Ethan Ampadu

Sat Jan 12, 2019 7:43 pm

‪Today’s game screamed out for him, organisation and control of the midfield, in the air and on the floor. Just what we need, why can’t warnock see it?‬ definitely someone we need to be looking at.

Maybe but I think we need to use the loan for a striker.

How much do you think he'll cost ?

Good option for us for the midfield. I think he would fit perfectly next to gunnar holding with camarassa as 10. I could see ampadu passing controling and bringing the ball forward a lot better than harry arter does. Loan option would be good

Surely to replace Gunnerson.
Arter for me is the first game on the teamsheet.

Wouldn’t cost anything, on loan would be best, invest into a striker for next season aswell then instead of just a long for 6 months and we’re in the same position then in 6 months

Definitely for gunnarson, he wins so many battles in the air for wales and that’s something we don’t do, gunnarson and arter aren’t the biggest CMs along with camarasa, be nice to have some height in the middle. He’s so composed on the ball it’s crazy, a great player, so mature for his age.

I believe Chelsea have said he is part of there squad and not available for loan.

Lets be honest they have probably had enquiries off every team from 10th in the premier league to the bottom of the championship for him

Disagree with you there on gunnarsson. For me hes been excellent this season and todays game, does a lot of things people dont notice imo, tracking back, covering, organising, his positioning and tackling is top class, intelligent playing that defensive midfielder role and is a big reason why we are good enough defensively in this league so far. For me he is better than arter and would be on the teamsheet before arter.

I've been his biggest critic but he has done better than expected. Still think he is a distance behind what's required, all I see is running (usually losing his man) and pointing elsewhere to make up for his mistake.
As for tackling, he hasn't actually make that many tackles, no doubt about it I'd say Arter won the ball back more today.

We must just see things a little differently. Arter works hard and gets stuck in and tackles well but gets booked a lot more than gunnarsson and i see that as because gunnarsson is a cleaner cleverer player and arter is more reckless which isnt ideal. To be fair though we cant fault both of them for the job their doing this season, its other areas we need to improve, ampadu though would be good cover and competition for both of them imo.

I would say Arter gets booked more because he actually tackles and wins the ball more. I've said this for years, gunners presses but rarely wins the ball and the annoying pointing to people to cover his mistakes drives me mad..... Honestly watch it.
