Ed002
Thanks for your response re Rice.
Do you think the club will look to sign him in the future or will they try and fill the slot with Ampadu?
They seem very similar players with one having a lot more experience obviously.
Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - It depends on space being available and other matters. They would like to use the players they have where possible.}

Ed I’m hoping you’re comment there means Ampadu will be given a chance dependant on how well he does at Sheffield United?

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - THe club are keen for him to do well and to use him going forward.}

Thanks Ed that’s fantastic news I’m a Welshman and a massive fan of Amps. Hopefully we can use that money elsewhere on a commanding central defender 🤞🏻.

Ed002 is it possible and any chance we could recall ampadu in January? Thanks.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No, that won't be happening.}

Ed002 thanks for the great news both on ampadu and rice. Hope we get upamecano next summer to replace Silva and retain him for another year to ease transition.

Why Upamecano? He has the awareness of Rudiger. Think people just rate him cause he’s strong. He’s a good player but not as good as made out. I’d rather Ibrahima Konate all day, every day.

Given Silva is only a short term solution we need to try and bring in a more experienced CB.
We certainly don't want to sign raw kids from the Bundeslinga when we have the likes of Sarr already on our books.
Having said that it's difficult to think of an experienced CB that's available who would improve the squad substantially.

I agree Turvey but I think Konate is the closest thing to Van Dijk around and he’s very composed for his age he’d be a perfect compliment for Zouma and they would also have that french connection.

If I was to say experienced it’d be Gimenez but his muscle injuries continue to be worrying and he’s not great on the ball so him and Zouma would make our worries worse.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I really like Konate myself but I believe he has missed a fair bit of football through injury as well.}

30 Oct 2020 13:14:41
Agree Ed I may be wrong but I think that was just one big injury so I’m hoping that’s done with. As with Gimenez he has had muscle problems for years now and only averages around 25 games a season. That’s not good enough for a team wanting to compete at top level.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I am pretty sure it is long-running with Konate as I had to put off his player profile a while back as he was out injured so I couldn't watch him play. He is very young still though, so it might merely be growth-related.}

Let’s hope so 🤞🏻 Love to see him sign for us.

What about David Alaba on a free next summer? He is a very commanding CB. Play him next to big Kurt so far him and Silva are working out nicely 👌.

Silva still has two more years in him, I don’t want him going anywhere whether he’s short term or long term, he will play at Chelsea until his legs can no longer carry him.
