Transfer Rumour Fikayo Tomori

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Would you object to that Loureed?

Depending on the fee I would buy him.

Sack him and Chelsea off

Throw the lot at Koulibaly days to go of the window and see Napoli squirm when Kouli wants to reunite with the professor

Love that well said Matey.

I would get the lad from Man C personally. He hasnt played in the PL, so would be happy with the odd appearance

I don't think us winning the first 2 matches has any real relevance to Chelsea loaning us Tomori. We aren't their competition in their mind. We are the level just below's competition. We take points off those team, Chelsea finish higher up the league in theory.

I don't think Lampard will think about it in terms of direct competition - I just don't think he's wired that way. I think he's just trying to build the best attacking team he can, and give it enough of a defense to be able to outscore other teams. Which makes sense, if he figures his value-added is to coach up top attacking talent to peak levels.

I think @ForeverBlue92 is right that we just need a body for cover, but I would prefer it to be someone like this for some speed. Hopefully, the injuries stop and we don't regret missing out on Gabriel.

Chelsea fans love him so wouldn't want to sell. I would hope that if we do get a loan we have n option to buy at an agreed fee.

That's not really the criteria we should be looking for really, we want someone good enough to start and compete with Mina and Keane

And, this is key, has the pace to make up for Holgate being out.

I don't think that first goal happens yesterday if either Mina or Keane is confident they have the pace to push up.

Allan was caught high upfield and because our CBs hadn't pressed up that extra 5-10 yards, Diangana had the space to exploit.

Obviously, that was then compounded by Mina running away from him and not closing him down.

No way we are spending £70m on a centre back

They wanted £40 million+ for Allan and sold for £22 million.

Throw £50 million at them and see if they bite on our cherry.

...but it’s not about a player being happy to play now and then, it’s about bringing somebody in who can make a difference. I would hope whoever comes in plays regularly.

I know this is the Tomori thread here but that surprised me yesterday that Ancelotti had Allan pushing upfield more. I would have had him just in front of the defense most of the match and let Doucoure push up more.

I get you but if they dropped the price that much City would be all over him. And I think £50m is still too much for us

But we have 2 similar players in Gibson &. Branthwaite don’t see the point in signing an inexperienced CB

Not in team but a sub v Liverpool

Chelsea are playing us like a fiddle same as they did with Zouma.

About 3 days before deadline day they'll flog Rudiger or loan Sarr and tell us where to go.

Blanket refuse to ever do business with them again and move on quick.
