Nathaniel Chalobah

I hate Leeds!

What a goal.

Would be pretty funny if the watford keeper got sent off and chalobah had to go in goal.

What a goal! Abdi with a great finish, like a poor man's Luiz vs. Basel. I like Anya, he always looks good when I watch him. 1-1

Chalobah has showed some great defensive work today yet also showed his vision and creativity in attacking positions.

I want Watford to go up and not just because of Chala and Zola, Hull will be terrible in the PL, god knows how their up there, they would be worse than Derby.

Why is United always used as an example? they develop youngsters well? thats an urban myth that is living on from the golden generation.

Nani and Anderson came into England with potential as high as the universe, fast forward 6 years and United fans would be pretty happy to see them out. Fergie has ruined them.

Fergie never played Pogba and got rid of him, genius from someone who supposedly develops youngsters well, he never played and let go a player who United's midfield could have done with. If we let a player of that calibre go without even playing him, everyone on here would be killing the board.

I cannot remember the last time Fergie has thrown a youngster in without PL experience, yet he is a genius but we are killing a young player for wanting them to gain PL experience before we play them.

I just really don't understand why we use United as an example every time we go on about how to develop young players, for every Ronaldo their are many examples like the one's above where Fergie has massively cocked up on young players to a level not even we are capable off.

I was being somewhat sarcastic but okay....

The last player he threw in without PL experience would probably be Nick Powell. Then there's Rafael....maybe Buttner? Then you look around their squad and they've got Smalling (13 PL games before going to United), Jones (a season at Blackburn), De Gea and Fletcher. Next season you'll probably see Wilfred Zaha part of the first-team squad too.

But you have a point that he's living off the reputation of the '92 squad.....although bringing through one of the greatest generation of youngsters ever and letting them form the backbone of your squad for 15 years of fairly constant success does tend to stick in the mind.

Yes Nani and Anderson have failed to live up to expectations - but who will replace them in the squad next season? Cleverley, Zaha and Powell. It's interesting that you bring up Pogba considering he and Chalobah were the two standout performers in the Youth Cup a few years back. We're just lucky Chalobah is under contract.

HT 1-1

I only started watching at 30 minutes(just before their 'keeper came on) but Chalobah did well and Watford responding well to that poor goal to concede.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Cardiff scored, Watford going up atm.

[ja1 1,166]

Cardiff score! As it stands Watford are going through

[ja1 1,166]

Fluff you Hull and Cardiff

They still had PL games tho, Fergie wouldn't have signed him straight from Maidenhead. De Gea had top flight experience, if we credit him for that then Jose should get credit for Cech.

Powell has only played twice so far this season in the league (6 times overall). Josh McEachran got more than that when he was younger than Powell is now. Cleverly was 23 and on the back off a PL loan before Fergie used him.

Yes it does stick to the mind, but say for argument sake Lampard and some mythical world class forward came though at the same time as JT and was the spine for our recent success, would that justify our bad youth record the last decade?

Hull 2-1 up!

[Tomo 21,733]

Fluff you Hull and Cardiff

You can say fuck on this forum

[lucio 5,418]

fuck off hull you dirty pub team. you will get fucked in the premier league and be relegated by christmas. fucking orange cunts.

[Ankit 3,176]

Kevin Keatings said Chalobah was 19 years old in the first half, he now says that he is 18 years in the second half. Top class commentary.

Rafael didn't have PL games. Fabio didn't have PL games. Darron Gibson didn't have PL games. Darren Fletcher didn't have PL games. Zeki Fryers didn't have PL games. Macheda didn't have PL games.

There's a lot of players who got starts for United in the league without going on loan in the PL first. The reason I used United as an example was mainly because I think Chalobah would get a shot at the first-team next season if he was there. I've watched this kid for years and he's impressive on every single level. He's a proper professional and he'd add something to our first-team that we're lacking whilst also setting an example to some of the younger players.

Chalobah is just such a class act. We really have to keep hold of him. He will be ready for us next year but his contract runs out 2014, too.

Idiot Deeney. That was just stupid.
