I think he could be a top CB if nurtured properly. That's fair enough. Let's hope you are right, and I am wrong. DDA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kante 1,643 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 RE: Ethan, I also have to disagree. Everything I have seen from Ethan tells me he is a very good passer for a CB/DM and is also highly composed for his age. Further, he also seems to read the game well and doesn't get dragged out of position too much. However, there are concerns with him but I would list these as: 1) Injury record - looking like he could be another RLC. 2) Height/build - think he will have to play DM (or a middle CB in a back 3) in the PL unless he bulks up/has a late growth spurt. I say this as he is quite slight and reckon he would suffer similar issues that afflict AC and Tomori. 3) Tackling- lunges in a bit. This I am not so concerned about as it is teachable skill that should come with experience, however he will go for it in a 50/50 more than he should.

Blues Forever 1,232 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Lyon won't stop Houssem Aouar, wanted by City and Juve from leaving. The midfielder's exit, planned for this summer is gonna take longer than expected, this however isn't enough yet for Lyon to try to keep him.

The problem I have with Ampadu is that his career has stagnated over the last couple of seasons. If he had built on the game time he got under Conte when he first came here, he could very well be part of the first team squad now. When it was obvious last season that he wouldn't get game time under Sarri, he should have been loaned out in the January window, even to a Championship club and built up game time. This season at Leipzig has been similar to last season at Chelsea. It's a similar situation to what Loftus-Cheek found himself in for a couple of years. That example however is a good one to prove that he's still young enough to go out on loan for a season or two, play regular football and come back into the squad. Even a loan to the Championship next season would be fine if he plays regularly. He needs to develop and he won't get that being fourth or fifth choice in a couple of positions here next season.

But a long ball to him with his pace could work out.In German national team, he was used as a CF, but did not perform, so Löw started using him as a winger and he has the pace for it. I am very sceptical about Werner playing CF. Would prefer Havertz because I know he can play CF. Using a not proven CF as our main striker is not what I want.I am sick of wasting money on CFs. Higuain, Falcao, Morata and Torres. Gesendet von meinem SM-G920F mit Tapatalk communicate and Atomiswave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
