You are Wales Bales and I claim my £5

Because I rate Ampadu? It's probably the only thing WB and I agree on and even I think he overrates him

Some of the biggest names in football weren't where he is at 22, and I think his next move will be crucial, so I am reserving judgment until we see a bit more of him in a team that has some decent players. If he flops after that, I will be the first one to call him out!

Do you mean you are reserving judgement until you see more of him in a team that has better players to cover his mistakes?

No.

Re: Ethan Ampadu...

When ingurlund won the World Cup in 1966, Alf Ramsey said something like “Martin Peters is 10 years ahead of his time”, meaning that, he (Martin) could see a pass, but his fellow players didn’t have the nous to make the run.

I see Ethan a bit like that, wanting to make the pass but nobody seeing the space.

Obviously, others might say, “no, it’s a shit pass”

It’s all about opinions

At the time, Martin was 23

Ampadu likes to fire off an early pass with some pace on the ball, but I could see a lot of the Spezia players were more focussed on trying to control the ball instead of thinking 2 or 3 moves ahead. The better teams spend months on these things, doing daily drills until they get it right, but you need the right type of players to begin with.

Re: Ethan Ampadu...

How? What's going to happen? Some mysterious guru coach who can make him do the things that should come naturally, and then tweaked in terms of composure, concentration etc? In my opinion, coaching can bring only so much to a player. We have watched enough football to see that certain players, in fact lots of players, make the same mistakes time after time, and they work on it as well. They just can't get it for some reason, some players can't be taught certain aspects of a game because they don't have the ability to understand where they're going wrong, it's not their fault. I can't see Ampadu improving a great deal. He will always have it in him to switch off a loose concentration in my opinion, or put himself in poor positions. His thinking is his problem in my opinion, although he is naturally gifted.

I don’t believe that he is a world beater nor that Man City would be interested in him…
But could we agree that Pep might be able to improve him?

Perhaps Spezia should give you a call so you can show their coaches where they are going wrong.

Yeah, but you are more like Alf Garnett than Alf Ramsey.
