What are your thoughts on that?

i can understand it because they are much more physically developed than josh and are more combative and better defensively

He has just come back from holiday, I wouldn't fret and he'll still probably come to Asia in the normal friendlies. Bamford and Billy Clifforf and Saville (the latter two have been on friendly squads before) have also all finished their seasons but aren't going.

if there is anybody to be mentioned above McEachran as talents then it has to be Boga or Swift... don't know why he doesn't get a crack at the bench... what a freak'n player his vision is more frightning then Joshs...

Or it could mean that none of the loanees are coming with the team to the US. Take your pick.

I want him loaned to a decent team, no Middlesborough type of teams anymore!

I personally don't rank him that high, but it is not time to give up on him yet. There are late bloomers that surprises us sometimes and at least we know he has got some talent inside him...

He is still very raw though!

There was a period under Carlo when I thought Josh could have pushed on and found a regular place on the bench before cementing a spot in the first team but it just didn't work out for him. He was the hot topic in a lot of our debate's but I remember the opportunity that we all hoped for him never really opened up. Since his loan spell's he just hasn't seemed the same player. I hope things work out for Josh because he is an exceptional talent that shouldn't go to waste. Will never forget the game we lost against Newcastle in either the F.A Cup or Carling Cup, I can't remember but Josh came of the bench and was just incredible to watch in the flesh. Was the only game I have ever seen us lose at the Bridge which really pissed me off but I remember leaving thinking at least we have blooded Josh so well.

Indeed, he lit up the place that night :

I also remember that dead rubber game away in Marseille, where Carlo handed him a start and he was one of the very few players who emerged with any credit in what was an otherwise horrible team performance.

Seems so, so long ago now.

The thing with Josh is that he can't get regular minutes here at Chelsea unless he shows his best else where, but for him to show his best, he needs to be playing along side players of the caliber we have here at Chelsea!

Forget about Josh. He is not good enough to play in the starting line-up of Chelsea.

his loan finished a few weeks ago and has been back at cobham i think. maybe he is preparing for u21 champ or something

I wouldn't say Chelsea calibre per se. He just needs the right type of players around him - players with good movement etc.

It would've been more interesting to see him under the current Swansea under Laudrup in my opinion.

Hopefully he makes it at Chelsea...at least as a squad player.

So has a lot of our other loanees like Clifford, Hutch, Kane..etc but the club has taken none of loaness with them to the states. Josh is now taking a well deserved break after his first full competitive season before he joins the U21 in the Euros.

Loanee Review: Josh McEachran http://bit.ly/19ZDMjR

Not sure about Josh. One one hand I think he'll excel in a team ilke ours, with better players around him. On the other hand he needs to earn that chance..
