Sauce? Very good player IMO.

There's a video of him skinning the whole Liverpool U21 team, and scoring, knocking about somewhere at the moment.

Good player but would Chelsea want guaranteed game time for him? If so unless something happened to Stephens or Kayal would he get it here?

Massive potential, Looked very good in a 25 minute cameo in our game at the Bridge earlier this season.

Would be a big coup if Brighton could get him on loan, Would imagine the location and facilities would make it an attractive proposition for him.But would also think that there are premiership teams that would give him a starting position during a loan move.

He's one of those ones Chelsea were paying over £20k per week to at 16-17 years of age, isn't he? Astonishing. And- in some cases- it's little wonder they don't make it. Where's the incentive to succeed when you earn that sort of money at 16?

Blimey that's ridiculous,I think 99% of lads his age would think they have made it once they see that in their bank account every week/month,And then end up playing non-league by the time they are 21, Think he could be one of the 1% though.

Would be ideal if for example we loan out JFC again.

And would offer genuine alternatives to Kayal and Stephens

Yep, he does seem to be highly rated. The Independent suggested that Chelsea offered him an £18k/ week deal on his 17th birthday, or £34k/wk if you count bonuses :ohmy:

Andreas Christensen, one of their youth teamers I've never heard of, is supposedly on £20k/wk. Josh McEachran (remember him??) was on £38k per week despite being out on loan to half the teams in the Championship at various points. No idea where he is now, but he certainly doesn't appear to have made it at Chelsea.

I can imagine him ending up at Derby or 'Boro.

Well we play more then two in midfield!, either Kayal or Stephens could drop back if necessary, plus I believe Loftus-Cheek can play out wide too.

He would give us more options that's for sure.

He joined Brentford for about £650k in the summer then got a serious injury so is out for most of this season

I am not so sure that we need an attacking midfielder unless we are going to scrap 4-4-2 and revert to 1 up front. Another goal scoring wide man or support striker but not midfielder. If it was Bamford different story.

Josh McEachran signed for Brentford during the summer transfer window, Immediately picked up an injury I believe, and hasn't made his debut for them yet,

Was saying that we should get him in when Stephens injury arose. If Baldock is out after the international break could be worth a go anyway, has an eye for goal and could potentially play in behind Hemed/Zamora.

Saying that Chelsea would probably want guranteed starts/his full wages covered so if he does move more likely to be Middlesbrough etc.

Could he play the Tex role of last year? I do not know enough about him but if Baldocks injury is a long one I would prefer a 'fox in the box' type player.
