Saw him play a few times for QPR last season and he was outstanding, played a very similar role there to Francis when he was with us, got forward, made runs with the ball and created things.
QPR fans liked him but did think he had a bit of an "attitude" at times. Not sure if the Chelsea hierachy think he has a future there, but...
I think he was more the "1" in a 4-3-1-2 formation at QPR which meant he was higher up the pitch and had more of the ball coming to him in space, but can't see us playing that way, or him in that sort of position.
Probably best to send him back perhaps and spend the money/use the loan allocation on someone else?
