So what happened about McEachran's loan move to Sociedad.

If we don't loan him out, I think he could still get game time in the Capital One Cup, Earlier rounds of the FA Cup and when we play shit teams in the Champions League. We could use him a bit like Buttner was used by Fergie IF we don't loan him out.

I honestly hope he sticks around, although I suspect the club will send him out on loan somewhere soon.

The potential loan move to Real Sociedad was never really on anyway. They were just looking around and at McEachran to evaluate various options from what I have read.

Anyway, think we can definitely forget about that loan move now. Real Sociead just signed Granero on loan.

Well to be honest although he would suit their style of play, right now he does not have the quality to play for them. Real Sociedad finished 4th last season and have got two important matches to get in the UCL. You would think they would aim higher than Josh. He was on loan at Boro last season and while I did not watch him very much he got mixed reviews there and I still think he ha s a lot to prove so if he managed a loan there that would be quite generous.

It is a tough one for Josh as although he is still young and may play a few games this season if he does not manage a loan, much more was expected of him from when he first broke through but he has some ways stalled. Some people say it would be good if he stays with the team for this season and plays some games but I think it will be a waste of time. He will be more than 75% of the times, stuck to playing U21 football.

I think he needs a loan where the playing style suits his play. A 4-3-3 set up and there is no point of him staying here while he is really down the pecking order. I am sure Mourinho wants him to gout on loan definitely so he can observe him. I don't agree with the thesis of chucking him in for the cup games. He needs regular first team football on a regular basis. Whether that has to be a Championship team again the so be it, however good players who are capable pf playing for us should be able to prove out on loan that they are ready to prove a point when they come back to us.

Ten mins of 2012-13 Josh McEachran highlights at Middlesborough(YouTube link): http://goo.gl/L4uK8h

There are more videos of highlights of him with the England U21s and of his appearances against Indonesia XI on the channel.

If you can't be bothered to watch all 10 minutes make sure you see 0:50.

Great video. I definitely can see a change in his tenacity in these clips.

Did the business against Norwich twice,the first one from the spot.

That sounds so dirty! :P

Great to see him back on form after that injury. I've always said that Josh should be given a chance with the first team and not on loan, but atm MVK is struggling to make the bench, so I hope to see him go loan soon.
