Ethan Ampadu

Is he playing in defence or midfield? I could Google this but... good to keep the discussion alive!

Mostly on the left of their 3 man defence, which for them mean plenty of freedom to bomb forward.

He ended up being the one chosen to replace the injured O'Connell.

 
The Blades fans wanted shot of him not long ago, but he has really picked up this year and they are raving about him now.

Thanks, mate. Sounds promising. Our squad looks quite well set up for an attacking 3-4-3. 

 
So, a bit of a hit and miss season for Ethan - but do we think there is a place for him on our squad next year?

He is not at the level where he commands a first team place, so the question is, would it be better to have him around as a utility player who can fill in and play a role wherever needed in defence or midfield, or is it better to loan again in the hope he will kick on?

Not an easy loan move for a kid, going to the worse team in the league, Brewster has struggled there too. A another loan move would be likely, hopefully in a better team this time. I still like Ampadu, playing 3 at the back gives him a better chance of getting into our team.

 
I did like what I saw of Ampadu the few times he played for us, so I’m not writing him off after a season in the worst team of the league and playing a football so primitive. I’d like to see him in a team that plays similar style football to us like Brighton tries. And, if Gilmour is not on TT’s plans for next season (it would be a shame), also a loan to Brighton would be beneficial.

 
He's another one like RLC for me ... looks like he should be superb, but no-one really knows what his best position is ... a couple more loans and then sold is what the next 2-3 years have in store most probably ...

 
I really like the lad but he doesn't exactly stand out enough to fit the current Chelsea team.

 
Really never thought Ampadu was good enough, still don't see anything special. But don't want to write anyone off. 

 
Tricky one..kid has bags of potential and could be a very good player. But hes had a dreadful season in a dreaful team. Im sure Tuchel could get a tune out of him as a squad player, but after this season, its given me major doubts as to whether he will make the grade.

 
The first time I saw hiM was in a game at Exeter where he represented them against our youngsters in the EFL trophy. He was the best player on the pitch by a country mile 

Think far too many are basing his performance for a poor PL team. Don’t forget he has played over 22 times for Wales

At Sheffield Utd he is playing in the back four his best position and the one he occupies for Wales is a midland then for me it’s a s a holding midfielder.

He is 20 years old and will be a far more rounded player having been playing regularly and in a very challenging environment.

Don’t write him off just yet

 
He's still young enough for me to believe he has a future here.

Always thought we had a good player on our hands with him. Just needs to keep accumulating game time wherever he is. I think he'll be loaned again next season.

He'll benefit from another loan (and - hopefully - a good Euros with Wales this summer), but I also think he'd be a good option to provide much-needed CM strength in depth, along with Gilmour. The problem is, like Billy, he just wouldn't play enough.

 
Finally made his debut for Venezia last night as a first half substitute, and got 52 minutes playing time. Hopefully he did enough to impress the manager and get a run in the team ...
