its a sad day ed018, wht u think about all this . getting rid of all pir young homegrown talent?
{Ed018's Note - yea it's a bit frustrating, but he was looking for playing time guarantees and Chelsea won't promise that so he chose to move on.}

ed018, i blame this all on agents to be honest. any idea on who we are interested to replace him?
any updates. on any transfers?
thank you.
{Ed018's Note - no I have no idea at this time who will replace him}
13 Jul 2017 23:02:47
Conte should've used him more last season. I low key blame him for this. I'm pretty sure Chalobah will make it big and progress a lot at Watford. I only hope he'll want to come back to Chelsea when he does.

any eds know if we have a buy back clause on Chalobah?
{Ed018's Note - I don't believe there is}

Hopefully we inserted a buy-back clause like we did with Ake and Traore. I think it's even more frustrating that he got a fairly decent amount of games last season for a youngster at Chelsea. Given the Bakayoko is likely an upgrade/ replacement for Matic, and with Fabregas older and us in Europe, Chalobah would have likely gotten even more games and could have pushed for a starting place.
Ed018, you say we'll need another CM, would you expect Baker to maybe take his place or would you possibly expect us buying someone?
{Ed018's Note - I guess Baker is possible but he's been linked with a move this summer as well so I guess we'll see}

I don't think baker is up to the level of first team football at stamford bridge yet he was bang average at the under 21 tourament for england. ed without speculating will chalobah moving on affect the matic move to united or milan or do u expect him to stay.
{Ed018's Note - It sure seems like Matic has one foot out the door. So I'm not sure if there is a way back at this moment}
