Lucas Piazón

[didierforever 7,349]

Normally, we have Mata, Hazard, Oscar, Moses, and Marin for 3 positions. Both RDM and Rafa also favoured playing Ramires and Bertrand there. Even Torres would play ahead of him. Piazon was our 8th or 9th choice attacking midfielder. You're seriously complaining that we loaned out a player that we never were going to play? In your head, you think that if Piazon were around now, he'd be getting lots of playing time and I'm telling you that he wouldn't. Even if Piazon were still on the team, he'd play against Brentford and then probably not even make the bench. Piazon would not get playing time at Chelsea this season. That is why they loaned him.I don't understand complaining about loans either. Look at the progress KDB and Lukaku have made this season? What would have happened had they stayed at Chelsea? They would have played a handful of minutes and not developed. It's a necessary step. (and both players were already well ahead of Piazon in development and experience.)

this is where we differ then...

Lucas will play now the last 15 min !!!

Don't think he is even ready for La Liga. Think we are rushing his development. IMO would have been suited to join a Championship team on loan.

He came off the bench! Anyone saw it? How did he do??

Only got 5-7 minutes when his team were 2-4 down and were run into the ground. He touched the ball maybe two or three times (had a nice flick-on header ), but was overall starved of the ball - what you expect for most forwards/attacking players playing against Barça's passanaccio!

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Chased the ball down well and showed plenty of endeavour also.

Bouomamaonaoananette (a little elf from Argentina) has left Malaga, was a playmaker so allows for more chances for Piazon should Malaga bring no replacement in.

[edetarod 2,155]

remind me, why did we loan him out again ?

since Isco didn't come here, and reportedly signed a new contract too.

and to spain, in a team where he's hardly going to get any chances

doesn't make any sense

[Miracle 249]

Still can't believe we loaned out Piazon. The Chelsea board never cease to amaze me

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Still early days, but this loan is looking like the failure we all knew it would be. Why? Why trade the Chelsea bench for another bench in Spain?

[BowtiesAreCool 16]

So from what I've read here, Lucas isn't playing games. Is there anyone who watches Malaga who can clarify?

[Hamilton 2,120]

No big surprise is it?

He got 10 mins in the Copa Del Rey, but has remained on the bench in the other matches. So nothing has changed for Lucas except the country.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Really do not understand his loan deal.

[Hamilton 2,120]

Maybe he didn't like the cold weather anymore..

can't think of another sane reason..

[Stats 7,056]

No one can mention that it is good experience training with their first team squad and experiencing travelling with them. He was doing the exact same thing with us. Really baffling move, especially as he is not ready for that level yet.

[bushman 2,043]

All Chelsea loans are fucking baffling, I might add. Piazon is warming his butt in Spain, Kevin is enjoying German knackwurst..

At least, Lukaku gets to play, so does Courtois.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

Should be loaned to espanyol, sociedad, osasuna, or something...Malaga is clearly too big for him atm.
