McEachran

Hahah.

Haha I still maintain the KID can play at this level of the game - Especially when he out-does Mikel/Essien

Last thing Chelsea need to do is rush young players into the first team, In my opinion he is far too young to be starting regularly for us...maybe calring cup games or whatever but giving him the last 20mins every few games is the best way to do it I think.

But why is it referred to as "rushing" if we're running out of ideas in the creative department and we look to someone with a different take to the game for inspiration? No-one's saying he should be a full-time starter, but we're saying perhaps and few starts to let him shine would help. I don't buy the myth anymore that he's too young, after all, it is about quality not quantity (age in this case). There are plenty of players who started their careers at young ages like this, look at Wilshere, Rodwell, Welbeck or even Lampard (who became a regular at 19 for West Ham United).

McEachra has shown the skill and quality of someone twice his age, so why not give him the chance to show this on a longer basis. Whatever we're doing now is not working effectively and as mentioned having a thin squad doesn't help. So this urban legend we were going to use the youth might as well come into play now.

[cfc-meleady 192]

Its just such a huge amount of pressure on someone so young. His skill level is top notch no doubt but part of the game is played mentally and younger players need to time to get used to the Premier League.

Arnesen on McEachran. (Sorry if this has already been posted)

"I've watched Josh since he was 12, when I came here. I've followed him and saw then he was a big, big talent. But you never know how far it goes...how will a player cope when he gets up to the youth team?" "He did some very good things on tour in pre-season and maybe in half a year we will have to consider him going on loan, probably a little bit sooner to a Premier League club than Sturridge or Kakuta."

Arnesen's policy is always to send them out on loan, never pushing to have them start off in the squad then working up. Like McEachran is. He's been training with the first team for the whole season so he has an understanding with them. To send him out on loan now would be foolish, to say the least.

I hope we loan him out to Bolton, Owen Coyle can do the same things he done with Wilshere to help McEachran.

I think he was talking about the summer. Loaning him out in the summer would be a nice idea I reckon. He would already have a n understanding with the team by then and the first team experience (on loan) will help him to get settled straight into the squad the year after.

And then we could do with Connor what we did with Josh this year ie some cup starts and a few minutes here n there every other game.

Loan him out where in the summer? All seasons will be finished?

Huh? I don't get you.

The signing of Torres and Luiz means the failure of Arnesen's job. He is the shame of the club.

May be If we secure in UCL place at the near end of the season that should be a good time for youngster to have chance in game.

But in fact if we have chance to defend the title then all youngster won't get chance anymore. Even in the cup cause I think Carlo will seriously focus to go in deep round and defend The FA CUP and about

UCL It will be unacceptable if he sent youth and get knockout.

[BLionheart 516]

he should be getting the odd 15 min. but in big 4 matches he shouldn't come in yet .... but against the likes of wolves , westham and blackpool he must start ...

they are playing with 11 men behind the ball they are not a big threat so we need joshua to start and help open their defenses with his perfect passes ....

[Peace. 4,352]

No, he's the younger of our youngsters. He has time to develop himself. In the first place we should give more playing time to Kakuta and co. .... Oh wait

Of course he should get more playing time. I don't mean he should start against the two Manchester. But against the likes of West Bromwich, Blackpool and Wigan, he should get 70 minutes.
