Well Mourinho certainly thought he was ready, so what you or I feel is moot.

Anyway this'll just keep going around in circles like the Mourinho thread so let's end it here.

No, what matter is what actually happened and we all saw not what was said a year and half ago. Jose said he was ready which is very different from thinking he was ready which in retrospective he obviously was not.

So you're saying Mourinho lied through his teeth? Okay then.

Hes a good player but I can't believe Jose thought he'd be ready after one season on loan last year.

Hes not at Chelsea quality yet and he still needs another loan spell where he will play at least 60 or 70% of the games as opposed to sitting on the bench at a club that will get relegated then needs to have his situation re-evaluated again. I'd rather have seen him playing at a club like Watford again or Reading or Cardiff - someone who's challenging for promotion or even just a mid table club as opposed to trying to avoid relegation in the PL which usually prompts managers to go for more experienced players.

Does anyone know exactly what's going to happen with Nat? I feel like (and hope) he should stay and train with the first team. He would make a brilliant Matic understudy.

Not sure tbh, if he couldn't break into that abysmal Burnley team something is clearly a miss right now.

Doesn't matter really, I've seen plenty of examples of individuals just not being in the right environment to shine.

Recent examples? Harry Kane, Ryan Mason at Tottenham. Ross Barkley, our own Bertrand all weren't that impressive during some of their loan spells. It happens.

Chalobah IMO has shown enough to warrant a chance to be part of the first team squad.

Choulo is of the opinion that Chalobah's loan spell at Watford was very overrated but almost every single Watford fan I know, and my self included, rates the kid very highly and I personally truly believe that after watching him come up the youth ranks and his loan spell at Watford and Boro to a certain extent where he was pretty decent as well - all the kid needs is a chance here.

I think it's overrated not because he didn't have an incredible spell for his age, but because people were saying that he was already better than Mikel and Ramires and should be in the England squad for the 2014 WC! (Good ol' Blue Daze! :D).

In fact, go back in this very same thread, and you can see that I was one the people most excited about this, always reporting on the games I watch and going to watford forums to find what their fans are saying about Nathanial and post it here.

Whenever I see Chalobah's name being mentioned, I keep thinking of a comparison to Jack Cork

Solid English player, represented the national side up to U-21's, did well on multiple loan spells, couldn't break into Chelsea's first team and eventually earned a move to Southampton

I just get the feeling Chalobah may be sold sooner rather than later
