BlueLion. 21,491 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Andre made an excellent point in his pre-match press conference yesterday = Josh's playing time has been limited because of the options we have and the relative clean bill of health amongst players; Essien aside. I am certain he will be loaned in January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Blues 11 19 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Josh needs to play somewhere, whether at Chelsea or on loan, because that will benefit both player and club. I hope he can get a run in the CL and the league cup. His youth and potential is enormous and he needs to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave30 728 Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 roumers he will be going to Swansea City in january . they play good football so it would be a clever choice in my opinion . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Villas-Boas said: "He's not had much action compared to last year. It's difficult. As we spoke about, playing time has been spread about evenly but a couple of players still fall short on that front."He has fallen short compared to last year, and there are more numbers in midfield. We didn't have as many competing in midfield last year, so Josh had more chances to be in the team."He has the talent to play, but it's a question of choice. I've just been choosing others. But that doesn't mean Josh's future wouldn't be at Chelsea. It will be. He could benefit like Daniel (Sturridge) did by going on loan, but we have to see. I think he can perform at that level."Source: http://www.talksport...ve-chelsea-loanI don't quite understand how he can compare last year to this year. This season is still in baby shoes and I doubt McEachran even got a run so early last season? Ancelotti didn't play him THAT often? Sorry, my memory on such cases is bad, I can barely remember team selection for recent games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDutchy 63 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2052140/Josh-McEachran-wanted-Swansea-loan-Chelsea.html?ITO=1490&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitterIt would be a good loan. Swansea tries to play good football and have averaged more passes per PL game than Manchester United. McEachran can make his mark and really grow at Swansea.

Swansea tries to play good football and have averaged more passes per PL game than Manchester United. McEachran can make his mark and really grow at Swansea. It would be an excellent loan, cos he will be behind 2 good wingers and a striker, also he will be the main man in midfield, what Swansea need is a consistent playmaker like Charlie Adam, McEachran might be able to be that player for them.

NattyBlue 44 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Would've been great if he went on loan in the summer though.The arrival of Raul so late on didn't help things really. I wish Josh all the best and if he doesn't make it through then I stand by my old judgements of saying a player from the academy will never make it with us lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's what Ancelotti did, kill the chance, we need a long term manager, even if he doesnt win anything in the first season.Would've been great if he went on loan in the summer though.The arrival of Raul so late on didn't help things really.

NattyBlue 44 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Odd that you brought up Borini, since Torres starting playing decent people seemed to stop talking about him! I don't think we'll regret leaving him behind really. But who knows, eh?! I've had that idea for a long time though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At such a young age he showed signs he can be world class in the future, scoring 5 in a reserve match, playing very well at Swansea and having a solid record.

diskoviolente 425 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Josh´s physical appearance isn´t the strongest and i honestly think that he might struggle against physical sides like Everton. He´s got amazing skills and is a cool headed player but i think that he has to be given a couple of years time to develop himself and getting stronger. He will break through, he´s to good to go somewhere unnoticed. But right now it is a very big task to get into this Chelsea side with all these amazingly skillfull and strong midfielders. He is just 18. I think we are not in a rush here to promote him to first team action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
