People can draw their own conclusions, but it's looking like no Champions League for AC Milan next season due to a shortage of weaknesses :biggrin:Quote:

Finally, something to work with! Italian football might suit his style of play, it's slower than The Premier League from what i have seen, especially in the final thirds, and players are afforded more time on the ball. Ampadu almost plays a specialist roll, which means that a team has to accommodate him, allow him to drop off, work the spaces between the midfield and defence, he's the 2nd defender in a defensive pairing, decent in possession, decent with time and space. Struggles (in my opinion) when the game is compressed or when the opposition play a high line, he can be guilty of ball watching and losing concentration. A good player in possession, suspect when not.Quote:

He is a good player, and his ability should see him play at a very high level with some success. I also admire him for trying different cultures and European leagues, says something of his character, and he did alright in the world cup, could argue that he came away from it with some credit. One thing that does concern me about his play is that he is one paced at times, when you want to see that second or two of urgency it doesn't seem to materialise, and that could be a telling factor in his development, in fact, i think that it has already, because he can struggle in those moments when he needs to speed his brain up, but like you say, he has improved and matured in that sense, although that's the player he is, and that's why i think that he needs to be accommodated in that sense. He's quite unique, upright, stays on his feet, although not the most mobile responsive-A poor mans Ricky Scimeca....:hehe:Quote:

I watched the Italian cup final this evening. It would be a good move for both club and player if this story has any legs. Fiorentina are great going forward, but they have a few problems in the areas where Ampadu has been very good this season. I can't see him sticking around at Chelsea as they are having a massive clear-out, and a fresh start would probably be in his best interests anyway.Quote:

Amarabat certain to leave Fiorentina so possibly a replacement.Quote:

It would also be another fantastic move as far as the scenery is concerned. What a jammy b@stard he is :biggrin:Quote:
