Ha. Fair point. But those 399 right backs must have been somewhere.He was an 18 year old in Chelsea's academy at the time so probably not even on the list at all!

He's surprisingly strong, a good tackler but obviously he's about 5'4" so there's always going to be an issue there in a back 4.What’s he like defensively?
I get the feeling he’s the polar opposite of AWB, great going forwards but couldn’t defend adequately in a 4 at the back. Shame we couldn’t glue them together
Fantastic at what? Didnt do a lot then was subbed on 66 mins, then Brighton came back for a point. He did less than AWB did going forwardHe was fantastic again yesterday. Whenever I watch him play he looks impressive.
TBF Cucurella looks pretty good to me as well, so it's likely I don't know what I'm talking about here.
I don’t think it’s a coincidence. Right back is the new right wing. Right wing is basically a striker/inside forward now and all the good right footed lads want to play on the left inside and cut in. Massive lack of quality no 9s in the game today but an over abundance of wide players.If he goes to a top club that plays a back three he could really kick on
Do Chelsea have a buyback clause?
Not sure about him in a back 4 at the top level
Not somebody I see us needing but could be a good signing for spurs... would certainly be competition for Emerson
Crazy the right back options for England
Trent
Walker
Tripper
Awb
Lampty
Aaron's
Livramento
And I'm still hopefully that laird is going to establish himself in that group.
If someone swigs a cross into the far post, he'll be getting beat more likely that not. Unless he has a godly leap. But I like attacking fullbacks more than defensive ones so I wouldn't complain.why does anyone care that Lamptey is only 5'5"....he's an outside back not a CB or CF
That never stopped midgets Lahm and Dani Alves to be the best fullbacks of this generationIf someone swigs a cross into the far post, he'll be getting beat more likely that not. Unless he has a godly leap.
The were both a couple of inches taller though, which probably does make a difference given the average left winger isn't usually that much taller.That never stopped midgets Lahm and Dani Alves to be the best fullbacks of this generation
Sounds like Tinderwhy does anyone care that Lamptey is only 5'5"....he's an outside back not a CB or CF
not a tinder guy myself so will take your word for itSounds like Tinder
Yeah the midfield rebuild needs to take priorityGood player but we need a CDM first. Also Ethan laird deserves a shot to start next year
Would take a CDM in this window then go big for a midfield baller in the summer. Personally feel that RB should be next priority after thatBetween now and summer, two MFs and a RB are needed.
Laird ?Between now and summer, two MFs and a RB are needed.
I also think Livramento is a better long term prospect than Lamptey. Think Chelsea have a buy back that comes in in summer 2023. I think it’s quite low too.Ethan Laird should be given a opportunity to claim the RB spot imo. But if we're to look for a RB, then I'd prefer someone like Tino Livramento over Lamptey. Chelsea do have some sort of clause inserted into the players contract, when they sold him to Southampton, and may look to bring him back to the club in the next few years.
You forgot Reece James.If he goes to a top club that plays a back three he could really kick on
