In the absence of any of the usual faces from the scoresheet this week, it fell to Slovakian Under-21 international Milan Lalkovic to keep the unbroken sequence of at least one Chelsea youngster scoring whilst away on loan this season alive. We begin the latest Loan Report with the Walsall forward. Headliners The past month or so has undoubtedly been Lalkovic’s most productive spell of the campaign to date, with…
The first Loan Report of 2014 begins in familiar form as Patrick Bamford continued the run of a Chelsea loanee scoring in every week of the season to date, but as we enter a month of transfer activity, the prolific hitman is amongst the many who are about to embark upon new challenges. Headliners Bamford’s seventeenth and final goal for Milton Keynes Dons came in the FA Cup away to…
Despite a healthy chunk of Chelsea’s loanees now being on their winter break, the streak of at least one goal being scored in every week of the season to date continued in the post-Christmas period courtesy of a familiar pair of left-footed forwards. Headliners Romelu Lukaku and Patrick Bamford have found the net more than twenty times combined this season and each of them added to their tallies this week…
It’s been quite a few months on the Chelsea loan front. With some two dozen youngsters having been sent out to destinations far and wide in order to continue their development, it’s oftentimes hard to keep track of their progress. At this mid-season juncture, it’s time to take a look at who’s fared well, who hasn’t, and who might be in for a change of scenery this coming January; for…
In the final Loan Report before Christmas, the usual suspects have found themselves making headlines again. As we have for most of the season so far, we begin in the Netherlands… Headliners It’s not often, however, that we’ll feature a left-back scoring twice in a week, but that’s what Patrick van Aanholt did during the past seven days. His first goal was a consolation effort in Vitesse’s 3-1 KNVB Beker…
With no fewer than six players on loan at Vitesse, it stands to reason that those featuring at the Gelredome this season are more likely than most to feature heavily atop the Loan Report on a weekly basis. With two goals and an assist against NAC Breda on Sunday, Lucas Piazon takes centre stage again as he continues to assert himself as the Eredivisie’s player of the season so far….
It’s a Vitesse Arnhem kind of week. Chelsea’s Dutch affiliate club made quite the statement this past Saturday evening when they took on PSV Eindhoven in the marquee fixture of the weekend in the Eredivisie, coming away from the Philips Stadion with an emphatic 6-2 victory. With Blues loanees contributing to every one of the goals, it makes sense to begin with them. Headliners Lucas Piazon, Patrick van Aanholt and…
Another week of loanee action and, as usual, we have some goalscorers to talk about as the total tally for strikes by those temporarily away from Chelsea ticked past the 60 mark… Headliners Romelu Lukaku has been responsible for a fair number of those, and in a week where he has made headlines for what he hasn’t said as much as what he has – and he’s not afraid of…
The first club action after yet another international break saw perhaps the most productive weekend of loanee productivity so far in the 2013-14 season, with no fewer than six goals being scored at home and abroad. Romelu Lukaku, Patrick Bamford, Lucas Piazon and Gael Kakuta all made their marks in impressive individual outings and each deserve a share of the headlines. Headliners Lukaku took centre stage with the marquee game…
A pair of penalties from Thorgan Hazard and Christian Atsu maintained the streak of a Chelsea loanee scoring in every week of the 2013-14 season, and the duo therefore headline the latest installment of the Loan Report. Headliners We begin with Atsu and Vitesse, who finished the weekend as the Eredivisie leaders after a 3-1 win over Utrecht on Saturday night. The Ghanaian played 90 minutes in a central attacking…
