Wish him to be our Varane this season.

he is a mid so he would be our pogba hopefully. and kalas could be our varane

Nah, i think Kalas might be our Terry, and CLL in the future..Pogba comparison is very much possible

He can operate both as a defender or midfielder,but for me he would be better for central defender,I don't know,I watched few Watford matches this season and he is very strong for his ages,but he can be a great midfildier too,still can't belive he scored such a wonderful goal

Will be interesting to see that if he doesn't go out on loan, will he play at CB or in the middle of the pitch for us?

surely midfield. he has never played a professional game at cb (i think) and we really need a CDM

I hope that Mourinho gives him the chance to play in the midfield.

Personally I've always enjoyed watching him play further forward, but he could very well be a Rio Ferdinand ( ) type presence for us in defence. He's a fantastic ball player and he's physically-gifted so there's a case for him being developed in either position, but right now he offers something to English football that is in short-supply in midfield. A lot might actually depend on the progress of Loftus-Cheek in the long-run too.

His versatility might be what keeps him at the club this season too.

I think he played a couple times there at Watford. Also for England U19/18/17/16 etc.

Yeah, fully agreed. It'd be interesting to see a Chalobah - Luiz partnership IMO.

For me,it would be much interesting to see Terry-Chalobah,teacher and student

I'd like seeing that, but generally you'd see a no-nonsense defender (Vidic or Terry for example) alongside the more forward-thinking one. Having those two would be interesting but I still think his future might be in the middle. Maybe in five year's time we're talking about Loftus-Cheek and Chalobah dominating that midfield, with Luiz and Kalas in defence....a lot of football to be played between now and then though.

I was thinking more long term tbh. Luiz is our best CB (Jose pretty much agrees with me) so he has to play there more often then not.

I think going into this season though our starting CBs will be Terry - Luiz, especially if JT starts off right.

Pretty sure he's going on loan. Steve Holland said 6 will return to England for the America tour and that'll include Chalobah along with Mceachran, Feruz, Wallace, Traore and Piazon.

If he goes on loan and performs well then I'm pretty sure he'll come into the squad for the 2014/15 season to replace Lamps/Essien

Mourinho explained: "Josh McEachran will go on loan and we are thinking of letting Nathaniel Chalobah go for a last season, though he is for sure, a Chelsea player and could be in our squad already.

"Of the others, Lucas Piazon will go out, Wallace will go on too because he has no work permit. And while we'd like to keep Bertrand Traore we know he might not get a permit."

Isn't Chalobah's contract expiring next year or has he already renewed? If not, his contract has to be extended as soon as possible.

I wouldn't worry about that. Both parties want the same thing.

[themightyblue 443]

Good to know that Mourinho really rates him though

The best thing for him would be to go out on loan to a club that needs a player like him and can guarantee him playing time. He is at a crucial time in his development and game time is crucial.
