That's his problem, he still thinks it's a realistic ambition - but it aint.

In terms off raw talent he is the best to come out off our academy for some time, it's his other aspects that are letting him down.

If the club gave Micheal Mancienne years and years off loans to prove himself, Josh will atleast be afforded the same chance.

At best. I don't think he's any better than Jimmy Smith.

won't do as well as Cork

I really like Josh's vision and ability. But, he hasn't gotten any bigger/stronger it seems in 3 years or so. I don't see him 'making it' at Chelsea with his lack of physical strength.

He has such talent that I have to wonder whether anyone tried to get him to bulk-up or make changes to his lifestyle. If I were trying to engineer him, I would have sent him to Spain for better food, a spot on a Spanish club along a lifestyle coach.

Finally starts 2 games in a row. Nice to see especially starting in the semi finals. Come on Wigan!

Decent enough 60mins for Josh be interesting at 21 which way his career goes mmm

[mccg 1,528]

Come on Wigan

I don't know if any of you can see anything on this Josh, but I don't see him ever making it at Chelsea. He is not good enough to play with Chelsea.

[herpthederp 122]

Probably not now that Chelsea has ruined his development, no. At 17 he slotted into the Chelsea team fine though.

Just rewatched the Wigan game vs Le Arse up to the point Josh went off and on the ball he's sound, off it the difference between him and McCarthur was borderline cringeworthy.

He needs to sort that out especially with Mourinho at the helm.

[Special Juan 28,124]

Just a matter of time before he is sent on his way. If you are pinning your hopes on him being a part of this team soon then you will be disappointed, it won't happen.

Yeah, I though defensively that was his weakest game for them. He's been doing really well in that department in the championship, always intecepting and breaking play up.

I noticed that he played the entire game yesterday for Wigan. Anyone watched the game and have updates of how good he is and if he's improved this season? I remember the hype there was back in 2011 (or so) when he looked like he could have become the next big thing for us. I still think the managerial changes slowed down his development, so we had to throw him out on loan - Ancelotti seemed to like the boy and was playing him while Lampard (I believe it was during that time) was injured.

He has improved his overall game this season...but he just seems too laid back to become a first team player under Mourinho

McEachran's best chance of making it at Chelsea was under Ancelotti...he could potentially be a bench warmer for Mourinho (as a way of filling the homegrown quota)
