Jay Dasilva yet to go anywhere on loan. QPR, Bolton and Derby linked and even sounds like there's an outside chance he'll stay at Chelsea and get some game time.
I very, very much doubt he will play for Chelsea this season, hasn’t been part of any pre-season games with Sarri.
He needs a Championship loan and am surprised that Derby haven’t taken him already. Would be interesting to see where he ends up, just wish he could’ve came back to us for this season, no matter how unlikely that was going to happen.
If Page stays fit we don't need a left back. I know that's a big if, but all things being equal he's had his injury problems for a while.
more important is a midfield - one that includes someone who can create chances, one that can take set pieces, and a winger or two that can actually cross a ball.

We have zero cover for Page though, save for Mascoll who's a kid.
In midfield we have a couple of extra players at least

I don’t think it is that unlikely. Derby showed early interest but backed out and I think his height is considered a serious problem. No one else seems to be showing an interest and I personally believe that he will only ever make it to the top as a left sided midfielder as I think his height will always count against him. This gives us every chance of signing him.

JDS could easily play in front of Page as a midfielder anyway

Derby backed out of loaning him because Lampard prefers their own young left back Max Lowe after seeing him in pre season. Believe he was on loan at Shrewsbury at the back end of last season.
He won't get game time at Chelsea for a while yet, if ever.
I heard he wasn't even training with the first team this summer and I don't believe he was on their pre season tour but could be wrong about that one because I know the top clubs take huge squads usually.
If no one else takes him (and that's a real possibility at this point), there's no reason why we couldn't go back and ask Chelsea about him for another season.
Getting little Jay back would be the signing of the summer I think and most definitely could play him and Page in the same side.
He hasn’t been involved at all with the Chelsea pre-season, not once, and has been training with their under 23s.
Maybe the longer it goes on without him going out on loan, the more chance we do have. Right now I doubt it, but what business that would be if we could. Let’s just hope Bowyer, Jackson, and Gallen have thought and spoken about it.

Bows seemed to like him and he knows he is respected by the fans. Sometimes it dawns on players that a club is a perfect fit. Miss the boat and your career can be crap. He should be pushing for it, not looking at it as an option if nothing better turns up. Second choice at a Championship club is not progress.

Maybe Derby don’t need him. It’s not just about how he’s is rated, but the options clubs already have in his position.

Yeah of course, it is was more for the fact that Derby’s coaching staff will know all about Jay so it seemed a logical loan this season, considering they have taken other Chelsea players too. But if they already have players in that position, it would be pointless for them and for Jay.
Would be extremely happy if we managed to get him back. A team of: Phillips; Solly, Bauer, Pearce, Page; Fosu, Pratley, Aribo, Dasilva; Taylor, Vetokele. - probably overall better than last season, certainly up front, albeit missing Forster-Caskey is huge.

Not that we stand a chance of getting him back

Indeed, you can imagine him thriving in Europe
