Villa have Hausa, Konsa, Mings, Chester and are about to unveil Engels so 5 CBs. So he won’t go there to play CB.

A part from Hourihane, Grealish and McGinn they’ve also signed Gardner and Jota and about to unveil Douglas Luiz. Plus they have a few others like Lansbury.

really can’t see Ampadu getting much game time

I reckon there is a greater chance of finding Maddie than Ampadu getting game time at Villa.

How mobile is he? I read that Cocu likes to use three mobile midfielders and no recognised defensive midfielder as such. Also makes me fear for any small hope of seeing Thorne return to the starting line up.

Lampard tried that at the start too.  Three midfielders rotating. 

Lasted until about October, when he clocked that midfielders at this level lack the all-round ability to make it work successfully.

If you're mobile AND can tackle AND can pass AND can score AND have the football brain to make it work... then you're in the Prem.

I'd play exactly where Sarri was playing him: left-sided CB. 

He's got a better passing range than Tomori and, despite his size, is an absolutely competent defender. Would be an unreal signing and would love to see him next to Keogh. ?

Ampadu was rated higher than the likes of Tomori, James and others in the Chelsea team last season. Chelsea fans like him more than a lot of their senior players. He would be a huge coup. He’s already one of Wales’ best players and the lack of game time could prove to be key. 

I personally don’t think he would have any issues getting into many Premier League team and he’s another £30-40m player to Chelsea like Mount, Hudson-Odoi. 

This would be an unreal signing.

If he goes to a Champ club it will be us IF Cocu wants him - cant see any other Champ club beating us to him if we do want him which i'd be shocked if we didn't.

"So Frank, we think getting Ethan some time in the championship should do him some good - Know any teams in that league?"

Isn’t this just wishful thinking though?

Chelsea playedr struggling to get game time = possible Derby player.

He was on our maybe list last year under Lampard but that never materialised.

Is this just a case of nothing real happening so we’re making stuff up?

Lampard said last season that we put a case to take Ampadu on loan and Sarri wanted him for the first team. He reiterated that in his latest press conference.

Except Frank has said it’s likely he’ll be going out on loan.

That looks a solid side, i would probably swap Lawrence with Holmes though. I think Lawrence is a No10 but Holmes works Harder and makes better decisions.
