I think it's pretty obvious our strategy is mainly to aid player development/exposure through loans and sell them for a profit while hoping one or two may break through at Chelsea, instead of trying t

Good first half, excellent second. Blue-tinted glasses maybe, but he the MOTM for me, definitely one of the best performers today, especially in the opening 25 mins of the second half. Great assist and probably should have got a goal from one of his two chances. Showed some signs of tiredness after the 75th minute. Was a good call to sub him off.

His movement was excellent especially when he drifted centrally. His dribbling proved too much for the Bilbao defenders. And his relation with Isco caused all sorts of trouble for Athletic. I was also pleasantly surprised by his defensive work rate and tracking back.

Over all, very much exceeding my expectations. Well done, Mr. Piazon.

The fact is the boy has a lot of talent and with the right guidance he could become a star.

But that's my problem. Where do you get that from? He's barely played 90 minutes of first team football in his career. What does he offer aside from the flair? I don't care what he could offer Malaga in a slower paced league where you get forever on the ball, but what would he offer CHELSEA? He's clearly not prolific as seen by the fact he failed to score today when he really should have and the fact he's barely, if at all, broken double figures at youth level. He doesn't have a great deal of pace, he has flair...(which does what exactly?), passing ability I'd expect from all of our youth midfielders and above average vision. I don't see how that's the potential to become a star.

I thought he had a good game.Combined well with isco,worked very hard and showed some skills as well not to mention his assist.I hope he starts a lot more now but with the quality of malaga i am not so sure that he will start next time out despite today's impressive showing.

I actually like his movement when he plays centrally very much. I think his best position would be as second striker. What do you think?

He did show some good movement for that goal he scored in pre-season but other than that I thought he looked quite uncomfortable, he lost the ball a lot. He still has a lot of potential as a playmaker/second striker IMO, so I'd be fine with him staying there, but I guess I'm just intrigued to how he'd do if he was a bit more direct out-wide.

His best assets are his dribbling, movement and passing. And you get that from seeing how he's played in the youth teams and being a key figure in the youth cup win. That's where you see that he has talent, and now it's up to him and the coach to make it count. And scoring goals is something that can develop. Bale has only just started developing that side of his game and hazard is still working on getting himself into goalscoring position more often beyond the defence. It's clear that we just rate him differently. As I said I think his vision is at a good level, he's got pace, his dribbling is good and most importantly he works hard and defends as well as gets forward

He certainly has the dribbling skills for the wing and to some extent the pace but the issue seems to be that his instinct is to always cut inside. I'm more a fan of old-fashioned wingers who stay wide and put in crosses.

And to think some people thought this loan move was 'baffling'. :rolleyes:

Starting a game and getting 80 minutes is great for his development and apparently he's done enough to get another chance soon. By my count that's EIGHT promising youngsters out on great loans, which is remarkable work by the board.

The loan made complete sense. He was getting no time at Chelsea and is going to get games in Spain. The loan policy has worked very well this year but...the board still screwed up by not ensuring that we have enough players actually at Chelsea. How we started the season with one striker and no real central midfielders is beyond me.

I do not agree that one start makes this loan correct. McEachran in his early days had one start. He did quite well. Made a great chance for Danny Grahan, and then was on the bench for the rest of the season. Kakuta and PVA also started their first 1-2 games for Fulham and Bolton, Wigan for PVA, then also did not get a look in. Remains to be seen how they use Piazon - but I still do not think they will use him anymore than we would have, while we're playing 2 games a week and had all those players injured/suspended.
