I'd still take both Gilmour and Ampadu if the cost was low mate.
Both have a huge ceiling if they click
I think they'd do quite well together. Both seem to have the right mentality, ability and everything you'd want really...apart from physicality.
Add in a quality box to box player like Gallagher or even an on form Doucoure/Iwobi and the potential is there.
No point using goal stats to judge a 20 year old defensive midfielder. However from what I’ve watched of him he isn’t the profile of midfielder we need, we don’t need any more slow weak midgets.
For a deep midfield playmaker, you dont often find those who are built like man mountains or particularly quick.
I dont really understand
@Eggs suggestion about him struggling with mens football.
He's played in a deep role for Chelsea (and of course not regularly playing 90mins) where he wasnt expected to be in attacking positions.
At Norwich I think most players struggled to score.
If we want to be a team that plays on the deck and uses a deep playmaker then in the premier league theres not many better passers in that role than Winks or Gilmour.
From what ive seen at least.
Law knows his beans as far as Chelsea matters go, he also broke the news on Moshiri when it looked like another group were shue in and broke the news on Kenyon’s consortium bid
Richarlison in a straight swap for Gallagher + Gilmour is interesting.
I wonder what those two would be valued at...for a current England player perhaps £40mil and £15-20mil for Gilmour ?
The one id want added in the deal would be Colwill.
