BlueJewel 56 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Let's hope we get a big lead early on, then we can bring on Mcheachran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 This is the type of match we should start him in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wa-poke 0 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 When will Carlo is brave enough to send him into the pitch ?I think Josh can make the Blues have got a lot more creative idea from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDN Blue 7,903 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 "Josh shouldn't be compared to Wilshere just yet,""He has two years' less experience and we will use this year to help him arrive at that level because Wilshere is a very good player. He is very young and the fans need to be patient."He is showing good personality but he needs to improve and needs to train. He is doing well this season and we are using him at the right time."

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I actually agree with Ancelotti; whilst I want to see him play more often, he needs to be given games sporadically to ensure his breakthrough doesn't backfire, so to speak. We all saw what happened to great talent... it became Theo Walcott... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 The thing with Josh is that whilst we don't want to put too much pressure on him and play him loads in the first team it is also meaning he is getting little game time which is not helpful at all. He missed the Villa reserves game to be with the first team squad but didn't get on. It is a very difficult situation for him.However given the poor form of our midfield better to give Josh more chances i feel than rely on underperforming players.

steve5221 91 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I remember after the Ipswich game Carlo said Josh had surprised him due to his strength in the tackle and he is now ready to start a PL game. Since then I not sure if he has even been on the pitch in the PL. Sure we don't want to rush him but at the same time if managers and players are raving about his ability then he should be playing when things are not going well (the Liverpool game was crying out for a bit of creativity).Re: Carlo's comments Wilshere had a season on loan before playing regularly for Arsenal are we gonna do the same next year with Josh??The thing with Josh is that whilst we don't want to put too much pressure on him and play him loads in the first team it is also meaning he is getting little game time which is not helpful at all. He missed the Villa reserves game to be with the first team squad but didn't get on.

NattyBlue 44 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Chances are that he'll be loaned out to a league 1 club in the summer and then sold on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styles 9,790 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Chances are that he'll be loaned out to a league 1 club in the summer and then sold on.Who? McEachran? Have a word with yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 NattyBlue was clearly being sarcastic...McEachran certainly needs to follow in the path of Kakuta and Sturridge and secure a loan to another EPL next season. I'm not saying he will start every match - he might only start a dozen - but that is better for his development than sitting on those uncomfortable seats in the dug-out at Stamford Bridge.

J.F. 1,484 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 He is better than Wilshere, give him more minute on the pitch Carlo.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NattyBlue 44 Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I'm sure the club tried to get him a loan move last minute in Jan but failed to do so. Look at him now, not playing so much and missing out on Youth team games because he's with the first team and not being played. Not good for his development. I really hope people stfu and stop comparing him to Wilshere, if he was the same age and had a whole season in the PL before breaking into our team then yes, you can compare them. But right now there's no need. Wilshere is Englands brightest talent for the future right now and can hopefully pave the way for a new generation for us. As for Josh, he needs playing time and he'll have to wait until next season for that after a summer of development. (I don't really mean playing development, but physical development, waiting for him to get that "man" body!) Josh won't play much between now and the end of the season and that's a testament to the mess we're in imo. He'll probably get a start vs Newcastle, last home game and hopefully be in a decent position in the league by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
