Ampadu would be a good loan (not because he’s Welsh, chill)

Sat Jan 11, 2020 6:04 pm

This isn’t a specifically “Welsh” thing, although I only know of Ampadu’s quality because I’ve seen him play for Wales, obviously. I don’t want us to sign the Wales squad lol. I’m only suggesting that he would be good for us purely because I love Watching Wales International football, and Ampadu has always looked the best player in almost every sense (in regards to his position anyway). He has maturity beyond his years, he has leadership qualities that would fit him in with the Cardiff squad very well, and he has always looked classy when I’ve watched him play for Wales. He has only 2 appearances for Leipzig this season, so wether his loan ends soon naturally or if Chelsea or Leipzig cancel the loan due to lack of game time, Why don’t we go after somebody like him? In my opinion we should be playing somebody like Ampadu in front of the defence instead of somebody like Pack who personally I think has dodgy positioning, is slow and gets caught on the ball way too many times for a deep playmaker (from what I’ve seen of Pack that seems to be his role).

Thoughts? I know it’s unlikely to happen obviously, but If he was available I bet it would be completely possible to sign him on loan if the manager wanted him enough (which I don’t think he would due to his misplaced love and reliance of Pack).

Neil please sign him. Show some insight/foresight. Build a team that shows not only you care BUT know what you/we want

I don’t think we can, isnt he At Leipzig for the full season? But, boy would I love to see him come to us, I really enjoy watching him in a red shirt.

If he were available, if he were willing to come here and if his manager felt that being here would benefit his development as a player then of course there is no way he would not improve our team.

That's three very big "if's" though!

He would be a great addition, though I think as likely as Camarasa.
