He's as Welsh as John Barnes is English
In fact he's more Welsh than John Barnes is English who wasn't born anywhere near the UK

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! :biggrin:
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.
He's gonna run the show tonight!
He’s poor tonight so far
wont be long until we are back in the 150 rankings
I suggested in this thread, Ampadu could do OK at some mid table club in a top division in a country that wasn't as intensive or quick as the Premier League.
Can I retract that suggestion please?
