Chelsea outcast Lucas Piazon has criticised the club's loan policy.
Piazon has been owned by the Blues since 2012 but hasn't played for the first team since the year he joined.
The 26-year-old us currently in the midst of his seventh loan spell with Portuguese side Rio Ave.
And he hasn't been impressed with how Chelsea have treated him.
Piazon told Maisfutebol: 'After a certain point the connection is no longer beneficial for both parties.
'At first, I felt really good. I went through the U-23s, got to the first team and, even in the first loans, I felt Chelsea had expectations and interest in me.
'I believed I could come back and have opportunities at any time.
'Later, as time passed, I became just another business for them.
'They send me out on loan with the expectation of selling me and making some money with me. I think that's more or less what they think.'

Piazon was signed by Chelsea because he was a talented kid. However, he hasn't proved himself near good enough at any club. If he's in demand or if he wants to leave, he can make it known to the team management and we will let him go. Chelsea is not the club to hold players hostage. We send our players on loan in the hope that they'll develop and become ready to play at a high level. If you can't perform, you won't get that opportunity to play for the club. That's something Piazon should learn to respect as the standards are quite high here.

I personally don't don't support this loaning stuff but my question , if u can't perform well for other club's to show an interest in signing you while on loan then what makes you think that u can easily break into the Chelsea team
