Ampadu is a defender by trade.. who will also play defensive midfield.
He is or was one of Exeter city's top talents to come through there youth system. His dad Quarme who now believe it or not is part of Thierry Henrys Monaco coaching staff always wanted him to stay at exeter and get to a level of first team football..
Anyway the kids talents woudknt keep the big boys away.. Chelsea snapped him up and will be paying exeter compo through the courts..
I just find it a really weird signing. Why go to the second tier of German football to find a goalie when there's plenty of good ones in English football..
I'm in too minds... he works hard, he frustrates, it's quite clear he can't play as a front 2.. If we let him leave in Jan I wouldn't be devastated but he's atleast trying unlike some
January a big window for Smith.
A chance to put a stamp on the team for the first time.. it's obvious we are short at the back..
Players I think that we could let go..
Lansbury, Whelan/ Jedinak
Quality in abundance, star player really. His form had dipped but us fans often expect him to be the match winner alone, that's very Steve Bruce. Seeing him push forward infront the forwards was pleasing..
