Birds of a feather flock together
Yes but i'm talking about the plan. As I said, he might end up sitting on the bench, but I very much doubt that is the plan from the off. There are plenty of players who could come in and be cover for a year, who wouldn't cost a lot and who would be content to just get a few run outs here and there. I very much doubt Tomori falls into that category. His career is on an upward trajectory, agreeing to come to us as cover would make no sense for him as a player because by the end of the year it'd be 18 months since he played regularly and everyone would have forgotten who he was. It would make no sense for us to do it because he would be more expensive than other options, and it would make no sense for Chelsea because they will want him to play to either improve or increase his value. If it was a permanent deal it would be different, but as a loan it only really makes sense for any party if we're saying we expect him to be a big part of the team.
Think they are happy to loan him out because we pay Chelski a loan fee and he would not even make the bench at Chelsea. Tomori could improve under Carlo and his value would go up.
Maybe he sees working under Carlo is a fantastic opportunity for him to grow as a player.
I expect him to play a lot knowing that both Mina and Holgate are quite injury prone.
