Mr. Ziggles 110 Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 That is how I've been pronouncing it. I'm glad I'm on the ball. Sir Trollington I hope that signature of yours doesn't bite us on the arse after the 20th.I really hope so too. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Madmax 9,219 Posted May 6, 2012 Popular Post! Share Posted May 6, 2012 He has very very impressive technique. He's not like JT - not a typical English "kick it into row Z" centre-back.This is incorrect. JT has immense technique for a centre back.For instance, his long passing is delightful, with either foot. He doesn't bring this out of his locker very often but when he does, it's very effective. A background of starting out as a midfielder has stood him in good stead in this regard.

I guess I was just stereotyping what the British people/media look out for in central defenders lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capriccioso 2,545 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Being an avid watcher of Chelsea TV, I think it's pronounced "Cha - low- bah"That's how I pronounce it as well. Mr. Ziggles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 A goal last night for him vs. Slovenia U19's. (The opening goal.)Todd Kane also got 1, while I believe the other 2 scorers were Manchester United boys.Highlights - http://www.thefa.com...0-slovenia-u19s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Departures of Essien and in time Raul will help this lad get some first team action soon.I actually like him more at CB. I feel he looks more comfortable there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for some reason I am very optimistic about Nathaniel. I think he has the skill and the right attitude to make it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Traveler 256 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I just saw him 2 or 4 time playing, and he looked quite an apt lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,142 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Out of our youth, Chalobah is the one I am looking forward to see progress to the first team the most. He is the youngest representative for the England U19 at the championships and is a permanent starter in the team and scored against Croatia today. He has been playing above his age groups for club and country for some time now and truly believe he is going to follow Terry in being a rock at the back, even though he can excel as a DM/CM. Maybe he will be captain one day but although I am excited for the likes of Piazon, Feruz etc Chalobah has been at Chelsea his whole career. His anticipation, balance, possesion of the ball is world class. He has been playing with our reserves even at schoolboy ages and has always put in a shift. Would be brilliant to see him make an appearance soon, even if it is a brief apperance in a cup game but he deserves it.Will be interesting to see what RDM does with him. He will learn at Chelsea but he trains with the first team quite often and maybe a loan to a Championship team would do him good as experiencing first team football will enhance his game. He is playing for his country 2 years above his age group and is a consistent performer, even though being the youngest there. It is a matter of time that he starts pressing for the first team because his reserve/youth team plays have been astonishing. IMO he is going to surpass Mceachran at Chelsea. But just for anyone who is unsure of him we have a star in the making at us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just for anyone who is unsure of him we have a star in the making at us Easy lad, easy. We've seen the consequences of us overhyping our youth talent, with some albeit justification. Let's just wait and see how he develops, he's still ripe at the tender age of 16 (or 17). I share you sentiments about his qualities though. The problem is the leap from doing that at a reserve/youth level to a professional one. Patience is key, we've learnt that better than most fans.

That wasnt a dig at Josh but just feel Chalobah has the pyhsical skills to go along with his all round general play which could be benefical in future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Chelsea boss Roberto di Matteo is ready to let brilliant young centre half Nathaniel Chalobah go out on loan to the Championship.http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/chelsea-nathaniel-chalobah-will-be-loaned-to-championship-1138822Could be b.s. But if it's not then it's quite positive, considering he's only 17. Stats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I don't know if we should. He's still only 17 and with the changes to the youth and reserve games and the u18 CL tournament, I'm sure he'll get a lot of good games. And, I think he's still eligible for the youth cup.All of that > championship imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, I think he's still eligible for the youth cup.All of that > championship imo.That depends on how much conviction the FA really put on the development of youth -> reserve -> professional level. At least with the Championship he's guaranteed to have a step-up in the intensity of play. Obviously he wouldn't play that many games, but when he does the exposure will be brilliant. The best thing is, we won't expect he'll play that much so when he does it'll be a pleasant surprise. He'll still represent England, but I guess it's a slight disadvantage we'd lose him in our FA Youth Cup squad. The experience could be priceless however. We know Bertrand benefited greatly from it, he has over 150+ championship level games to his name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
