Blue Armour 4,439 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 That sounds so dirty! 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. I hope we see Josh again in a cup game this season. Hopefully with someone experienced like Mikel or Essien in the pivot next to him, he'll be able to showcase his ability for Mourinho.

Kojo 4,676 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 McEachran can be very similar to Wilshere, the sad thing is he just lacks that flair, Wilshere can just do it, whereas McEachran has done it, he's done it for us and he has done it for Middlesbrough every now and then.Hope he starts getting game time, give him the chance because he might surprise many.

CrayzayBarnet 126 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 If he is with us this season ...he will rarely make the bench never mind the pitch From what I saw of him under Carlo he deserves a few minutes on the pitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zolayes 14,489 Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 From what I saw of him under Carlo he deserves a few minutes on the pitch he doesn't seem to have progressed since then ,there are so many midfielders in front of him now. A few minutes will not do much good .another season in the Championship MIGHT. Stats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mufassir08 2,400 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 So he will go out on loan after a couple of U21 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English Freak 456 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I just don't see him making it at ChelseaHe's way down the pecking order and he doesn't seem to have developed his skill-set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah 200 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 BBC reporter: Josh McEachran loan? Might you be interested?Zola: There might be some interest. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilvorak 3,734 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 BBC reporter: Josh McEachran loan? Might you be interested?Zola: There might be some interest. We'll see.Thank f***king God. After Ross Barkley's torrid time in the Championship last season and what the lad has done this year I'm not writing Josh off yet Like I did earlier.He was playing LW for the majority of last season and the Championship isn't the best place for technical midfielders like him. A loan where he'll play in midfield under a manager who plays on the ground will do a world of good for him. Hannah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ankit 3,176 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 So people who see Watford or the Championship with some interest , can he be a regular starter for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 So people who see Watford or the Championship with some interest , can he be a regular starter for them?Well they did lose Chalobah, but they signed a couple of central midfielders in the summer. Not sure how good they are, though, so I can't judge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,142 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 So people who see Watford or the Championship with some interest , can he be a regular starter for them?Well I have a soft spot for them but I think he will find it hard to be a nailed on starter. They got a bargain deal of the summer in getting McGugan on a free transfer who is a very good CM and Iriney who is very experienced and is more of a midfield enforcer. He is experienced and played tons of games in La Liga already and they are the usual starters in the CM department. I would guess that Josh would rotate for Iriney and sometimes McGugan but I can't see him breaking into the first 11 consistently because they have some good players there already.Strange though that he is on around the same wages as Chalobah but the loan move for Chalobah to Watford hit a stall because of wages yet they managed to get Josh on loan.

What formation do Watford play though? Are they flexible in that sense and may be we could see Josh play a No.10 role for them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stats 7,142 Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Much appreciated. What formation do Watford play though? Are they flexible in that sense and may be we could see Josh play a No.10 role for them? No problem. Watford usually line up with a 3-4-2-1/3-5-2/5-3-2 formation. However you like to define it, with wing backs anywyay The no.10 role is usually for Abdi but in most cases I think Josh will be a CDM with a more restrictive role to allow the likes of McGugan and Abdi to venture forward. They do mix around the team quite a bit though as they have quite a lot of CM already so we should expect to see him get a lot of game time. This loan move definitely suits him more than Boro though. Much more of a passing team and the best entertainers in that division IMO. Football is exciting to watch and the way Zola instructs his team to play will suit him.The good thing is he can play in any of the three CM role Watford have so he is definitely well suited. Chalobah had an excellent season at Watford, especially considering that he had no prior experience before he went to Watford and he nearly got promoted with them. Josh has first team experience with Chelsea, Swansea and Middlesbrough so hopefully he fins it relatively easy to adapt to life at Watford.
