Exeter City have criticised the tribunal over Ethan Ampadu's move to Chelsea, declaring the outcome sends out the "wrong message" to clubs who produce young talent. The Professional Football Compensation Committee has ruled the Grecians will receive a guaranteed sum of £1.3million for the 17-year-old, with the fee potentially rising to £2.5 million through additional payments. https://www.sportskeeda.com/athletics/exeter-left-disappointed-by-ampadu-transfer-verdict When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

The way we got robbed over the Kevin Drinkell tribunal sprung to mind though. When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Yeah I wonder sometimes if we forget how good Kevin was, in my lifetime I think I’ve only seen Super Clive who stands up against him as a great finisher.

I thought 1.5 mill for.a teenage Welsh international was the going rate...... in 1997. Yes, that's a john oster reference. It's not enough money. The drinkell thing is.ancient history.. at least I found a half relevant comparison  😆 #newera;   New owners, new approach;  'we bought Grimsby Town to help renew the place we love'   Join the Trust, get involved: UP THE MARINERS!

With Chelsea's record with youngsters I'd expect him to play in the u23s for a bit, go out on loan to a dutch club, come back and go on loan to a Championship/League1 club, then end up signing for a Championship/League 1 club.

Drinks was my era, he was the best centre-forward I have ever seen here good pace, good on the floor and in the air knew were the goal was but his best quality was his immense strength legs like tree trunks he could charge through any defence. Norwich got an absolute bargain from the tribunal he then went on to play in large part in a star-studded Glasgow Rangers side alongside the likes of Ali Mc Cloist.
