They're allowance to play lawn bowls was revoked when Owen Hargreaves blew out his knee when kneeling down to release a ball.

just watched u21's England v italy. Chalobah came on after 60 mins and looked a class above the rest of the england team. Henderson and shelvey shouldn't be starting ahead of him.

I fully expect him to start the next game, Italy ran rings around England in that game and Pearce said afterward we were awful. 

Pearce must have some dirt on someone in the FA, the man is clueless.

I know its not up to pearce to improve and develop players as such, but hes setting us up to play long ball tactics, which considering the technical players he had at his disposal, is a disgrace.

surely a midfield trio of chalobah Henderson and mceachran could have at least put us in the game. fox and shelvey were awful, and I think were lacking a decent striker prospect, ive not seen Wickham have a good game.

I think Chalobah and Zaha were on the bench because they played in the playoff final recently. At least that's what they said on the radio

starts against norway

Granted the entire team has played bad, but Chalobah has been poor overall. No pace on the ball, poor positioning and a general lack of effort. 

Scored a nice solo effort whilst training with the Under 21's

Seen this on Twiiter,nice to score infront of Woy aswell.

Hell of a nutmug he did there with the roll of the ball.

just been stretchered off after having his knee stamped on. looks serious. hope its not as bad as it looks.

In what match?

U21 England vs Scotland.

 

Finished 6-0 but its a nasty looking injury for Chalobah.

he has since tweeted that it's not as bad as it looked, and thanks for all the kind messages 

Is there any news or speculation on where he'll be spending the season?  

Not yet but we'd better get him tied to a new deal before he goes anywhere on loan.

I thought he recently signed a new deal. Maybe his injury from the England u21's is affecting a loan?

No, he's into the last year of his deal afaik.

Natey signs new 5-year deal, music to my ears.

Excellent news.

 

Huge talent. 

Question now is who does he spend this year on loan with? There was talk of Crystal Palace earlier on this Summer but seems as though that's gone cold.

Might still happen, pretty good at nurturing young talent at Palace, they've bought through Moses, Zaha and Nathaniel Clyne to name a couple in recent seasons. 

Great news, he could stay at the club as 4th choice centre back and utility midfielder but I`m not sure how much game time he will get really. Would prefer him to go to somewhere that wont be fighting relegation really, not sure who. Perhaps Norwich or Southampton.
