Chelsea's Josh McEachran is expected to complete a season long loan deal to Nottingham Forest by the end of July. He has rejected both Leeds United and Fulham to work with Forest boss Stuart Pearce again.

Would be a good addition if true. Very talented young lad but not performed great on previous loan spells. I think it would be a great signing as I believe Pearce will get the best out of these young players and get them playing with real passion. Do you know where this has come from ed? I.e reliable source

{Ed034's Note - havnt seen anything saying this but I do believe we are interested in him

Don't know where this all comes from. but don't care as long as it's true!

Again a good bitof business. Very good player who looks aftethe ball and ikes to play good football.

Really happy with the way the squad is shaping up. McEachran would be a great addition to the squad and nice to see players deciding to join us over others. Defo the SP influence

I agree another good cog in the Forest Wheel if true

Would be a great addition to the squad, Chelsea rate him and gave him a 5 year contract, I think he would be great to cover ried and lansbury in the middle

Having seen the thorne news I would not be surprised to see derby make a move as they are both similar players. Hope we can land him

8.) 24 Jul 2014
The last thing Chelsea would want is for him to come here and sit on our bench
He needs to be playing and getting experience.

I'd imagine we will be playing three in the midfield and McEachran will offer competition for Lansbury and Vaughan at the base of a 4231.

McEachran is technically sound and a clever player but I think he has struggled to impose himself on games in his previous loan stints. Hopefully, a year wiser, he can perform well if he joins us at the City Ground.

Looks like we dodged a bullet with the George Thorne rumour too - He's just ruptured his ACL during his first pre-season game for Direby and he's out for 9-months! (Tried to post it on here as a rumour but Ed wouldn't allow it :)

{Ed034's Note - I put it on but on the 'other forest' page

I remember ray wilkins saying 2 or 3 young players in the chelsea youth team have a billy big balls attitude. they have the flash car and they think they have made it!!hope he wasnt talking about young josh, could possibly have meant chalobah. good potential but that's all it is. hope stuart gets hold of him, and educates the lad.

I personally don't think this would be a good signing. stinks off a lad whose done nothing but been given everything as he earns over a £1.5m a year already. looks decent but can imagine a Chalobah effect thinking he's too good already and does he have the hunger to battle for Forest to get into the prem!. didn't do much last season for Wigan tbh!.

Leeds never put in offer, so pretty difficult to reject them
