Leif 6,006 Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 It's damn hilarious and great progression that Josh at his 'prime' youth-wise, our 'best youth product since Terry' (& Franco DiSanto ) , would be benched by all of our youth players from the past 4 or so seasons. This may've been the only season he'd get a sniff. Always thought he looked like a yogurt pot trying to play football. It just won't work.

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Lets be honest. Mentality wise the guy never had it. There is a reason he went from the next big thing/next player to break through here at a top PL club, to a newly promoted PL club, to 3 championship clubs, Vitesse, and then back to another championship club in the space of 5 or 6 years. He never had the mentality for the big time. Look at other young players who have gone out on loan and come back or have been loaned out then sold, we've regretted some, guys like Matic, De Bruyne, Salah, even Chalobah who was 100 times the guy he was in terms of mentality and a much more rounded players. The fact hes saying shit like this, despite the fact hes playing at Brentford, says it all. Its not as if hes punching above his weight and outplaying the league, the guy is so average its unbelievable. He's 25 and his career has mounted to a pile of averageness but he wants to talk about regretting not going to Real Madrid lol, they probably have a worse record with youth than we do and you look at the young guys they discarded over the years. He never fit in at Swansea for whatever reason, fair enough but look at all his other loan spells he only really played at Vitesse and Middlesbrough and he went on loan 5 times. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats 7,142 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 How did things go so downhill for him. Brentford have announced him amongst their release list this summer. Has suffered with numerous injuries too. His next club will be interesting to see. Will take a massive wage drop wherever he goes as I can't see much teams willing to pay him that much money as he is injury-prone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,175 Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Brentford fans react to reports Josh McEachran has joined Sheffield Wednesday for pre-season training https://www.sheffieldwednesday.news/fan-views/brentford-fans-react-to-reports-josh-mceachran-has-joined-sheffield-wednesday-for-pre-season-training/ Brentford supporters are reacting to reports one of their former players has joined Sheffield Wednesday for pre-season training. According to the Star, the midfielder Josh McEachran flew out to Portugal on Friday and was due to take part in the Owls’ Saturday morning session. McEachran – who came through the ranks at Chelsea, a couple of years below the Wednesday midfielder Sam Hutchinson – was among the players released by Brentford at the end of last season. And the Owls have already agreed a deal to sign another of those, the right-back Moses Odubajo. Whether or not McEachran will follow remains to be seen, however. And the 26-year-old’s chances are likely to hinge on how well he performs in the coming few days. But according to the following Brentford fans, their Sheffield Wednesday counterparts should not get their hopes up… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drogba and Lampard were injured fpr most of the season and when they came back they made up 13points gap on Utd. It was a very unlucky season. A bad transfer window and bad injuries fucked us Still that game there vs Newcastle sich retro feeling. Zhirkov Ramires midfield, yossi fuckin benayoun, ferreira with that almost world class goal, feels like ages ago. Bruma, Mceachran and can aanholt possibly with their best game in a chelsea shirt. At least two of those still play at an ok level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhForAGreavsie 6,073 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 On 7/14/2019 at 9:10 AM, Vesper said: Brentford fans react to reports Josh McEachran has joined Sheffield Wednesday for pre-season training Best of luck to Josh. Hope he picks up a contract at Wednesday, or a good level club somewhere. Meanwhile I'm delighted that his little brother George signed a new contract this summer because I feared he might leave. I don't mean it as a slight to Josh, but I think George has more talent and works harder too. I was happy when Maurizio put him on the bench against Vidi, but very disappointed he didn't get on, even after the result was safe. Operating as a deep playmaker, George was a key contributor to England's U17 world cup win twenty-one months ago. Check out the assist in the video below. I've tired to cue up the video to the right spot but, just in case, it comes a little before 02:10. Vesper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,319 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 231 games in career 1 goal 😂 And once it was this: A central midfielder, McEachran idolised Zinedine Zidane growing up and commented "it was everything about him, his goals, his touches. He was the complete all-round midfielder".[97] When Zidane retired in 2006, McEachran looked up to Andrés Iniesta.[97] Ray Wilkins and Stuart Pearce have commended on McEachran's incisive passing,[98] while André Villas-Boas and Brendan Rodgers have lauded his vision on the pitch and technical abilities, comparing him to Luka Modrić, Jack Wilshere and Samir Nasri.[99] Peter Bosz commented in 2015 that McEachran "needs to improve his defensive play", but "will certainly be a player at a good level".[46] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
