Mufassir08 2,400 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Loans are so hit and miss, it annoys me that Nat played so well for Watford yet we decided to loan him back to another Championship club, last season he should have been playing in the PL... I guarantee if we had Sterling or Shaw in our youth academy they would still to this day be forced out on loan to any old Championship club. Exactly,I am personally not a huge fan of loaning players multiple times.If a player does as well as Chalobah did for Watford you give him a chance at your club or else he'll just lose heart and lose his focus and desire.We really need to grow some balls and give the likes of MVG,Romeu,Nat,Ake some chances this season. zolayes and bababoom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst part, is that we could all tell that Forest was the wrong loan for him. It was so obvious. He wanted to go back to Watford where he already knew the players and fit in well, but the club sent him to Forrest because they offered to pay 10k/wk more of his wages! bababoom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only place to be 11,313 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Really curious as to what Jose's playing at with Chalobah. Omeruo has already had his loan to Boro confirmed, so you'd assume Nat isn't going there but he's got very little time in midfield so far and has been used in defence primarily but with Zouma being given the 5 shirt you'd have thought he would be ahead of him in that pecking order.Worst case scenario is that we delay loaning him like we did last season and he ends up in the wrong place again. It's frustrating seeing Romeu selected in that DM spot as well, although that's partly down to us not having enough defenders for the first couple of games. Fingers crossed he gets 45 minutes in the next game with Cesc likely to only get the first-half.But then you have the problem of Mikel and Ramires coming back.

didierforever 7,349 Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 "Problem" of mikel and ramires????? Problem!!! Really!!! So we should sell rambo, romeu, mvg so that poor nat can get his chance. He is not been plaued in the mid cos we have ATLEAST 6 better players than him and that is without includong ake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus. He meant problem as in being behind them in the pecking order, and that they haven't had their own pre season chances to prove themselves and their fitness to Mourinho. So naturally they'll almost definitely be picked over him. Pre season is a chance to prove yourself. He should've been given a chance in the midfield before these players came back but Mourinho evidently doesn't see a future for him there.

Simple cos he is not good enough. Pre season is about FITNESS of the players. Producing what's been practised in the training. The only reason we are playing these youth players is cos we dint have many first teaners around. Its BARELY about a chance cos believe me, jose's mind would have been nade up long before the pre season started about what his squad would have been. Dont think a couple of friendlies would change him. Take zouma for example. He has been poor in the last 2 ganes but I am willing to put everything on a bet that he is a chelsea player regardless of what happens in the pre season.

His lack of development and progress over the last 3/4 years has been staggeringly bad. Getting rid of him and Torres is going to be a challenge to say the least...

But he deserves another loan to try and prove himself, if nothing else because of the potential he showed at Watford. I guess you can look at pre season in either of our ways, but like someone can play themselves into or out of a team during the season, players can play themselves into or out of the team during pre season too. For instance, I think Boga may well get some cup game time his season if he sticks around with the U21s, it'll give us a chance to rest Hazard or Oscar which we didn't have the luxury of doing last season. I do think Jose's mind would have been mostly made up, but he still has choice to make - Fabregas or Oscar at no.10? Willian or Schurrle opposite Hazard? MVG, Fabregas or Ramires at CM? Romeu, Mikel or Chalobah as reserve DM? Zouma good enough for 3rd CB or do we need to sign another? Azpi or Ivan at RB? Cech or Courtois in goal? Bertrand or Ake as reserve LB? Loan Boga or keep him in the U21s with the odd cup game?We might have our own opinions on answers to these questions but I think the pre season is a good time for Mourinho to objectively make his decisions, and let's be honest, they're the ones that matter.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Going on loan again. Shame because he's a massive talent but obviously the club don't think he's ready.

The guy needs to start looking at his own career and really start making his mark but it needs to be at the right club.It is somewhat irksome that the unflushable Mikel is still going to be on the payroll next year purely because no team who could potentially pay his wages would waste that much money on him. Romeu could kick on but needs to be tested against better opposition.Nat's problem is that he has Loftus-Cheek coming through as well now who is a similar type of player with just as much potential, and Van Ginkel just ahead of him. On the one hand it's a nice problem to have but it's just one more kick in the bollocks for anyone who bothers to take an interest in the youth teams.

Styles 9,790 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I think this is the start of the slow realisation that Chalobah isn't good enough and/or won't be a Chelsea player in 2-3 years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it's up to him to make the most of whatever opportunities he gets after that. Mufassir08 and Muzchap 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea blue 615 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Jose Mourinho has confirmed that a number of Chelsea youngsters will leave the club on loan this summer, including highly-rated duo Patrick Bamford and Nathaniel Chalobah and midfielder John Swift.

Stats 7,144 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I think he's better CB than Zouma definitely...but he'll be sold eventualy...He is a better ball playing defender, that is it. Zouma is better at almost everything else. You can't really come to conclusions like that when Zouma has been playing for a decent team in France top tier for around 3 seasons and Chalobah has played CB rarely. Mainly in friendlies. Out on loan he has figured in midfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
