Swansea was different because Josh went there mid season with the club exceeding expectations and Allen and Briton having two of the best passing stats in not just the PL but all of Europe. Why would Rodgers change anything in his starting lineup especially that Josh was very "shy" in his contribution in the only game he was given a chance?

Dont forget about Sigurosson, who came there in January and was amazing for Swans.

Yes but how does Rodgers expect Josh to do better when he doesn't even give him more game time to familiarize himself with the team? Even when Swansea are leading 2-0, 3-0 in a game, he refused to bring him on every single time!

The problem with Swansea, as mentioned above, was that Sigurdsson was so good, he and Josh couldn't play together as they were so similar in style. I know nothing of Southampton's team (especially out wide, where I assume KdB would play, as Championship teams don't generally play with a no.10). Hopefully they need a left-sided winger...

Rodgers was being a c*nt in the way he treated Josh and rubbed salt into the wound with the redicilous comments he made that Josh is benefiting because he is getting to know a different city. But when you loan a player to another team, you don't expect him to be given time to adjust, especially if he was loaned halfway through the season. I f he does not have an almost immediate impact then the club won't give him the time and chances to prove himself simply because they won't benefit from him in the long run since he will be returning to his parent club.

Well, if the rumors are true and the do want him, then that says something about how much the need a player like him if they are looking to secure the loan so early in the window.

Poor man management on Rodgers part. If Josh was doing poorly or trying too hard to impress etc, then it is his job to guide Josh to just do his own thing, keep it simple and things like that but seems like he didn't. Never look to have full faith in him.

^^ Thats what I thought when Josh went to Swansea. But I was really disappointed.

I don't know the qualities of McEachran, but I know he hadn't proved anything in first league football when he went to Swansea. De Bruyne is a different story: he has been the best player in the third-fourth best team in Belgium, for three years in a row! It's almost impossible he wont succeed in a team like Southampton. Southampton is not that much better than Genk, but the good thing will be that he can play against Man U and Arsenal, instead of Westerlo and OH Leuven. It will be very good for his development.

Then again: De Bruyne played in Genk in a 4-4-2 system. The first two years as a left winger, which he did great. The last year as a CENTER (so not attacking) midfielder (however with a player next to him that was a bit more defensive than him), which he did phe-no-me-nal. Maybe his best position is the 10, but he's also capable to play reaaally good at the 8.

Didn't know he could play CM in the 4-4-2! I'm not sure if Chelsea would ever use him in that position though (I doubt it), which was why i'd have imagined that he'd be playing as a winger for Southampton (or whoever he joins on loan).

Now Brendon is the manager at the Dipperdome do you think he'll be asking to loan a few of our squad players. I think it's good of Chelsea to help out the litte clubs.

If Brendon does well at te Dipperdome he will be well on course to manage a Big club next

I'd rather eat broken glass and drink hydrchloric acid than see our players loaned to Liverpool.

Shame had hopes he'd stay but anyways he looks like ultimate replacement for Malouda. And with marko Marin I think those two are great sources of competition for hulk and Mata and hulk? Theyveill all play games but atleast no one is a untouchable witch was case for Malouda and Anelka. We all knew they would start game in game out.

Kdb hopefully shows how much of boss he is on loan in epl and shows confidence in his abilities. What if him an lukaku were loaned to same team?? Damn.................

i would much rather keep him here than loan him to a premship team. unless we retain benayoun, we dont have a back-up for mata at CAM and given how mata's stamina is questioned and our hectic schedule for next season, he would get game-time here

I always thought he was played as more of a no.8 in Genk's second half of the season.
