Joker10 946 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Josh McEachran says he prefers to stay at Middlesbrough until the end of the seasonThe 19-year-old said: “I’ve been at Chelsea since the age of seven and I’ve grown up there. It’s always been my dream to play regular first team football there.“But at present, I’d like to stay here for the rest of the season. We’ve got a genuine chance of going up and I want to be part of it.“There’s a long way to go this season and a lot could happen but we have a really good manager here and I like the way he wants to play.”Link: http://www.mirror.co...to-stay-1464024He is saying the right thing, may or may not be his true wish.I would seriously consider recalling him in January, along with ST, CM is our most vulnerable position. We need reinforcement in that position one way or another.btw Boro game will be televised tomorrow, a rare opportunity to watch him play.

underdrog 18 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 he haved earned his time over there...lets not hinder his development.yes we need reinforcements and KDB would be more logical choice but again he also is doing very well at Bremen.Regular football can do amazing things Stats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Recalling him is out of the question, he is not ready yet. Besides, he's helped Boro be in a good position to go up this season and it would be unfair to deny the opportunity to be there when it happens.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 He looked rather tired in the first half but has been by far the best player on the pitch in the second so far, creating everything for Boro.PS: The Arabic commentator keeps calling him Josho Morins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 Gave away possession cheaply there and Birmingham now lead. He'll learn from it. He has a very languid style of football which I don't think the rest of his team are entirely comfortable with either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) Only saw that mistake once but looks like it was more of a case that his team mate failed to receive the pass properly rather than Josh playing a poor pass straight to Birmingham, no?

Tomo 21,751 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Some of his passes were great, his through ball at 51 mins for example.Still needs to work on his defensive side. On another note Jack Butland has to be the most over rated keeper around, he was fucking awful last night and according to my mate who's a Birmingham fan he has cost them about 5-6 games already.

Joker10 946 Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 MCEACHRAN: SO FAR, SO GOODt's now four months since Josh McEachran swapped London for the north-east, and while the Blues midfielder may have stepped down a division in a bid to aid his development, he is simply delighted to be playing regular football once again.Following a disappointing loan spell at Swansea during the second half of last season, in which the 19-year-old made only five appearances, McEachran, in need of game time, made the choice back in August, in conjunction with Chelsea, to move on loan to Middlesbrough in the Championship, a decision which, thus far, has proved mutually beneficial.Tony Mowbray's side are currently in fourth place, having topped the table only a few weeks ago, and stand a good chance of securing automatic promotion, but more importantly for McEachran, since moving to the Riverside, he has become an integral part of the team.'It's been really good, I've made 19 starts, so I'm getting minutes under my belt,' he tells the official Chelsea website. 'The team have been winning games, so everything, up to now, has been going really well.'The Championship is a lot quicker, every game is played at 100 miles per hour and there are plenty of fierce tackles flying in all the time.'At first, I was shocked at just how fast-paced it is, but obviously the more games you play, it becomes easier to deal with.'Comfortable in possession, and with the ability to pick a killer pass, McEachran has all the qualities required to make a difference when it matters, and he feels his current role in the Middlesbrough side can only serve to enhance his progress long-term.'I'm playing as one of the two central midfielders in a 4-4-2, which means I have to work on both aspects of my game,' explains, Josh, who this week came to watch Chelsea's Under-21 side beat Middlesbrough's equivalent at the Riverside.'I have to get into the opposing penalty area and create chances for the team, but equally I have to carry out defensive duties as well, but hopefully that will help improve me as a player.'The senior players have been great with me, people like Grant Leadbitter and Jonathan Woodgate have so much experience, so having them here has been a big help.'In the long term of course McEachran's main priority is to return to Stamford Bridge and hold down a place in the first team, and he is in regular contact with coaches and players at the club.A return in January isn't impossible, particularly with John Obi Mikel heading off to represent Nigeria in the Africa Cup of Nations, but until he is told otherwise, his sole focus is on his current side.'I speak to [Chelsea assistant first team coach] Steve Holland every couple of weeks and a few of the boys as well, so I'm still in touch with what's going on at the club,' he says.'If I stay here, because obviously there is a chance I could go back to Chelsea in January, my main aim is just to keep on improving as a player and help Middlesbrough gain promotion back to the Premier League, and we don't expect anything less than that because there is so much quality in the squad.'Middlesbrough play Peterborough away this Saturday.Source: http://www.chelseafc...so-far,-so-good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanishBlue 426 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 In Denmark they show the Swansea-Boro match tonight so I really hope that Josh will play the game tonight. What do you guys think, will he play? I haven't seen much of him since his move so this would be a good chance to get a look at him against a very good opponent.
