OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 the concept of physical needs are rubbish. the EPL is becoming more continental based than a standard english game, the likes of oscar, mata, cazorla, kagawa, modric, silva, etc... prove that you do not need to be physically biult rather have the footballing qualities to shine . And as we know josh has that in abundance. go to dailymotion website and search josh mceachran vs mancity and see him manuever nijal de jong ( the bucher) and you would be amazed.Yes but he needs a bit more meat on his bones if you will. Not a lot but a bit more, hes incredibly lightweight its unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 i can,t believe you will use that as a gage of his abilities. The guy played champions league football and was the player our older once looked to to dictate play and create things, he was the one they were looking to, so saying Sunderland as a gage is simplly not a neccesity. Go ask wilshere nobody knew him until he was giving a chance.What's wrong with using that game to see how he fares against a PL opposition? Though he may have played well in the Champions League before but those games were against Zilina and a dead rubber against Marseille. Furthermore, he hardly got to play consistently in the Premier League last season with Swansea but now he is playing week in week out for Boro in the Championship and coming up against different level of opposition suddenly will be a good test for him, assuming if he plays. Adding to that, this is local derby game, where the atmosphere and intensity of the game will be high thus making it interesting to see how he copes with it.

ja1 1,166 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 PvA failed at Wigan, Kakuta failed at Fulham & Bolton, McEachran couldn't get off the bench at Swansea...the last Chelsea youth that had a decent loan spell in the PL was Mancienne.What???? Mancienne was rubbish in as soon as he moved to the PL, and you've forgotten the massive success Sturridge had at Bolton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 the same could be said of Sterling at liverpool. Let me ask you what is Josh lacking besides deffensive understanding of positioning ( which as i said is improving and should be adiquite for next season) He plays the game as if he is 30 years old, calm and collected, his talent is also not in doubt...so why would he not be ready, and lastly he will suit our style of play and fill a need in our midfield ( deeplying playmaker, our own xavi if you would like) And dont say he is too small either.PS= go on youtube and find MATA's blog were he describes Mceachran as the best young english talent he has seen and would soon be in the English senior squad.Raheem plays in a position that allows the team to carry him, Josh doesn't. If Raheem loses the ball, it's alright as he's usually far up the opposition field. In Josh's case that would be different. Josh would also have a lot more tactical instructions required from him.

Kojo 4,676 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 People who expect McEachran to play for Chelsea in the next 3 years god help you, it isn't going to happen. He's a midfielder who wont be playing for us till he's about 24-25, possibly 23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 How did he go tonight?From a boro fan:very good second half when Boro looked to take control he moved the ball intelligently, see his move for the 1st goal!But I could not find a video for Boro's goal, so I have no idea what he's talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kojo 4,676 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Got a big game against Sunderland tonight, got a lot of mates going to the game, very confident about this one. Sunderlands form is bad Boro's is very good, and Boro have a big history of kicking Sunderlands arse.Hoping Josh puts in a good performance.

RamiCFC9 258 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Not too worried about Josh the core talent he has in abundance, not to mention that in the position he is played Xavi and Pirlo before making 25+ years were pretty much shit players lol.

Rmpr 8,977 Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Because of him I think we do not need to buy a CM next season.Mikel, Romeu, Rambo and Josh (maybe Oscar) are good enough for double pivot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
