The Loan Report

It was a case of the usual suspects coming to the fore again this week on the loan front as Patrick Bamford, Thorgan Hazard and Lucas Piazon all found the back of the net again in what has been a very, very good season so far for young Blues plying their trade elsewhere. Headliners Bamford got things rolling this weekend with a quick-fire double for Milton Keynes Dons in their…

Lucas Piazon and Romelu Lukaku scored their first goals for their respective loan clubs this season to continue an impressive streak of goalscoring amongst Chelsea loanees this season. Every week of the 2013-14 campaign to date has seen a young Blue scoring for another club, and this weekend it was the turn of some of the big hitters. Headliners Lukaku started his Everton career where he left off after finishing…

A pair of goalscoring strikers lead the way in the post-international break Loan Report, and whilst Patrick Bamford is a regular feature on these pages by now, it’s time to welcome Stipe Perica to the party. Elsewhere, Thorgan Hazard continues to do what he does best… Headliners Perica, for those unfamiliar with his story, is an 18 year-old Croatian striker signed from NK Zadar during the summer transfer window, before…

Thorgan Hazard and Patrick Bamford continued a fine run of form for Chelsea’s young loanees thus far this season and ensured the continuation of a goal featuring in each edition the Loan Report thus far season. We begin with Bamford’s fine outing at Sunderland. Headliners MK Dons’ trip to the Stadium of Light in the League Cup represented Bamford’s first crack at playing against top-flight opposition and he seized the…

There were goals aplenty for Chelsea’s young loanees this past week as the group continued what has been a very productive start to the 2013-14 season. We begin with Marko Marin and Sevilla. Headliners The little German forward struggled in London last season but has already made himself a firm fan’s favourite at Sevilla and bagged his first competitive goals for the club as they brushed Slask Wroclaw aside 4-1…

Thorgan Hazard has this week’s Loan Report headline all to himself as he netted both of Zulte Waregem’s goals in their 2-0 win over Mons. We kick off the round-up in Belgium. Headliners It’s been an interesting start to the 2013-14 season for the younger Hazard. He started the season with a goal from a spectacular long-range free-kick, before being handed the club captaincy only to see the offer withdrawn…

With the Barclays Premier League and La Liga in Spain yet to get underway, the English lower leagues continue to take the early season spotlight on the loan front. Business is, however, set to pick up from here on out, but it’s been a largely positive start to the season for many young Chelsea youngsters. Headliners Patrick Bamford scored four goals in a little over a dozen appearances in his…

It scarcely seems possible but the new club football season is upon us, and it is therefore time to begin the 2013-14 Loan Report. A slight change of format greets the new campaign; one which will hopefully aid the flow and structure of the weekly review of Chelsea players plying their trade elsewhere. We begin with those to have caught the eye more than most in the last seven days…

The final Loan Report of the 2012-13 season sees us catch up on the few young Chelsea starlets who are for some reason still playing domestic European football in early June, as well as the usual round-up of the two South American based youngsters. Jhon Pírez will rarely be afforded the opportunity to feature as the main man of the week, but the injury-embattled Uruguayan forward seized his moment this…

On a weekend where some of the remaining young Chelsea loanees could have experienced the glory of coming out on the winning side with huge stakes at play, they instead felt the heartbreaking side of football. Nowhere was this more on display than at Wembley Stadium on Monday afternoon, where Nathaniel Chalobah and Watford took on Crystal Palace in ‘football’s most expensive match’, with a place in the Premier League…
