14. Trevoh Chalobah

[Special Juan 27,104]

Was Huddersfield quality a few seasons ago whilst on loan and remains that way. If you think this lad possess enough quality for us your deluded. Championship level players at best

[MoroccanBlue 5,200]

Jesus mugged him off really bad the other day. 

That said, 90% of the team have been awful this preseason so we just have to wait and see if there is improvement once they are back in England. 

[Fernando 6,376]

We tend to be a hit and miss in pre season so I don't pay much attention to it.

New contract to 2028, with club option to 2029.

[Magic Lamps 11,452]

Good news. Has made strides forward this season - the only one to do so. But most importantly, the lad bleeds blue . We need more players like him as opposed to the wussies we signed for big money . 

[Stats 6,982]

2nd contract extension within the space of a year. Proof of how far progress he has made here. Hard work pays off.

The one thing he's definitely proven is he's capable of playing in a back 4 which was definitely a question mark before this season.

Whether long term he's good enough to be part of a first choice pairing remains to be seen but he's shown more than enough to at the very least be a reliable and capable player in the squad for the long term who as you mentioned comes with the other niceties such as home grown, academy. 

I think Silva's experience still helps a lot currently which is completely understandable, but I would quite like to see at some stage how him and Fofana would fare in a back 4 and if playing two athletic and mobile centre backs would help to play a higher line and push the whole team as a unit 10-15 yards further forward.

Trev is a tough player to asses, what is clear he is not good enough to be your #1. But he does have versatility and solid player. He is also an academy player.

With a very good offer say 25-30m i would sell, but i wouldn't sell just for the sake of selling.

[Special Juan 27,104]

If your getting offered 25-30M for Chalobah you snap the fuckers hands off

that final was one of the worst losses for me to take ever

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

we have been so utterly shit in domestic cup finals for ages, after being a true force for years

FA Cup from 1996/1997 

(fucking Arsenal, grrrr, if we had handled them we would have been 10 wins, no losses from 1996/1997 to 2019/2020)

 

EFL Cup since 1996/197

Wins

Losses

 

FA Community Shield (since 1996/1997)

Wins

Losses

Trevoh Chalobah's aide banned from Chelsea as new details emerge - 'someone can't be trusted,' says pundit

https://www.footballinsider247.com/trevoh-chalobahs-aide-banned-from-Chelsea-as-new-details-emerge-someone-cant-be-trusted-says-pundit/

Trevoh Chalobah’s personal trainer will never be allowed back inside Chelsea after his private messages were leaked online.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, former Tottenham and Aston Villa defender Alan Hutton couldn’t believe the private criticism was allowed to get out into the public domain.

As shared by the Daily Mail (19 September), Ed Hodge, who works closely with Chalobah branded the Blues’ injury crisis “an absolute mess” in a now deleted Twitter post which shared screenshots of the direct messages sent by Hodge.

He also criticised the type of training at Stamford Bridge citing it as the reason for all their injury issues.

Summer signings Moises Caicedo, Romeo Lavia and Christopher Nkunku are currently absent with Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile and Carney Chukwuemeka all still on the treatment table.

Hutton urged fans not to read too much into the comments but couldn’t believe they were able to be aired so publicly.

“It is just his opinion,” he told Football Insider.

“I can be in a squad and think we haven’t done enough of something or the sports scientist can be telling you you need to do more running or the manager deciding that you have done.

“My biggest issue is how has that got out? If you are having a private conversation between friends, how has that got into the public domain? Obviously somebody can’t be trusted.

“Everybody has their own opinion and you just have to be careful who you share it with. He might be in and around the club all the time and this is just his own opinion, the problem is he won’t be allowed in the club anymore.“

There is some toxicity in and around the club still. 

 

That needs to be aired, gotten rid of before we go on to winning football and enjoying life again as fans.

There is always toxicity inside the locker room. Out of 25 or so players, we've got more today, some play and some do not. The ones who don't play, who don't get minutes, are never really happy.

It's up to the the manager and coaches to keep everyone engaged and "wanting."  Player's agents? just ignore them.

A lot more than getting rid of a few unhappy players separate us from having a winning side.
