Reddish-Blue 2,505 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 He's still only 21. Now I don't have much faith in him but we still need to try and do what we can not just for the club's benefit, but because he's a young man we probably have a duty to.That left foot is magical at times. Maybe the best scenario for McEachran is a loan move to VitesseHis skill-set would suit that league and he would be able to develop with a bit more freedom in a league that is known to give youngsters a chance The only place to be 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Every player we loan is one successful stint away from profit, and he's still only 21.We loaned Matic to Vitesse at age 22!.. now look.He seems like a deep lying playmaker to me. And they blossom later in their careers like modric and xavi. Term-X 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsden 4,689 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 He seems like a deep lying playmaker to me. And they blossom later in their careers like modric and xavi.Modric and Xavi had and showed more balls and work ethic at Josh's age though. He has the worst kind of problem for a youngster, laziness, lack of focus and balls.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Best thing for him. A whole new environment, but one that will be supportive to him because of our links to them and away from the paparazzi and his ex.It's sink or swim time. He could go either way, but the upside is tremendous. The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted August 16, 2014 Popular Post! Share Posted August 16, 2014 Interesting bit from Ray Wilkins on Talk Sport tonight about Josh. He mentioned him and Carlo giving him a shot in the first team and remembering how great the first team lads were with him, and were always supremely confident in giving him the ball on the pitch cause they knew he wouldn't lose it. He went on to speak of his sadness at his lack of progression. Both he and Adrian hope that he comes good for the blues but seemed a bit resigned to the fact that he won't ever do so.I remember going to a Chelsea game in the Ancelotti times and Josh came on for the second half, and it was an amazing atmosphere, it was like Josh had thousands of proud parents in the crowd cheering him on with 'go on son', 'come on Josh', ringing around the Bridge. I think that's why I, like a lot of other Chelsea fans hold out hope still for this kid. He is clearly a talent, otherwise a great manager like Carlo wouldn't have picked him. I just think limited opportunities/loans going amiss/lack of drive (probably rightly so at points with the managerial merry-go-round). If I was completely honest I'd say his time has come and gone with the likes of Baker, Loftus-Cheek etc...coming through, but I still bloody well hold out hope he has a successful loan at Vitesse (or wherever) and comes back to the player I saw freshen up our midfield that while ago. Come on Josh! :blue scalf: :blue scalf: The only place to be, The Skipper, Chelsea? and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Whilst I was chatting with a Boro scout today he mentioned Josh and apparently he was in Magaluf a few weeks back playing the big I am, he said "Boro where shit" and one lad said "Oi they gave you a chance when you needed it" He replied with "I'm fucking better the them and I can play for who I want.Obviously this can be lost in translation but this is what he said. If true, a shame, because Boro treat all loan players with the utmost respect, if they didn't people like Big Ken wouldn't be back there.

If I remember correctly, didn't Boro's previous manager play him out of position half the time?If Josh said those things, it's a bit disrespectful to Boro...but then again, he was speaking the truth....Boro are just not that good at the moment..
