a few, just in the cup.A real future Chelsea captain, leader and legend.

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 It's far too early to promote Chalobah.I'm a huge fan of him. I think he has the making to be even better than Phil Jones will be, however we must be patient. He's still 16 and we have time to properly bring him up as we're doing with McEachran.

Billy. 2,742 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Spoiler for U17 game i just went a little nuts when hes pen went in, it was a England and Chelsea shoot out win LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OReillyD36 311 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Theres no reason he can't be on the bench for a cup game provided we play lower league opposition, he was on the bench for our carling cup game against newcastle last year. As far as I know he does train with the first team already. Be it now or in a few years time, looking forward to seeing him make his debut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duppy Conqueror 1,557 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 because he has shown himself capable in a few positions FB,CB,DM..i hope that he isn`t used as a utility player but is given one position to be groomed into properly..i think that was something we should have done with Cork and Mancienne..but we have hopefully learnt from that mistake. i would say that position should be CB but then that would probably mean that he would have to be patient and wait perhaps a year or two. as for me the hardest positions for a young player to take the leap into the pros in is CB and DM. i guess he could see some action in the LC,as a sub..a few minutes here and there against lesser teams.... with us being able to name 7 subs these days i don`t see why we couldn`t use say atleast two of those sports with our young ,yet to be established players..Josh would take one spot but the other one could be used by one from a list of a few...mainly being Billy Clifford,Kakuta,Conor Clifford,Chalobah,Lalkovic.. (i`m counting Sturridge as an established player) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 There is no way we will promoting Chalobah to the first team anytime soon. He is getting fantastic experience playing in the U18's and Reserves way ahead of his time and he is not ready for the first team at all yet. Fantastic prospect 100% but lets let him develop and grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChelseaFanMKD 41 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Chelsea future unless we sell him which would be a very big mistake. He is very talented for his years, watched him at the U17 WC, bright future for him for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest justin_3d Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I remember Carlo had him on the bench in one game.Def. should be getting some time in the coming seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liquidator 5,176 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 He needs to maybe bulk up a bit yet. however, I watched him in the 1st leg of the Youth Cup semi final vs Webbchester United and he impressed more than McEachran did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warnie_666 1,081 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 He is just 16. He will bulk up afterall not all 16yr olds are like Lukaku Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambo 1,729 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Promote him before or after he joins Hamburg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 He is very exciting as far as prospects go but i wouldnt be promoting him to the first team just yet. Get him in the team for the Carling Cup and give him some experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domino- 116 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I watched several of his matches, but I did not make any impression. Rather, I am impressed by Carl MagneyAnd I think it far-fetched to believe that Nathaniel Chalobah will be captain and heir of John Terry.
