So...Rajkovic off, Kalas out on loan, Alex angling for Juventus move, Pappoe injured, Magnay needs PL registering. Step in Chalobah.

From Twitter.

I really like this, although if Alex is sold to Juventus, i think AVB will try to buy a cb.

Kalas isn't even officially part of the first team squad, nor does he have a squad number.

Player profiles are supposed to have a actual 'profiles’ btw.

Kalas played another game this weekend (Vitesse won 4:0), he has played 11 games this season so far. Had a solid game.

Do you watch it? Or do you know enough about him to describe his abilities?

When I have time and when I find a stream I watch the games, yes. But as I have limited free time I mostly have to rely on what I find on the internet. What would you like to know about him? Maybe I can try to give you a decent appraisal.

More or less, if he's got enough potential to one day break through. What's his best position too?

Kalas - I want to emulate John Terry

The young defender has impressed during his loan-spell in Netherlands this season, and feels it would be best for his development to stay at the Eredivisie side for another season

Chelsea loanee Tomas Kalas has revealed that he is very likely to stay at Vitesse for another season.

The Czech defender joined the Eredivisie side on a one-year loan deal at the start of the 2011-12 campaign, and has since developed into a key player at the Arnhem side.

The 18-year-old was initially expected to return to his parent club at the end of the season, but Kalas has now stressed that he does not feel ready to make the step up to Chelsea's first team just yet.

"It's important for a young player to get plenty of playing time. At clubs such as Chelsea, Manchester United and Bayern Munich, you don't get much first-team action at my age, but my time will come. I'm convinced of that. I'm only 18 and still have plenty to learn at Vitesse," Kalas said to Goal.com.

"It's 99.9 per cent sure that I will stay here. The parties involved have yet to reach an agreement, but I expect to stay at Vitesse. I know that a new coach will arrive at Chelsea, but I'm very happy here.

"Returning to Chelsea wouldn't make much sense at this point. Other teams from England have also approached me, but the offers I received weren't good enough. I don't think someone should make that step until you're ready for it. I'm not at that point yet."

The centre-back stressed that it's still his dream to succeed at Chelsea, though, and added that he wants to succeed club icon John Terry in the long-term.

"My biggest dream is to return to Chelsea at one point, and to take over John Terry's role at the club. I still have a long way to go, though. I don't want to be exactly like Terry, but it would be great if I could become a first team regular at Chelsea, and even wear the captain armband."

Kalas started his professional career with Sigma Olomouc and joined Chelsea in the summer of 2010

Really wise words from him.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Sounds very matue for an 18yo.

[Azpinator 2,325]

He's a keeper. Don't Borini him!

[Leif 6,006]

Cannot wait to see him in the Europa League next season.

Aside from a few concentration problems this season, he has been outstanding.

[Spike 12,049]

Good lad. In a couple of seasons he will be ready. Maybe another loan in the Netherlands, and a couple of seasons in the Bundesliga would be ideal.

[DavidEU 2,023]

Youngsters Tomas Kalas and Patrick van Aanholt have today completed their loan deals returning them to Dutch club Vitesse Arnhem for the duration of the 2012/13 campaign.

Both players were temporarily with the Eredivisie side last term. Czech Under 21 international Kalas 19, made 29 league appearances over the course of the season, while Dutchman Van Aanholt, 21, scored once in nine games having also spent time with Wigan Athletic during late 2011.

Before departing for Holland, Kalas also signed a contract extension with Chelsea committing him to the club until the summer of 2017.

Hopefully after his loan with Vitesse is done he will go to a PL club. Then we'll see how his development cracks on from there.

[We Hate Scouse 10,286]

I would've rather seen Kalas go to a better/more challenging league. Seems a waste sending him to Vitesse, he has excelled himself there, he needs a new challenge.

Just now it is still right place for him. Next year he will be playing in premierleague for Watfrod under mighty Gianfranco Zola.
