Ethan Ampadu

Yikes not much of a profit on what we bought him from Exeter from. Doing Leeds a favor here....

The guys been relegated 3 years in a row and no premier league club has any interest. 7m is a big price. 

 
The relegations are down to the rubbish clubs he was loaned to. Regardless, a very good price and he finally goes to a decent team with a decent manager. Best of luck to him.

Maybe, but if he was an outlier in those teams he would have eventually got picked up by a team at a higher level, if not after the first time defiently the second.

 
Best of luck to him. Leeds need someone who knows how to defend. Will be interesting to see what Daniel Farke does with them.

 
Well done for making sure to mention Leeds are a championship side there.

Good luck to him, always did well for us when he played.

Did we desperately need that £7m? 

Good for him anyway, gets some stability.

That was my thinking also, with Fofana out he could have provided cover along with Chalobah with both players capable of playing multiple roles. Assess the situation in the summer and if we need to sell either or both, we would have boosted their values. 
The £7m for a Welsh international with 47 top level starts, CL & Europa league is a bad deal when you consider Man City just sold a kid with 27mins PL experience for £10.5m potentially rising to £15m

I feel it's a mix of that keeper being the star man at Bolton and Kompany knowing him that helped in this situation.

If we cashed in on the hype with Ampadu in 2019 we could have probably got a similar price.

At the very least we should have kept him until deadline day just in case we can't get our midfield signings done for whatever reason. I'm really not confident on Caicedo being done smoothly. 

Let's look at worse case scenario and assume he performs badly. He's still a Welsh intentional, young and has experience. We will have offers for £7m next summer as well based purely on that alone.
