Ethan Ampadu

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 ...

He's only just arrived. His agent sent him to Vicenza by mistake.

 
Continues to look a class act for Wales. Outstanding in the last three matches v Ukraine, Belgium and The Netherlands, the first at RCB, the latter two at CM.

Wales online player ratings for last night in Rotterdam:

"

Ethan Ampadu - 7 - STAR MAN

Snuffed out Lang when the Dutchman was about to pull the trigger. Pulled the strings and drove on, also mopping up when required. Appears to grow in stature with every match. Past two games in midfield have surely given Page something to think about long term? "

Did well at CB out in Italy by all accounts, so I hope TT will reward him by giving him a proper chance in the coming season.

 
Definitely the forgotten man. This is the w**ker Steinberg (the twat who wished a career-ending injury on Lamps and mocked Matthew Harding's death) in the Guardian today:

Yet there is so much to do this summer. Chelsea cannot go into the season with their options at centre-back made up of Thiago Silva, who turns 38 in September, and the inexperienced trio of Malang Sarr, Levi Colwill and Trevoh Chalobah, especially if César Azpilicueta is allowed to join Barcelona.

Not saying he is the replacement we need for Rudiger, but he is a very talented player who gets mysteriously overlooked.

 
If we have to go into next season with a centre back quintet of Silva, Chalobah, Colwill, Ampadu and Sarr, I'd certainly have faith in Tuchel being able to come up with a combination in either a 2 or a 3 that was defensively solid.

The prospect of Silva alongside say Colwill/Chalobah/Ampadu has definite shades of the Desailly/young JT partnership for me ...

If we can keep Silva fit it could work (Sarr not included, the guy is out of his depth), only problem is if he has injury issues or worse his "Terry 15/16" or "Carvalho 09/10" type season we're f**ked.

100% agree on Sarr, but maybe Chalobah, Colwill and Ampadu pairings (or trio) might surprise us in Silva's absence. Risky agreed, and also highly unlikely that we won't sign at least one CB, if not two ... !

It's nothing against them as players but has having solely young players in certain positions worked before?

I remember being relieved signing Eto'o and Willian in 2013 because it balanced out a ridiculously young frontline and three behind.

 
Think he could surprise people next season, he has a lot of top flight game time under his belt now for a 21 year old 

 
I'd like TT to give him a go pre-season and see where it leads , I reckon there is a player in there. Do the same with Broja , Colwill and the rest 

we may all be well surprised.

How on earth is that a red, ridiculous. 

Though having watched him for Wales recently he does still have a rash challenge in him, which I hoped he would grow out of.

That is quickly followed by: another manager replaces Tuchel. Have your Twitters ready.
