Josh McEachran

[Amblève. 4,995]

Not sure about that.

I disagree. Josh is very likely a top 10 talent in Europe, in England he has to be a top 3 talent imo. It's a tough time for him now but I'm not sure if anyone would want him to play or even to start a game if Carlo would not have played him last season. He's still very young, he has great potential but keep in mind: We have to be careful. We need to stop all that hype and pressure that he's surrounded by. I'd also like to see him playing more but that's the coach's decision. I do believe that Andre would have used him more this season so far if we would not have been going through that bad streak. Hopefully he'll be loaned out so he can gain some experience.

“It's fair to say we have to look at some proposals for Josh's loan,” Villas-Boas continued.

“His playing time has not been much, but, because of his talent, it’s not 100 per cent sure that we’d send him out on loan, even if clubs come in for him.”

He acknowledges his talent so that's a good sign I guess!

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I can still understand why they're reluctant to loan him out.. He's still raw, but he does need it.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Fuck off Andre, he's ready and all you're doing is playing players like Mikel and Malouda in midfield ahead of him, loan him out already.

[Tomo 21,733]

To loan him out it will need to be a team that guarentee's him first team football.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

In that case you stick a minimum appearances clause in the loan and offer a financial incentive. That's what Arsenal did with Wilshere.

McEachran on Villa's radar

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Wouldn't be the worst place to go.. With Albrighton and Clarke there, there's some good youth getting chances at Villa.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Don't think McLeish is the kind of coach you would want Josh to learn from. Swansea is a better option IMO.

[eldo 868]

Wouldn't loan him to Villa.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I would prefer he went to Swansea as well. The football they play can really help Josh develop.

[Tomo 21,733]

Villa are a decent side, only problem is the brand of football Mcleish plays.

Villa is a pile of negativity atm

Swansea are a promoted side busting with optimism and positivity. Play a decent style of football, and IMO have a pretty good manager.

Swansea for me

I'd gone with Bolton before but not sure fighting relegation is the sort or deal Josh should be involved in.

The worry with Swansea is if they do a Hull that won't be good for him either.

[Madmax 9,219]

Doubt he'll go to Swansea after the fit AVB threw a while back over Rodger's comments.

[5354 204]

Sad to say but Villa's not playing good football.

But first team is definitely guaranteed I believe. No offence but Fabian Delpth is trash.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Swansea is the best.

Off-topic: Would like to see some English talented young winger like Alrbighton at the club also.

[TacticalBlues 2,817]

I guess Swansea would be 2nd best. Best would be him playing for Chelsea! I know he picked up a niggle but has clearly got the creative talent we're yearning. Nevertheless a loan to boost confidence and playing times is a no brainier- especially if he remains on the bench here. Swansea over Villa is definitely best.
