Not as experienced obviously as Zouma but far less clunky. This would be a fantastic loan.

Is this pukka gen Ed’s?

{Ed025's Note - as far as i know it is pierre, we were in for him last year but the transfer embargo for chelsea put paid to that, it looks like it could be a 1year loan deal mate..

I like our CB on the whole but he is a very good player. if we kept Braithwaite and Gibson we could set up with a back 3. 3-4-3

Pickford
Holgate Keane Tomori

Coleman Allan Doucoure Digne

James DCL Richie

Although with current squad (including Doucoure) could have 4-2-3-1


Pickford
Coleman keane Holgate Digne

Gomes Allan

James Doucoure Richie

DCL

Or 4-3-3

If we get these players it allows us the have various formations and options with better players.

Any idea if there’ll be an option to buy in the proposed Tomori deal?

If not permanent then why hamper our kid defenders who can play 1st team (Branthwaite, Gibson) to help Chelsea bring on players. Branthwaite done nothing wrong to suggest he should be out the 1st team picture.

Yeah that right bunk beds. Gives us great flexibility. And with Carlo leading the way I'm sure he will change it up depending on the opposition. I'm really excited for the season. I don't meant to sound greedy but a top class striker and keeper would be great as well, but settle for getting them next season. It's the departures I'm looking forward to now, I'm a bit worried that there's no rumours of them leaving.

Theo to Leeds I read a moment ago.
But we do need to ditch 6 or so for sure.

I'd happily let Braithwaite and Gibson play and yes they've done nothing wrong, but Tomori is probably better at mo. If we get him for a season they can go on loan and gain experience or we can play 3 at back which given amount of games, injuries and form both our young lads would likely get good game time🤷‍♂️.

If we bring in Tomori I expect both Gibson and Branthwaite to move out on loan to gain regular experience rather than play bit parts in our squad.
