The Loan Report: May 12-18

May 18, 2014

It’s the final Loan Report of the 2013-14 season, and the streak is over. In every single week of the club campaign stretching as far back as the first days of August, a Chelsea loanee has scored a goal. More than thirty players have combined for over forty different loan deals and 123 goals but with fewer than a one third of that tally left in action over the past…

The Loan Report: May 5-11

May 11, 2014

The season may be winding down and the overall number of Chelsea loanees continues to dwindle with campaigns wrapping up across Europe, but the goalscoring streak that has been alive since the opening weekend back in July is alive and kicking. Thorgan Hazard and Romelu Lukaku took it into a 38th week over the past seven days and we begin with the irrepressible Belgian duo. Headliners Hazard has been terrific…

May 4, 2014

We’ve reached Week 37 of the 2013-14 club football season and thanks to a couple of Belgians and an unlikely Mexican, the streak of Chelsea loanees scoring in each and every one of them continues. We start our look back over the last seven days of action with Thorgan Hazard. Headliners With the Belgian title playoffs reaching their zenith, every point matters for the younger Hazard and his Zulte Waregem…

April 27, 2014

The finish line is within sight as far as the 2013-14 season goes, but even in this 36th week of the campaign the loanee goal streak continues to stand as Thorgan Hazard struck his fifteenth goal of the season and the 118th overall by a Chelsea player featuring elsewhere. We start with him in Belgium. Headliners The younger Hazard had something of a mid-season slump following a tremendous end to…

The Loan Report: April 14-21

April 21, 2014

An extended Easter weekend edition of the Loan Report hands over the headlines to a trio of Englishmen who have come through the ranks at Chelsea and forged solid professional careers from them. All defensively-minded, two of them found the scoresheet to extend the streak into a 35th week, whilst another secured the first promotion of his fledgling time in the game. Headliners The first contribution went to Sam Hutchinson,…

The Loan Report: April 7-13

April 13, 2014

It’s an Eredivisie-heavy Loan Report this week as despite some disappointing results for both Vitesse Arnhem and NAC Breda, Chelsea loanees at both clubs found the scoresheet to help extend the unbroken streak of scoring this season to a 34th week. We begin in Arnhem. Headliners Vitesse haven’t enjoyed the best of form in recent weeks and four games without a win had not only damaged their Champions League hopes,…

The Loan Report: March 31 – April 6

April 6, 2014

Thirty-three weeks of the 2013-14 club football season have passed and every single one of them has featured at least one goal by a Chelsea loanee. Last week’s six-goal extravaganza would have been hard to match, but the assortment of young Blues plying their trade around the world certainly tried their best and weighed in with four more to take the running tally to 109 overall. Headliners Romelu Lukaku arguably…

The Loan Report: March 24-30

March 30, 2014

It was quite the week for Chelsea’s loanees, with half a dozen goals scored, the odd assist, and a couple of important seasonal landmarks reached in what has been a rather sensational campaign on the loan front. We begin with the man with more goals than anybody else, Patrick Bamford. Headliners Bamford has been front and centre in this weekly report for much of the season and was this week…
