Tomáš Kalas

[Liquidator 5,176]

Don't want to burst a bubble or anything but didn't he seem pretty adamant he was going to leave earlier in the season?

[bushman 2,043]

Kalas should be able to play with the team next season. This kid is good enough to succeed & should be involved in all cup games, I feel.

Think he was just frustrated. It's funny how much one appearance in a big game can change the situation and if we do end up selling Luiz then he's definitely got a shot at the fourth CB spot. Think it might come down to him and Zouma competing for it in pre-season.

should have featured for us much higher, given that we often had to play iva or luiz at cb hence changing the backline completely, when he just could have come in. People say it is easy for a CB when his team defends with 10 men behind the ball, still he was on his own a few times. I have seldom seen such an athletic defender. He could easily be a decathlete. Not only his leap, but when Stirling ran at him, he had about 1 or 2 yards on Kalas, still Tomas was able to recover at to get first to the ball. Let alone Marvel Wynne, Kalas is one of the fastest CBs I have ever seen.

A month ago Tomas was invited to take part in the most famous and popular Czech talk show with the best Czech comedian, which took place in London. They were mainly talking about the fact that Kalas was not playing at all. Here is a couple of things he mentioned and talked about -

• he does not fully understand why he was sitting in the stands or on the bench in the season. He hoped to go on loan in January but instead he is training with the first team, which is only a good thing for him. Jokes that he is the player everyone is looking at when needed or required something there, something there heh.
• Chelsea does not have a lot of defenders but the truth is that Chelsea has extremely quality defenders
• he wanted to go on loan, there were offers but the club rejected every single one as he was labeled as an important member of the squad - then joking that it must be true because every team needs players for the bench, but he is getting closer and closer to the pitch as before he was only in the stands
• at the start of the season, he was promised 20 games and started joking that he might not make it now. Unfortunately for him, he broke his leg while trying not to concede a goal. And it was not a goal!
• He might be training and not playing until the end of the contract, in 2017. He might write a book while sitting on the bench lol, as suggested by the comedian.
• The last time he played was 28 seconds against Gala, he did not even touch the ball. Was asked how is it possible that only 28 sec, replied that he was supposed to waste time. Even warming up was more difficult than playing lol. Said that 1 minute against Arsenal was a better experience
• Said that something will most probably be done at the end of the season.
• The loan in Holland was great, now he is hoping for a loan in Germany. Jokes that because he is not playing now, he might need to send dvd of his games in Holland to convince other teams
• Said that in the league games he is 19th of the 20 men squad, and in the CL games he is 17th of the 18 men squad. The one behind him is a younger lad, fully enjoying his time there.
• Said that it is up to the young players in question whether they can accept the role - spending time training at a top team like Chelsea or playing in a weaker side. He was very happy to sign for Chelsea as he believed it would help his progress.
• He was asked about the possible move but Kalas interrupted him and was adamant that it must work out for him at Chelsea.
• Then he was asked who is the best player at Chelsea now. He replied that Gary Cahill amongst the defenders and Eden Hazard overall. Kalas said that you cannot beat Eden, simply cannot, he is from a different planet.
• About the 28 seconds on field, the comedian suggested that even him could do the job as they do not need a football player for stuff like this. Kalas responded to this while laughing that maybe, maybe the club does not consider him as a football player
• He was asked about a possible return to the Czech league and his response was - if, then at the very latest of his career no wonder lol

Again, it happened a month ago, meaning before the Liverpool game.

You can watch it here. Those who speak and understand Czech

Petr Cech was also invited, a week before Kalas. I will write the summary later.

Chelsea's Tomas Kalas is ready to come of age as a first-team regular

[Fernando 6,585]

Chelsea defender Tomas Kalas says he dreams of emulating his childhood hero John Terry at Stamford Bridge.

[Styles 9,790]

Didn't really make any mistakes yesterday. He needs to improve on the ball but as a defender he seem reliable.

[Tomo 21,751]

Kalas and Zouma could be a beastly partnership if developed right. We should keep them both next season and give them 15-20 games each.

The only issue is because they ar both so young, we won't be able to play them together much immediately outside of domestic cup's.

[bushman 2,043]

Play them one at a time.

JT may play in tougher games if signed. Zouma & Kalas should be given a chance to play, I hope.

[Special Juan 28,100]

I'm just delighted he not only got two games but also put in a great shift against what is described as 'The best team in the league' by certain pundits.

With all the quality CBs in our squad, it's highly unlikely that both will get 15-20 games next season.

It'll be better if Zouma goes out on loan for one final time and Kalas stays and picks up from the good performances he had this season.

If both play the LC and the early FA games that's a good 9-10 apps in itself if all goes to plan, both can cover at RB which is an added bonus.

I remember in 11-12 Smalling and Jones were young defenders but Fergie managed to challenge for the title and find appropriate game time for the pair, no reason Jose can't do the same.

I'd love to see that but with the lack of game time Kalas got this season, don't see that happening. Also Fergie's side didn't rely,so much, on defensive solidarity like we do. Best if one among them goes out on loan, preferably Zouma IMO.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

Reports linking him to a loan move to either Bundesliga or PL next season. Jose wants him to get more experience and then come back. Kalas seems to prefer Bundesliga, while in the PL, Villa, Hull & Newcastle have expressed an interest to sign him.

I think it's a good idea to loan him out, with Terry re-signing he won't get a lot of chances so it's best to get a loan and get some good experience.
