I think a lot of those options will leave.

We only have 3 senior centre backs, we can't play 3 at the back, we'd need plenty of backup if that was the case. Thankfully i can't see it.

I’m not convinced Tomori is head and shoulders superior to Holgate ,although he may shade it at present, both are still developing. England caps are no reliable barometer , especially when players of Keane’s calibre also have a few.
Regardless, placing Tomori ahead of Holgate at this stage of his development would be counterproductive and foolish considering he is a Everton player whereas Tomori never will be.

I take that as good news. Means he's definitely going. Probably would've been this window if it wasn't for his injury.

If Tomori likes it here on loan and Chelsea keep Silva and bring back Sarr there’s absolutely no reason why we may not look to buy him.

It would more likely to be if Tomori came in and at least one of the younger lads stayed.

If we need 4 CB's then we need 4 CF's.
Hopefully once Tosun goes we get someone in - not convinced by the links to Gomez though sounded just speculation based on us "enquiring" which is the same as "considering" "mulling" "pondering"

If we actually have enough money to get Zaha out of Palace, then we should be aiming to spend that money on someone better than Zaha. Not saying he's a bad player because he's not. But we could get far better for £60m.

One issue with this is as well, that Chelsea will have learnt that we are not a soft touch from last year and we will be happy to walk away from the deal.
Last summer was complicated by and having a new manager and also having a new manager who wanted to evaluate his squad. I find it highly unlikely both of these circumstances will be in play next summer.
If Chelsea could have bought players, or Lampard (or AN other manager had had a few months there) I'm almost 100% we sign Zouma. They sell him and go and bring in a Thiago Silva type. They couldn't buy someone in, so it got complicated, especially when late into the window Luiz wanted to go. A perfect storm.
Chelsea's decision to bring in the players they have, and allow him to leave is very much him being pushed out of the door. The circustances that existed to re-open the door for Zouma won't be there (unless they are banned from buying again). So if he does well here I suspect we will keep him. He's a great age and great profile.
I don't think we have really recovered from losing Zouma yet, so this will be a good step in the right direction.

We’ve been here before with Zouma , Lampard likes/ rates him.
I would prefer to prioritise developing Holgate,who is himself highly rated, rather than another teams player.
Just to clarify, I am in favour of signing Tomori on loan , and suspect we will, but not at the expense of Holgate.

Anyone else think Doucoure's shirt needs an iron?

Not really... You can play one up front, you can't play one centre back... Not comparable really
