Ethan Ampadu is the answer to those who want Declan Rice as a CB. His had a tough year but no doubt he can provide the assurance we need being a young 6ft CB who has absolutely bags of potential.

If we are going to buy a CB then it will have to be someone with leadership qualities. Declan Rice is not a CB, he may have been one in his early years but the Premier League is a whole new game. We don't need to gamble with the reported fees.

It's been a tough one for Ampadu. I think Ed001 mentioned before that it was a funny spot for him to go on loan, with the CB's they have there. Let's be honest, those two would have a decent shot at being first choice for us too. I think he has a shot at being an important part of the squad next season.

I don't know where our CB search lands. If Thiago Silva didn't have quite so many miles on the clock he'd be ideal - a real leader at the back. But its probably more than a couple of years too late for him. It's going to be a tough, tough hole to fill.

{Ed001's Note - it was odd to loan out Ampadu when he was good enough to play regularly for the first team as well. I mean that lad has serious quality and could have been useful in midfield as well as defence. Though it has allowed Gilmour a moment to shine, so not all bad.}

Yeah, it's a funny one all round. Ampadu is a talker and organiser too, doesn't have experience on his side but that isn't a prerequisite to being a leader. If he has the confidence then he could come straight into our squad and fill a leadership role.

Shak, I’m more convinced that Rice as a leader than I am about him being a CH.
