Hard to judge until we see him in a Chelsea shirt though.
 

I mean I doubt many people thought we would see Trevor Chalobah playing for the first team after his loans, but he has gotten a chance and taken it.

Has he tho? Have not seen him for quite a while

i guess he will be here next season for the mere lack of options but if he really is good enough we are only about to find out

We just have to see.

Tuchel has given Ruben and Trevor a chance here when many expected they wouldn’t get one. Its tough to say he isn’t going to look at some other lads who looked like they may be on the verge of leaving/not featuring that are on loan and give them that same opportunity.

I mean there is nothing to say he wont use someone like Dujon as a squad player and prioritise strengthening key positions where we are set to lose players ie. CB.

For once we get to take the first shot in a pen shootout and he already surrendered his advantage on the 2nd

Not a fitting end for a great servant but end it sooner than later

Needs to leave before his reputation is tarnished any further. 
 

Jesus Christ the past few weeks for him have been horrendous.

I think this is a goodbye

one of the best buys we ever made but its better to go. 

next season maybe we would be worst than that

Signing another two year contract 

Up yours Barca

Out of all the potential outgoings, I'm most pleased to see him remain. A Milner type role would be perfect.

[NikkiCFC 8,286]

Can't believe we extended his contract 🤣🤣

Oh, Dave.. So good to have you around for two more years..

 

When you joined, I was 19, just finished high school, Chelsea just won CL for the first time, everything was perfect. Lot has happened since that, we both had our ups and downs.

Maybe you are not the first name in the starting eleven anymore, but you are the one who made it to the team for numerous managers in countless positions. You are the last player who played alongside Lampard, Terty, Cech, Drogba, Hazard, Ivanovic.. many great memories, lot more to come.

 

Perhaps we could replace you with better player for reasonable price, but when I see you on the pitch I will always recall all the good memories..

No brainer for me.

It's not about getting someone to replace him - we already have that for both rb and cb - the issue is how to get a better squad player than him. Folks downplay how hard it is to get someone who delivers at this level. He's also super versatile, which is just another bonus.

Now, evidently he will not start games as often and be prepared to see him struggle a bit early season esp. Thought he still had pretty good games last season, just needed a bit more time to get going, which is normal for footballers past 30.
