Tears in my eyes Just imagine Chalobah plays for AZ Alkmaar if it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 1 February 2021 Share Posted 1 February 2021 2 minutes ago, Watford Fan said: Absolutely no way is he an attacking midfielder as he mainly sits in front of the back four and breaks play up, Chalobah is not very good with the ball at all and can't pass very well at all every other pass it seems like he concedes possession and he always gets caught on the ball to the frustration of most Watford fans.

Chalobah certainly can't I am not sure he ever has in his career. Edited 1 February 2021 by Watford Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget we are hardly make it beneficial to the clubs, we want a player on loan and don't seem to want to pay anything other than wages.

Can't see Hughes going on the cheap though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 1 February 2021 Share Posted 1 February 2021 4 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: I don't agree with this, everything you describe would be true if Praet weren't injured. However he is and therefore Tielemans and Maddison (whom has had a catalogue of injuries in the last year) now have to play every game until April at the earliest. What happens if one gets injured, you honestly think we can put Chalobah in there? Fine as 3rd choice DCM but if he is having to slot in for Tielemans or Maddison then I think Ulloa's earthquake reading is in jeopardy. I'm about as underwhelmed as you are pal trust me. I just don't imagine we're swimming in options for the reasons given above. We clearly don't actually want to spend any money on this. I'm guessing we think Newcastle have a long term interest in Hamza and that we can get some money out of him going but not yet. I think we've literally got the begging bowl out and this is about the best we can rustle up without paying anything. I'd love it if we got the chequebook out. We all would. But I think the board will consider a quarter final Europa League exit and a 6th place finish to be a successful year given COVID and our injuries and I don't think they're willing to spend to push on and make sure we achieve more. Given we as fans don't know how badly either the club or owners have been hurt by COVID, it's kinda hard to argue with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shen Posted 1 February 2021 Share Posted 1 February 2021 David Brooks looked quite decent at times in the PL. @Finnegan quick, work some Welsh voodoo and transform these Chalobah rumours into Brooks rumours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given we as fans don't know how badly either the club or owners have been hurt by COVID, it's kinda hard to argue with that. All I come back to is we enquired about Eriksen and Odegaard way before we sold Gray. We must have been willing to outlay x in wages for the rest of the season and since then we have got £2-3m for Gray + saved his £50k a week wages for 6 months. There is enough funds to pay a decent loan fee to a club for a player they could afford to leave on loan for half a season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need a defensive midfielder, we need a creative midfielder to ease the burden on Tielemans and Maddison. Goals and assists are required from such a player, certainly more than 1 a season which Chalobah averages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
