Mee too. Zouma is a very solid player but he is not the man of current trends. Tomori is great with the ball yet a tough defender, he can also be a threat at attacks.

I haven't seen much of Tomori this season what's he like in the air ??

This video shows hes good at reading the game he looks quick as well

He is not very tall for a defender but he is very athletic, his jumping compensates it. I think it should be fine in the PL aswell.

Ake not the tallest player he's not bad in the air according to Wikipedia Tomori is 6ft 1ins

Aké is 1.80m tall, which is reall small for a CB. (I am 183cm which is exactly 6 feet so Ake should be less than 6). Puyol was 178

Well yeah, first he would sit on a bench and only play in cup games but it's up to him. Zouma did it. CHO did it. They both become strarters at the age of 18-20.

Reece is a better player than either of those two. By that I mean he's better at playing his position than they are at playing their's. Indeed Reece is better at playing Kurt's position too.

I've stated this as if it's fact but it's obviously just an opinion of course. An opinion I'm really confident about though.

Pace is a big part of his game. At youth level his football when bringing the ball out from the back was an important contribution to the development sides he played in. I don't think it'll rate as outstanding at the top level however. He won't be a liability though.

Fabio Cannavaro was 176cm and won player of the year in 2006.

Got injured today, Lampard had to take him off after 10 mins. The Rams won an important game in Bristol(rep. by Jay Dasilva and Kalas), they are one step away from the PO.

Why would we sell him?

At least loan him to PL for a year and then we shall see. If we sell, include buy back clause.

If we keep Zouma, I would loam Tomori out to an EPL team where he gets massive minutes, same (but not necessarily EPL) for Clarke-Salter, Sterling, and Ampadu (he REALLY needs playing time)

that still leaves us with 6 possible CB's

 

Rudiger (once fit)

Luiz

AC

Zouma

Azpi (can play CB)

Reece James (can play CB)

 

IF we sell Zouma, then I would keep Tomori, as he will get playing time, and Lamps knows him like the back of his hand

IF we loan out Reece (huge mistake in my book, we should sell Zappacosta), then obviously we are probably keeping Happy, so Tomori needs to go out on loan still

IF we somehow stupidly sell Happy and loan out Reece, then 100000% Tomori needs to stay with us, if not, we are asking for huge issues, as we simply cannot roll with just 2 healthy (atm) CB's and Azpi as a the backup (as that, if Azpi has to play CB, means Zappocosta is our starting RB, eeeek and we would have ZERO backup at both CB and RB, as this scenario assumes Rudiger is not back yet)

I am pretty sure that Zouma will leave us because he wants to be a starter, so he can play a role for his nationalteam. He will not be a starter for us because he lacks in technique

loan him out

if he has a bad year, sell him

if not

pull him and sell Everton Zouma next summer

pointless, if we are keeping Zouma, to carry 5  CB's, especially as Reece and Azpi can both play there as well

Bristol City Join Everton, Burnley In Race For Chelsea Defender

https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=33156

Bristol City are the latest club being linked with a summer move for Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori. 

 

Bristol Post says Bristol City are in the market for a central defender following the sale of Adam Webster to Brighton & Hove and Tomori is among the players being considered. 

 

It would be difficult for the Robins to get the deal over the line as they face competition from Premier League clubs including Everton and Burnley. 

 

That said, Bristol City have a good relationship with Chelsea with Tammy Abraham spending the whole of the 2016-2017 season on loan at Ashton Gate.

 

Doubts have started emerging over Tomori's future at Stamford Bridge after he was not handed a run-out in Chelsea's final pre-season fixture against Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday evening. 

 

The youngster shone for Derby County last season, winning the club's Player of Season award.

Really should be targeting a PL loan. Has spent last 2 seasons on loan in Championship and was voted POTY at Derby last season so if he goes on loan to Championship team again, he is not really kicking on. Saw Everton were linked with him. not sure what is going on there but difficulty is, he won't be guaranteed starter for CB at any PL team he goes to and a lot of teams may hesitate about starting him in PL due to his height, but he will just have to earn his place.
