He's having a fantastic loan this year, really hope we don't sell him

Where's Ampadu? Felt like I looked for ages...(found him, far right middle)

Funnily that's the kind of chart @Argo would use to tell everyone how great CHO is...now it's saying Rice is a must buy. His tools are working against him.

That's a shame, there's lots of deadwood that could be offloaded in the squad, hope there's a buy back clause

Another one where you feel like he could have been anything, but it just didn't work out. 

Loan to Leipzig should have been perfect for him but unlike others Christensen, Mount, James etc. he just couldn't make the big jump while on loan. 

 
Don’t think we “desperately” need to sell ampadu but at the same time don’t see much room for him — or see Potter viewing it that way, I should say. Which, in my opinion, sucks because I like and rate Ethan. Would think he could be a good squad player for us with his ability to play CDM and CB at a high level.

since we are need of central midfielders, letting Ethan go wouldn’t be the smartest, but might be what’s best for him and his career.

i think we will see CHO, Pulisic, Ziyech, Jorginho, Azpi, Mendy, and Ruben all leave the club by August 31. I imagine there are others that I’m not thinking of at the moment that will be looking to get out. Ultimately, the hang up will be the wages some of these players are on.

They have an option to buy. He will likely be 100% book value profit which we desperately need.

Looking at the data, would have been smarter to have kept him at the end of the season than an injury prone Zakaria on double the fee, and most likely 2-3x the wages. At 22 he is still way off his peak, and has been growing with each loan move.

Wow! As mentioned further up in the thread really impressive to see Rice at a relegation threatened team outperforming the like of Pedri, Tchouameni, Zubimendi etc. 

Wonder what @Gol15 opinion on this is?

Reactions: dkw
There is some hype in Serie A about him but I got the impression posters on here are not convinced. Yet he fits the profile...

Never seen him play tbh. Can someone explain what are the doubts?

I've always liked Ampadu, expectational passing range. He was unfortunately never gonna get game time at CB when we had the likes of Ake, Christensen, Chalobah already with us and neither at DM with Kante and Jorginho. The loans we sent him out on didn't help his development either to be honest.

I think it's best to sell him for his sake, I don't see him ever getting a real chance with us. 

 
Works hard but he's solid at best. Can't see a future for him at Chelsea. He did well for Spezia though they were relegated. It looks like Udinese are interested in him.

Did he ever work on not diving in to a tackle, has that gotten any better while in Italy?

 
He's Always Had The Skillset To Play As A DM, But Teams Always Play Him At CB

Be Gutted To See Him Go But We Ain't Gonna Keep Him Or Play Him As A DM

 
I don't think we should sell him. He's only 22 yet he has 3 full seasons of top flight football under his belt. Not to mention one of the best passing statistics for a CB in Europe.

Could see us regretting it if we sell and he goes on to become a star

I hope we hang on to him, but I would imagine he's fed up of being shoved out on loan without ever getting a look-in.

I know he can make rash challenges, but his competitive, pretty aggressive attitude is not something I would see as a negative
