bababoom 4,478 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I want him to go out on loan to Everton or Southampton, they seem ideal for a player like Thorgan. iseah100 and Mong630 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think he'll get a starting spot at Everton, but Southampton would be ideal if Lallana leaves. Bir_CFC, yuvala and BleedsBlue 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see him playing much Everton except maybe some EL games. If we want him to play teams of that level then we should keep him in Belgium. The point of PL loan is for him to actually play PL games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, do we want him only playing in smaller games against weaker opposition? I'd rather he gets 30-35 PL games at Southampton as a starter and come up against the likes of City, Arsenal, utd...etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think if he won't be a starter, then we're better off sending him somewhere else where he'll have more responsibility on his shoulders and more playing time even if it is in a weaker league.

But that's the point. He won't be playing at the highest level if he's on the bench for the big games and only plays against weaker sides. He might as well stay at Zulte where he still gets to play Europa but also get 30+ other games in the league, or move to the Bundes Liga where he'll play better opposition than at Zulte and be a starter.

I'd prefer him not to go to Everton, doesn't he play the same position as Barkley? I heard Valencia want him, that is much more attractive. No Europe competition but a top league on a mid table team wouldn't be bad.Edit: nevermind, I'd rather he play a bit limited at Everton but learn from Martinez. Great manager, that guy.

That's a factor, but playing time is much bigger one, imo. If it was just about being surrounded by good players and manger, then just bring him back to Chelsea and have him start 3-4 Capital One games.

Tbf, he would play much more at Everton than here. 15-25 games, including EPL, COC, FA Cup, Europa League. He'd play plenty under a great manager, Martinez.

He'd play plenty under a great manager, Martinez.Would he, though? If he's guaranteed 15 starts at Everton, I'm all for it. But I'm afraid that he's only going to get 3-4 starts in the cups and a hand full of sub appearances which would basically be a year wasted of his development. You never know, Martinez might even want to take the EL seriously and play his best side in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
