coolhead23 1,147 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 State of affairs at Chelsea: We are buying a 22 yr old potential for 40 something millions while we sold off another 22 yr potential for 5m. ... And then we blame our players to remain at the Bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadget 126 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Saving grace is the buy back clause. Hope Nate smashes it and comes home in a year or two, he's still a Chelsea boy at heart but speaks volumes to turn down money to play and progress his career. Best of luck blueblood22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Nathaniel Chalobah was never going to be a world class player. But he is young, homegrown, Chelsea through and through, and I would much rather have we had kept him and sold Matic. I understand his desire to leave, with my blue-tinted-glasses off, that is undoubtedly the right career move for him. But I'm furious our board and management did not do more to try to keep him here. It's a huge shame, but I wish him the best of luck. Strike and the wes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope so. sad to see him leave, especially if we have to keep Matic now. Also sad that we could not keep an average player here even with outrageous wages as he is homegrown, from our academy even. Need to buy another midfielder now for sure.

Leif 6,006 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I doubt we'll use him, but, Pasalic is in our squad, and in the past 2 years been a solid squad player for 2 top-ish teams. I can't imagine Chalobah being useful for Milan or Monaco (he was useless for Napoli.) They're the same age, no less. He (Chalobah) offers a bit of everything, but just a bit isn't near enough. Under patient guidance, Pasalic would be one of the higher goalscoring midfielders in the league. One offers something most players in his position can't, the other doesn't.

Georgy 439 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Shame one of the only few players I thought could break through in our 1st team. From what I understood he was entering his final year, so it's obvious why the club decided to sell him so cheap. I refuse to believe there is no buy back clause considering Conte was praising him. All the best to him. blueblood22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Well I'm happy because we have buy back clause and sell on clause. Now let him play with out any troubles at Watford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't be serious considering both on the same level already. What level are u referring to, u mentioning the French League as it is one of the bet in the world ... And like i said potential which he is ...but one good season doesnt make u world class. And on the CL team of the season, doesnt that change with every season except for a few permanent players who are truly world class. Matic was the best in the PL 2 season ago and we want him gone today!!! As i said had Chalobah got the same opportunity we would had been talking about him in the breath as Bakayoko.

the wes 7,212 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I don't know why some lads on this forum who rated Chalobah so highly he was never going to break into chelsea 1st 11 he was always going to be seen has a squad player this is a guy who struggled to break in Burnley 1st 11 team and a napoli team but I do wish him luck at Watford RoyalBlues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
