Popular Post! Sheva. 5,373 Posted June 11, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted June 11, 2014 Hardly anyone ever comes back from loan to start here. Might be the beginning of the end of his Chelsea career. The Mak, Vybz Kartel, Reddish-Blue and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushman 2,043 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 One year & counting. How much is he worth now & next season? Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Who do you think will Mourinho pick as 4th choice CB - Omeruo or Zouma?Zouma I think. We didn't sign him for £12m to start loaning him out again IMO (well I hope not anyway). Looks like our new batch of CBs will be Terry, Cahill, Ivanovic and Zouma. I'm fine with that. 3 solid, experienced heads and one young understudy with huge potential. Sounds good. Viper22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boshman 1,073 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 We know what is going to happen here. He will have a blinding season then get sold next summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Why do people have to be so damn negative all the time?If we'd released Terry to make room for the likes of Kalas and Zouma, the meltdown would have been unimaginable but other than that I fail to see what the club should be doing differently to make enough room for Kalas to have a big enough role so his development won't stall and wasting another season in the stands wouldn't do Tomas any good. Yet loaning him out is somehow still the wrong decision? At least now he will go and play regular first team football at a high level and hopefully return in a year or two when JT is very close to retirement and Ivanovic also well into his 30s.Within a couple of years there will definitely be a place or two up for grabs in the CB department and if these young players make the most of their loan spells I can honestly see them making it. The situation is unlike never before because earlier the youngsters have had to compete with players in their prime and that's not an easy task, especially with managerial instability, but a year or two from now we would ideally still have Mourinho in charge and there would be a smooth transition between generations if the players are good enough. I would also consider this current crop of young players at the club a much better one than say maybe five years ago, so I consider their chances to be a little higher than those of the previous generations. seanptmiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
didierforever 7,349 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Who do you think will Mourinho pick as 4th choice CB - Omeruo or Zouma?obviously zouma. i mean we bought him for 12mil pounds, and he should give us good cover.plus u need 6 "good" defenders ATLEAST in the squad over the season. JT, GC, iva, azpi, luis, zouma is the minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duppy Conqueror 1,537 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Who do you think will Mourinho pick as 4th choice CB - Omeruo or Zouma?Personally i would pick Kenny O..but think Jose will favour Zouma because he was signed on his watch. For it not to be him i expect Kenny would have to be the star player for Nigeria in them getting to the semi's in the World cup and/or a place on the all World cup team, as one of the best CB's in the tournament.I can see the huge potential in Zouma but as they stand today,i'm not a great fan of his yet.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I think Omeruo and Zouma will be asked to fight it out amongst themselves during preseason for the 4th CB spot and the loser goes on loan.Feel Kenneth might win it before that if he has a good world-cup.

lionsden 4,689 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 three more 2y loans and then he will be TOO OLDThe "new John Terry" aka flavour of the month would have emerged by then and like you said Kalas would be too old and irrelevant by transfer muppets standard zolayes and Vybz Kartel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsden 4,689 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Well it's officialChelsea FC @chelseafc 6hDefender Tomas Kalas will spend next season on loan in Germany..Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thendo 1,088 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 What's suprising for me is not him being loaned out but the club destination being Cologne, who have just recently been promoted. I think he could get more experience and is probably capable of doing well in a mid table Bundesliga or PL-club instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vybz Kartel 1,613 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Typical Chelsea always pushing youngstars away without giving them a proper chance, this is the problem of havin a manager like Mourinho who is short term oriented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Who do you think will Mourinho pick as 4th choice CB - Omeruo or Zouma?None.I've said it before - there's pressure on Jose this season and he'll go for experience this time. I have a feeling he will sign Mangala (not that experienced, but a proven defender) after the World Cup and send Zouma and Omeruo on loan.Azpilicueta - Cahill - Mangala - Filipe Luis with Ivanovic (RB, CB), Terry (CB) and Cole/Bertrand/van Aanholt/player X (LB) on the bench.
