Finally..some good news about McEachran

Hope he impresses Mourinho (for a spot on the bench) or some other club's scout at Vitesse

Best thing for him. A whole new environment, but one that will be supportive to him because of our links to them and away from the paparazzi and his ex.

It's sink or swim time. He could go either way, but the upside is tremendous.

Interesting bit from Ray Wilkins on Talk Sport tonight about Josh. He mentioned him and Carlo giving him a shot in the first team and remembering how great the first team lads were with him, and were always supremely confident in giving him the ball on the pitch cause they knew he wouldn't lose it. He went on to speak of his sadness at his lack of progression. Both he and Adrian hope that he comes good for the blues but seemed a bit resigned to the fact that he won't ever do so.

I remember going to a Chelsea game in the Ancelotti times and Josh came on for the second half, and it was an amazing atmosphere, it was like Josh had thousands of proud parents in the crowd cheering him on with 'go on son', 'come on Josh', ringing around the Bridge. I think that's why I, like a lot of other Chelsea fans hold out hope still for this kid. He is clearly a talent, otherwise a great manager like Carlo wouldn't have picked him. I just think limited opportunities/loans going amiss/lack of drive (probably rightly so at points with the managerial merry-go-round). If I was completely honest I'd say his time has come and gone with the likes of Baker, Loftus-Cheek etc...coming through, but I still bloody well hold out hope he has a successful loan at Vitesse (or wherever) and comes back to the player I saw freshen up our midfield that while ago.

Come on Josh! :blue scalf: :blue scalf:

Whilst I was chatting with a Boro scout today he mentioned Josh and apparently he was in Magaluf a few weeks back playing the big I am, he said "Boro where shit" and one lad said "Oi they gave you a chance when you needed it" He replied with "I'm fucking better the them and I can play for who I want.

Obviously this can be lost in translation but this is what he said. If true, a shame, because Boro treat all loan players with the utmost respect, if they didn't people like Big Ken wouldn't be back there.

I remember the hype around him, crazy. Shame really, he's 21 already, should be kicking ass by now

Can you blame him though? If I remember correctly, didn't Boro's previous manager play him out of position half the time?

If Josh said those things, it's a bit disrespectful to Boro...but then again, he was speaking the truth....Boro are just not that good at the moment..

Even if that's the truth, it's still not the way to go around saying things like that when he hasn't achieved anything in his career.

Jason has quite simply answered what I was going to put.

Looking at his twitter...

I dont know. but is that what a trainee footballer should be doing?

The club should do something about this social media with young players.
