I've said it once, and I'll say it again. Ethan was all hype, he won't be a top 4 player. However Chelsea paid peanuts for him and it's worth the gamble.
Presumably this is linked to his recent "growing pains" niggles and is nothing more chronic.that’s what the tv coverage said..Ampadu out with a back injury so replaced by a top notch centre half who hadn’t been available for the first leg.
It only makes sense to me if this is part of a long-term plan for Leipzig to sign him at the end of the loan.This now means that Ethan’s loan club Leipzig will, barring a miracle result next week, have gone further in the Champions League than his parent club Chelsea. As well as Leipzig being higher up the Bundesliga than Chelsea are in he Premiership. A strange way to seek more game time...
Said this a while ago, Leipzig’s performance this year is no shock, what were Chelsea thinking? Weren’t Villa supposed to be interested in the summer? Would have been a better place for him to develop surely...This now means that Ethan’s loan club Leipzig will, barring a miracle result next week, have gone further in the Champions League than his parent club Chelsea.

Maybe, and I hope so. Don’t get the praise Lampard received at the beginning of the season from the press, he was forced in to playing the youngsters with their transfer embargo (because of their dodgy dealing with youngsters). We will see in the summer what he is truly about.People who go on about Chelsea's past have to remember that they have a different manager now in Lampard.
I get the impression he is very much in favour of bringing young players into the team quickly.
I think Ampadu fits the bill of the kind of player he is willing to give a chance to show what they can do in the Prem. He is still only 19, there is plenty of time for him.
