Birley Owl 1867 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 He'll be an effective understudy to Bannan. Better than the option we had there last year in Onomah that's for sure. Not the powerhouse we've all been asking for though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 He’s not had a great time at Brentford but if Bruce wants a look at him i’m more than happy , Ex Chelsea kid , definitely has something about him and I’m sure Hutch will make him feel welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basegreenowl Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 He's not a defensive midfielder then? If so why would he understudy Bannan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basegreenowl Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) I read on a report he was a densive midfielder. Sounds like he may not be. More a passer. May see him and Onomah sign. This is from Wiki.... "Ray Wilkins and Stuart Pearce have commended on McEachran's incisive passing,[85] while André Villas-Boas and Brendan Rodgers have lauded his vision on the pitch and technical abilities, comparing him to Luka Modrić, Jack Wilshere and Samir Nasri.[86] Peter Bosz commented in 2015 that McEachran "needs to improve his defensive play", but "will certainly be a player at a good level".

Bez Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 From everything I have read here: http://www.griffinpark.org/forums/showthread.php?t=117386&page=147 his career at Brentford has been identical to when we had Darren Potter. Calm passer who maintains possession with sideways passes. The midfield pivot with the occasional worldie thru ball. Hated by most fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say whatever you want about Corry, but he had plenty of talent. Just a shame how things worked out with him. McEachran is a talented fella, that Chelsea expected lot from. Could be a case of player finding right club to fulfill his potential. Btw. Anyone remember when he dribbled through half of our team while on loan at Boro ?!

After watching the video clips of him that's exactly the type of player I thought he was. Someone who always plays the safe 10 yard balls wanting someone else to play the killer pass.

Didn't really set Griffin Park alight but who knows could prove to be an inspired signing for us? Sounds a lot like Bannan early on. Tipped for Villa greatness, did the square root of fizz all for Palace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, in that case I want to say that Paul Corry wasn't particularly talented as a footballer. It's a shame that injuries robbed him of a proper career in the game after he moved to Northampton, though. He retired ridiculously young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 He's undoubtedly one of the more naturally talented midfielders playing at this level, but for whatever reason, he seems to have been incapable of really flourishing in the way that he should. A player who was tracked by Real Madrid as a teenager should be impacting Championship football more than McEachran has thus far. If Bruce thinks he could get the best out of him after seeing him up close whilst on trial, then this could be a shrewd move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
