Transfer Rumour Fikayo Tomori

[Librarian]

Where’s Carlo taking him for dinner?

Carlo likes to wine & dine then sign.

Times Square to pick out his billboard

I think Keane gets a lot of stick on here and I don't think he deserves half of it, a lot of people say how much they trust Carlo, well he has just given him a new 5 year contract, you can't have it both ways, and is he not away with England at the moment, enough said.

So next week then?

 

[TonyT65]

Done deal !

So next week then?

I think FikTom would fit in just fine with our squad. Get him signed.

 

[Willow18]

Without knowing much about him, I don’t really understand this signing? I don’t think our 3 defenders are that much worse than Zouma, Rudiger, or Christensen... And surely Chelsea wouldn’t be loaning us a young player to just sit on the bench as our 4th CB

 

[stretford blue]

It's a strange one for me doesn't start in front of Keane ,holgate or mina will Chelsea want him on the bench
Lampard had him at derby and by all accounts was close to coming to us last season till luiz left , good squad player nothing more

 

[Pienaar'sdisciple]

Can't we get him on a permanent? Trust me when I say this, this boy has world class potential. Frank is just useless and doesn't know how to set up a defence. Very very complete defender this lad. Sign him up.

 

[Baggzio]

Not for me - Everton of new dont need to play players out of position.

Interesting how we stopped talking to Atletico for Arias 2 weeks ago- either hoping his price drops or I imagine we've moved onto other targets.

Didn't he get COVID and the links stopped after it was announced he had it? Can't imagine we'd be going near anyone knowing they're not fully healthy, fitness wise or COVID wise.

Holgate has a bad injury.

We absolutely need cover.

Zouma started for us ahead of all 3 of those defenders when he was here and he doesn't start over Rudiger and is about the same spot as Christensen. I'm not really sure how we are figuring that our players are superior here.

Yes. Cause “are that much worse” = superior.

Holgate was on loan. Zouma, Keane & Mina were all very much on the same level, like when Zouma wasn’t available against Chelsea, Mina & Keane kept a clean sheet which led to them starting a few games together. (Insert Mina injured most of 18/19 here) (Insert CB’s are a pairing and Zouma’s pace felt kinda important in 18/19 here)

Zouma ended the season first choice over Rudiger.

Not sure of your point. They have Silva now too. Tomori would start more Prem games here than at Chelsea.

 

[Lloydystark]

Full name = Oluwafikayomi Oluwadamilola Tomori I wonder if any commentators have tried pronouncing it?

 

[Somerset Blue]

Makes complete sense, cover for Holgate & Mina good premier league experience and allows us to loan out Branthwaite if we need.

I think that Arias has Coronavirus at the moment mate
