Josh McEachran

Wonder how Josh feels. In his first interview after joining them he very clearly said that he expects to be starting most if not all games for Swansea. There's no way he would have made such a bold remark if he hadn't been told by Rodgers that that's what would happen

perhaps WE have hyped Josh too much.

But that's not the point, is it? ...Rodger's claimed he knew Josh as a player very well..so he obviously know what he's getting. Plus, he was clamoring for him to join.

Instead he goes from being backup for Chelsea to being backup for Swansea.

and when Josh is there ,,,he isn't worth his place . The minutes I saw of him he looked less than average

Another game where josh doesn't feature how many minutes has he actually had at swansea?

Definitely not more than he had for Chelsea in the first half of the season.

As far as I am aware he has played more games and minutes for Chelsea this season than for Swansea. SMH.

I'm worried about repressing his attacking instincts because I'm pretty sure the mantra on him is to keep him in the box-to-box/deep-lying position. Guys like Mata & Silva show you don't have to be the biggest guy to play in the attacking position, albeit he does need to show more strength on the ball. He's still young so nothing to worry about immediately, but there was a time where Jack Rodwell claimed McEachran was better than Henderson. The latter shone at Sunderland because he had a platform there, but McEachran doesn't. Not here, not at Swansea. I don't know where..

Well it seems we severely overhyped him if he plays even less at Swansea.

Or the fact it is very diffucult to break into a team with a very good midfield. Also Josh has not played many games this season, he is in august- september fitness rather then late season. He didn't play much for the Reserves either.

Lets not forget Gylfi Siguosson presence either, he was signed because of AVB indecisiveness. He is very gifted player and who i have rated for a while. He is better then Josh atm and in better fitness.

For me Josh best position is the Lampard role in our traditional 4-3-3. He is not a #10, he is more like Iniesta and Xavi rather Silva and Mata.

The reason why I think the Swansea move was bad is that....we don't play like Swansea. What he really needs (if he's going to help us) if for Frank to mentor him on how to be EFFICIENT. I'm just afraid he'll turn into a mikelish player. When he decides to go forward his vision/passing is almost unrivaled in the PL. but from what I've seen lately the times he has decided to go forward are too spread out. Not to mention when he was at Chelsea on the first team, it looked almost impossible to get the ball off of him. Kid has loads of potential and I expect ROBBIE to do the right thing!

Kakuta and Josh were sent to the wrong teams. Kakuta would have thrived at Swansea and Josh would fit like a glove at Bolton.

In hindsight we agree it was a bad loan, but when the deal was announced and even before that, we also agreed that it was the best option for him. Unpredictability is a major factor in football. This time unfortunately we fell on the bad side of it.

Some talented and gifted player just dont make it. Could he be one of them?.

we seem to have had so many in that category lately . I could list a lot but it will only depress me
