Josh McEachran

[zolayes 14,489]

You know what I think Josh needs?He needs to play with players like hazard,matic,Oscar etc to show his true potential imo.

I think we know he has potential but he never seems to be making any progress to fulfilling it , I think he will be sold at end of season to a championship side

Does anybody know why he wasnt in the squad yesterday?

The manager has never played him twice a week, and the most he's played was 67 minutes against Yeovil. Tells you what the manager thinks of his physical state.

He starts today against QPR.

Was voted MOTM by the fans against QPR:

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

[Mr_President 404]

It's not a bad ambition to have, it would just be good to see him show it consistently. At the end of the day, if he doesn't make it here but does still work hard he will go on to have a good career as he is undoubtedly talented, he just seems to have stalled for a few years. He cannot be solely blamed for stalling either. Perhaps he had lost sight of what's important (training hard and being committed to football) but surely there other mitigating circumstances e.g. poor loan moves and managerial instability that have affected him. No doubt, a truly top player would have overcome those issues, but he still has the talent to have a decent career in the PL, even if it isn't here.

see him as a championship player

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

[quickpassnmove 924]

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.

How gracious of them!

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

[mccg 1,528]

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

[mccg 1,528]

Come on Wigan

[bushman 2,043]

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.

[Tomo 21,681]

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.
