What's new

Ethan Ampadu

Wales didn't concede a goal in the 2 games and he played both of them. I wouldn't want him to go because at this point I think he deserves a chance over Christensen that has failed to perform for years and under multiple managers.

Sounds like he's going on loan too Sheffield United.

If he plays thats a good move i think.

Im not sure it is tbh, unless its to play in midfield. 

Sheffield United play 3 at the back, and even then it is quite unorthodox with the right and left centre back having licence to join the attack. 

Its not really a system that is close to ours, so i would prefer him to play somewhere that uses a back 4. 

If he is in midfield, then it makes a little more sense, but Sheffield United bought Sander Berge in January for a club record fee, so you would expect him to start more often than not.

 
Very good loan on paper. Would have preferred a team that plays 4 at back but... Hope he gets to play there.

 
Sheffield United were a good team last season, have a decent manager and actually played some good football (mainly against us!). Hopefully they don’t suffer second season syndrome and Ethan can get some much needed minutes on the pitch.

Done deal. Be very interesting to see what position he plays. 

 
If Wilde actually plays him and at CB this could be an excellent move.

     More like it will be very interesting to see if he plays. I dont know who the retard is that keeps on sending Ampadu on loans to fully established teams. What he needs now is game time and i would honestly have preferred him to go to a team fighting relegation but guaranteeing him 90 mins instead of him just adding squad depth to Sheffield utd. I see this as thensame as his leipzig loan . He will be a sub for Egan just like he was for Upamencano

I'm also not sure exactly what he will make of this. Didn't he say that he wanted to stay and fight for a place in the squad. If this is true and it were me I would take this as a direct snub.

 
Maybe Lampard was assured Rice is coming and that's why Ampadu had to go out on loan?

 
Good club, good manager. He will learn a lot, far  more if he can get in to the team.

And no disrespect intended but if he cannot then he would not have been much use to us as the blades aims are lower than ours.

 
Bad move. The blades had an elite D last season, it will be hard for him to get some minutes. Also if we send him away with what we have now in our defense, what would he do at Chelsea when we buy better players than Rudiger, Zouma and Christensen. 

Obviously Ampadu's career in Chelsea is over

I would say that is more likely if one of Kova, Kante or Jorginho had gone.

As it is it seems more likely Frank is happier with Gilmour than Ampadu as his forth after those three and decided he would rather have, or is stuck with, Christensen, Rudiger and Tomori after Silva and Zouma.

You haven’t had one positive thing to say about Chelsea’s business this entire window and have posted some frightfully outlandish opinions. If you think Ampdu’s career in Chelsea is over, then I’m fully confident it is just beginning.

That made me laugh.  No way his career his over.  He needs some experience.  Don't disagree with your points on Sheffield's defense last season and perhaps he is better than some of our error prone players, but they are still grooming him for the future.  Doesn't change the fact I'd like to see him in a Chelsea shirt, but it will come.
