Yep, hopefully that's the case with McEachran. Suppose it will depend on the formation we play really.
Lots of those type of players start at 10, and move backwards, and end up being quite versatile if they develop well.

first big mistake (to be) made by RDM. He's 34 and has a year left, which means he will be 35 when the contract ends, what's the point?
Also, seems Lucas Piazón will be #31 instead of #35, not sure why he would change it – possibly prefers that number I suppose – but it was on his training kit, so it seems his number's changed, maybe not though.
Talking about youth players, we've signed a 15 year old center back from as cannels for a fee around about 250k
On another note, was just having a look at the 'new' faces in the academy...
Pretty excited to see that I will get to see Ruben-Loftus Cheeck playing. Heard a lot about him. Box-to-Box midfielder with great stamina, work-rate and good pace. Pretty highly-rated so lets see if he is the real deal
Also can see us going to the FA Youth Cup with Musonda playing in behind Feruz similar to the Piazon-Feruz axis we had last season in our winning campaign
Just thought I'd let you know that I have it on very good authority you boys have got Ben Arfa, well, all but a done deal in any case. (Friend out here in France knows his agent quite well). Club had a meeting with him last Tuesday all a bit under the radar, personal terms seem to have been agreed but a deal is yet to be concluded fully with Newcastle yet. Due to be announced before the end of next week, most likely Wednesday I'm told.
Before you ask, no idea why you need him with Hazard and Marin but hey, I'm trusting my source enough to stick 40 quid on it at the bookies, not seen the odds yet.
I know people that like to post this kind of stuff for fun, so I'm not falling for it.
Sky sports reporting we have had a €25 mil bid turned down for Schurrle.
Just what you need. Another winger
If we do sign another winger however, I expect us to get rid of Sturridge.
Possibly... Might sell him to subsidize moves for Schurrle/Modric. Would be money well-spent in my eyes. I like Studge a lot but he is on a hefty contract and moans too much
I dont like his selfishness, and we will be better off without him. Indeed, we can use that money for other targets.
I've seen a bit of Loftus-Cheek and I could see the potential, unfortunately that was his first game back from injury though so he was a bit rusty. Seen him a bit a couple of other times too, but tbh I wasn't paying that much attention to him.
Yep, Musonda will be key. Not sure it's best to describe it as 'Piazon-Feruz axis' as Piazón was usually on the left, cutting in, with Lewis Baker more in the No. 10 position. But that's where Musonda will be, I'd think, so then it will be a Musonda-Feruz axis.
