Think you are getting duped by the OP. WB thinks Ethan Ampadu is currently the best defensive midfield player for his age on the planet. Now almost every poster on this board recognises his talent but WB has super recognition having been one of the first dozen posters to see his talents.

Unfortunately for Declan Rice, Chelsea are considering signing him having letting him go as a 14 yr old. Even more unfortunately he would play where Ampadu would if he continued his development. That, apparently makes Chelsea a basket case of a club, whilst Ampadu goes on a sensible loan to Sheff Utd where hopefully he will get his 2nd and subsequent Premier League starts.

Still it's enough for some to track Rice's progress and diss him every time he has a bad game.
