George Saville
George is one of the players that really opens up the loan debate, at 20 years of age he is perfectly eligible for U21's league so was he better out on loan? Firstly lets cover his season. He spent the entire season on loan at league 1 Brentford and helped them to win promotion to the Championship. Out of the 52 games that Brentford played this season Saville started 37 of them and coming on a substitute in another 7. From his deep midfield role he managed to score a respectable 4 goals and picked up a total of 10 yellow cards. He was a big part of the team and I am sure that Brentford are very glad to have had Saville with them this season.George has done what was asked of him. He has gone on loan and established himself a key member of the team he was at. What will happen for George now? The ideal scenario now will be for him to return to Brentford next season and keep his place in the team as a Championship team and help them to establish themselves as a Championship club, hopefully that is what all parties will want and the Championship is certainly where George needs to be next season. So was George better out on loan? Game time he got similar games at minutes as what Swift and Baker did in the U21's but you would think the competitive nature of the League campaign that George played in will serve him better than what he would have got staying at Chelsea and that is where the U21's cannot measure up to a loan, obviously the loan has to be a success like Saville's was.Todd KaneFor Todd Kane it has been an unusual season. Having established himself as a first team regular at Blackburn last season it was ideal for him to return and keep his place and progress his ability to become a more integral part of that team. Unfortunately things did not quite go as planned. Out of the 49 games that Blackburn Rovers played this season Todd only started 24 of those which is only half of the games and only made an an additional 4 appearances as a substitute. He scored 2 goals this season and picked up 6 yellow cards. Todd featured as a started all the way until December when he lost his place and was not able to reclaim it with only a few appearances here and there without a regular run in the team.So from December onward this loan move was not how Chelsea or Todd would have wanted it, with Blackburn having a much better season and pushing for a play off place Todd really needed to keep his place in that team and he was unable to. A return to Blackburn would seem unlikely now and he needs to find a new club to try and get into in the Championship to progress himself. That is unless Chelsea feel he has hit his level where it may be time to allow him to move on and settle at a club for good. At only 20 however it may be a season too soon for that call.
