PaulHopkins 1 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Chelsea's young Israeli striker Ben Sahar is ready to sign for struggling Sheffield Wednesday on loan for the rest of the season. Owls boss Brian Laws has made an approach for the powerful forward who will be allowed to leave Stamford Bridge to gain first-team experience. Sahar is back in the reserves at Chelsea after a loan spell at QPR ended with injury problems - but he is keen for a second shot at the Championship.

Elliott 7 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Actually, I have to agree, tentatively, with Badboy. Sahar hasn't actually impressed me thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAS 0 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Ben Sahar in national team Israel played very good! But he very young... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 He's young and needs experience at the top level. But before that, he needs experience in the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Sahar had a sensational first 3/4 of last season where his rise was meterioric. Since then he has really struggled, and this season his form has been very very poor. The lad needs games again to get his level to where it can be, the talent is there and now we need to bring it out again, could be a good move for him if he gets the games.

Fulham Broadway 17,333 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Agree he's been pretty poor, and dont think he'll ever cut it for the first team tbh. Just doesnt read the game well enough. Wish him well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish him well though. He still can do, he is still very young, and has a good couple of years development ahead of him still. He has hit a rut and he needs to get out of it. From what i saw of him in the reserves last week he is trying too hard at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,333 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 With the quality of the team , it would be extremely unlikely that someone like Sahar wiould make it as regular starter, given the status of the club and the quality of strikers in the world available. Just not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not good enough. It depends doesn't it, if you judge any 18 year old striker, even the best then they are going to come up short against the likes of Drogba, Anelka and Shevchenko. Doesn't mean with the right development they can't make that level, they certainly own't be at that level at 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulham Broadway 17,333 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 He may develop into a world Class striker, but from what I've seen of him, that 'instinct ' Analka, Shvchenko have can't be taught and he doesnt have it in my book. Probably end up at Charlton , or West Ham at tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably end up at Charlton , or West Ham at tops. He did have it, he had the promise of being a strong player who can hold the ball up and have a wicked shot on him as well as the skill. His peak came in scoring for the Israel full team, that was when we saw the absolute Best of Sahar, unfortunately since then it has gone missing for whatever reason.

bombayblue™ 55 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Injury? Yes he did suffer from injury just when he was about to start a loan spell with QPR, scored a couple of goals for them in a pre season friendly, they got excited and then he got injured and never managed to recover from it. But to be honest his lack of form started before that at the end of last season.... Personally, i still think he can make it, time is on his side. A final descision won't be made on him for another 2 or 3 years at least. But the next year is going to be crucial for him.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drogba was a VERY late developer too. The club have been talking a lot recently about keeping players on longer (unless of course it is obvious they are NEVER going to improve) and that they are reserving final judgement now till 21/22 . Which is the right thing to do to make sure that the young players get the right development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Aye, at 17/18/19 you can't tell how good a player is going to be. Teams release players far too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
