Assuming you haven’t been living on the moon for the past few months you might have noticed we have a bit of a wing back/full back crisis going on. Over the past couple of years we’ve seen two of our youth right backs flourish in the premier league (well, three if you wanna include James) and become key players for their team. 

Lamptey and Livramento were sold on the cheap due to their contract coming up and them feeling ready to play premier league football which has proved to be the correct decision for both of them.

Hypothetically, if the opportunity arose in the summer to sign only one of these back (we’ll assume for roughly the same money) which one would you pick?

I think they’re both fantastic players and at such a young age they’ll only get better, but for me I’d pick Lamptey, what a player, his speed is unbelievable, great crosser and a very good defender to boot.

Livramento for me, Lamptey too much of a dwarf for Chelsea, basically a midget and at the very top level of the game these kind of players are rarely seen in top teams for a reason. In addition to this, Lamptey commits fouls quite easily and his tackling a bit suspect in general. Only nitpicking here though 😅, both are top quality just not as perfect as Reece James; as supported by our scouts and academy higher ups.

Assuming Reece is first choice RWB, then the only way either would come back is if they were planned for use in a different position. They both left because they were unhappy with the prospect of being squad fillers. With that in mind Tariq might be the better option of the 2 as I could see him being very effective as a winger instead of a wing back/full back.

Good question. Pretty hard to decide right now IMO. I assume Lamptey would be a better fit because of his offensive contributions, but let's wait until the end of the season. They are pretty much on a similar level.

Tino is brilliant offensively too and before he got injured, there was one point where he was in the top 5 for dribbles attempted and was up in the top 5 list for most fouled against, which is amazing. He is bigger also as well, which is why I slightly prefer Tino as he is able to deal with aerial duels better. Worth noting also that Tino often played as a winger for our youth teams as well as Lamptey.

Livramento tore his ACL ☹️

Really sad but I would suspect elevation from U23 football to being played game after game in the PL would put significant hitherto stress  on his body .

Its a long journey back so wish him well
