I don't see how he will get game time I rate him more than most of the other youngsters at the club. I would of kept him and got rid of a few others on loan probably another Ake situation I can see him wanting to leave next couple years if he doesn't get a fair chance.

I have a feeling Wilder sees him as a defensive mid who will look to break up counters and fill in at the back when Basham and O'Connell get caught upfield.

 

Ramsdale

 

Basham---Egan---O'Connell

 

Baldock----Norwood---Ampadu----Berge----Stevens

 

McBurnie----McGoldrick

Opened an article and it stated that Ampadu had joined Sheffield Wednesday and I was absolutely fuming. Far too good a talent for that tinpot club. 
 

Thankfully the article rectified itself by stating he had in fact, joined the footballing side of Sheffield. What a place to develop for Ampadu under an excellent manager with a fantastic set up. This is an excellent loan deal for all concerned. 
 

He will also have to work his way into Wilder’s team but I am positive he can do this and has a successful spell there. Really pleased with this.

Lundstram?

I would say that is more likely if one of Kova, Kante or Jorginho had gone.

As it is it seems more likely Frank is happier with Gilmour than Ampadu as his forth after those three and decided he would rather have, or is stuck with, Christensen, Rudiger and Tomori after Silva and Zouma.

I will be sending Gilmour out on loan also. With Havertz onboard we have 8 players for 3 positions, 2 will need to go out if Gilmour is to get any reasonable mins unless there are doubts about RLC staying fit.

If we get either Rice/Soumare that further complicates the issue.

He is more a box to box player than a sitting midfielder. There is also John Fleck who I would expect to rotate with Berge. Lundstram will get games as well, I can see him at times taking Norwoods place and either Ampadu or Norwood playing deep. It depends how offensive the blades wish to be that game and who they are facing.

I like what I’ve seen of Ampadu in central defence. 

I'm the opposite, I think he is pretty poor at cb. I really dislike how rash he is with a tackle. That penalty he gave away against Brighton in the friendly wasn't anything to do with a lack of sharpness, that is just part of Ampadu's game. I don't ever see him making it to the top level if he doesn't cut that out of his game.

Going to be so angry if Ampadu gets left on the bench for the majority of the season

Bad move. The blades had an elite D last season, it will be hard for him to get some minutes. Also if we send him away with what we have now in our defense, what would he do at Chelsea when we buy better players than Rudiger, Zouma and Christensen. 

Obviously Ampadu's career in Chelsea is over

He's 19 years old you weirdo

Whereas to the youth in England they'd interpret it as a man having one hell of a pipe between his legs.

exactly lol

That elite D didn't do much tonight, Ampadu should be pushing for a fair few starts this season.

Apparently played really well tonight against Burnley on the right of the back three. Moved to right wing back for the final ten minutes. 

Think his versatility will see him get plenty of minutes this season.

I hope so, was let down when he didnt play the first game of the season but hoping he's a guaranteed starter throughout the season

We got this lad, chelsea fan too aswell as being vocal. But Frank wants to buy Declan Rice, baffles me to be honest.

Hmm, is this highlights reel supposed to be flattering? Looks flat footed, slow and laboured here.

I thought he looked good there yet it was as a RCB in a back three.

Bit like Rice then

He seems to be playing as the DM for Wales now vs England.

Schooled a good few times by Grealish And eventually booked. 

 

 

The potential is definitely there, I think this loan is already turning out quite good as he's getting a lot of minutes already. Only issue seems to be its a part of a dire sheffield team who are looking like they'll be relegated...

Had the best game i've seen him have against Liverpool. If he keeps that up he should be back as our CDM next season.
