Chalobah

[JimOG]

Has anyone got news on Chalobah? Sadly like many, I've given up on Kongolo (pity - I saw him playing for Huddersfield and, if fit, he's be our best central defender and a better left back than Robinson or Bryan) but Chalobah is beginning to slip into the same mental category for me. His Brum cameo reminded us what a good player he can be and at 6ft 2ins an ideal DM.
If both these were available I genuinely think we'd win this division by a large margin.
Silva said he's be ready after the international break but I haven't even seen his name on eg an U23 match. Can anyone throw light on this?

Apparently out with a hamstring injury but he seems to have been out of action a long time ....

Perhaps being tall his hamstring isn't long enough. 🤔😃

Thanks - just didn't see this being reported anywhere. I think we'll need him

[MikeTheCubed]

Watford reportedly let us have Chalobah on a free transfer. Perhaps there was a known injury risk.

[JimmyConway]

He is certainly a better centre back than either Robinson or Bryan but better left back? That would mean Robinson & Bryan would be the 2nd & 3rd best left backs in this division!
He can do a job at loft back granted but his not better in that position than Antonee or Joe.

Five summer signings:- Qiuna and Chalobah hardly been seen, Gazzaniga clearly second string to Rodak, Muniz not ready yet, Wilson commanding a regular first team spot.
One success out of five signings, we need to do better as that success rate doesn't keep you in the Premier League.

At the last press conference Silva stated that Chalobah has progressed nicely and will be joining up with the first team squad on Monday,
I expect him to be part of the squad on Friday

Good news

[Stoneleigh Loyalist]

I think that expecting him to be in the squad on Friday  is rather optimistic. Give him another week to get up to fitness.

[Lordedmundo]

I think we will need Chaolobah in the coming weeks and months. I'm not convinced that Seri can play in the winter months and Reed is not in great form at the moment.  I've also seen nothing to suggest that Onomah is going to make a first team spot his own.

[Rodshig]

Is Seri and Kebano heading for the Africa nation cup in Jan?  Hopefully we got enough cover

[Stoneleigh Loyalist]

Only Seri absent for four weeks.

Only Seri absent for four weeks.

There is a big problem looming for the critical midfield trio.
Seri off to the African Nations
Carvalo possible transfer
Cairney not up to regular 90 minutes
Onomah has yet to show form
Reed great but is he going to play 26 games without injury
BDR will possibly be drafted in to replace Carvalho

Perhaps Silva should do some early Christmas shopping with renewed interest in Grimes.

I think Grimes just signed a new contract with Swansea. Would be surprised to see that one happening anymore.

As has been stated (but seemingly ignored) in other threads; we needed back up options/competition in goal and up front, which we got in Gazza and Muniz. Gazza has started a lot of games, and Muniz has already 3 goals to his name despite very limited game time. Wilson has been a success, and Chalobah has hardly been seen only because of injury, which happened after his arrival. Only Quina a miss so far, and that is only a loan. Seem like a pretty good window to me unless you do your best to put a negative spin on things.

Think Chalobah will become a key player as the season progresses

[The Rock]

Seems to be right up there with Mawson and Onomah. He'll play 5-6 matches this season and about the right amount. Hope to be proven wrong; he is pretty highly rated by some.

[Whitesideup]

Think Chalobah will become a key player as the season progresses

Think we needed something a bit different against Preston and he might be the type of player. Also losing Seri for 4-6 weeks (plus possible recovery time?) so I too am hoping he gets fit and at his best soon.

The hard fact is that last season's players plus Wilson are the ones winning the promotion points for us.
