Interesting piece about the development of Lucas Pizon & his desire to play for Chelsea.

Piazon knows his loan away from Chelsea has to be 'special' to force a way into Mourinho's plans

Does anyone else think he could perhaps be reverted into a striker like player? or used as a false 9? Can't see him playing as a #10 or winger for us tbh. He says his style is like a midfielder upfront, likes to pass and then make runs as opposed to hog the ball and do flashy moves. I don't know though...

Another player who is maturing faster than anticipated?

Out of our current attacking midfield players (at Chelsea and away on loan)...the only guy I expect to see as a potential striker option is Schurrle.

This is my prediction of Chelsea's attacking options (at the end of this season):

Striker: Lukaku, Torres, third option

LW: Hazard, Schurrle

CAM: Oscar, Mata

RW: Schurrle, Willian, Mata

I think Piazon is about 2 seasons away from challenging for a first team spot..but I'm not sure how he's gonna break into Chelsea's squad.

Unless we sell any one of our 6 AMs in the near future, I'm not sure whether he has a future here TBH. And as long as Mourinho continues to be our manager, can just forget about the idea of playing anyone as a 'Fase 9'.

I've said it a few times before after watching his movement, and not as false 9. His movement is that of a proper number nine; just excellent for his age. He even played that role for us a couple of times in preseason under Robbie and I thought he was very impressive. His movement was miles better than Torres (not saying much, I know) and he even scored a late equalizer against PSG.

The counter argument was that his finishing was poor. But his finishing seems to be improving a lot now, so I would love to see him given a chance as a striker.

He played as a centre forward when I first saw him for Brazil's under 17s, he was great at it. He did have a Suarez like partner next to him though can't remember his name.

He's even played it many times for the youth team with Feruz as a partner and even a couple of times as a lone striker IIRC. I've always thought that his future will be there and that this LW is just a phase he'll pass through till he is ready to play as a striker at first team level (not our first team, just to be clear).

And he has been scoring goals lately, I think he'll be a number nine within two years. As of now I'm just happy he's getting playing time week in week out.

That's true. He seems to be doing very well in Netherlands which is just fantastic for him. Hope he keeps his form and and stays away from injury and it would be a fantastic season for him.

[meetdoscar 335]

He would do well as a second striker

Thankfully.

Scored to when his team was 2-0 down. 2-2 now with 10 minutes remaining.
