Loaning Zouma and Bats to you and instead we sign Tolisso would be great deal for both sides I think.

But its not gonna happen.

I see Zouma linked with Marseille and Im not sure Bats would go on loan to Lyon, I think he prefers PL so he can adjust to it.

Yes i think it's very complicated too, because Zouma is a ex-player of Saint-Etienne (very big rivality with Lyon, and he says recently "i can't play for Lyon"), and Bats is an ex-player of OM and he tweeted bad things when we have lose against La Gantoise in Uefa Champions League.

Traoré is a good player or not ( I just saw it during the double confrontation against Ajax) ? Many supporters are skeptical about him...

Thanks

Bats tweeted something? 

Nah, you must have the wrong lad!

Leading European clubs are on alert after Corentin Tolisso admitted he is considering leaving Lyon.

The 22-year-old midfielder has been linked with Chelsea, Napoli, Juventus, Inter and AC Milan clubs and, following Lyon's failure to qualify for the Champions League, Tolisso is keen to explore his options.

He told Lyonnais newspaper Le Progres: "It was a tricky time, I was young and I still wanted to play for Lyon in their new stadium. There was the Champions League and I thought we had a good team.

"If there are offers I will study them with my advisors and my parents, then I will go and tell the president (Jean-Michel Aulas) that I want to leave.

"I've listened to his words, he's said there have been no new offers, so when we talk together I would like the situation to be clarified as soon as possible.

"Until June 13 I am fully focused on the French national team."

If Conte lands him, my confidence in his eye for midfielders will be raised higher. Conte knows his stuff when it comes to midfield as a former midfielder himself who played beside Zidane and Edgar Davids; and Conte even proved it with Juventus bringing vidal, Pogba and Pirlo and gave them the top 3 midfielders in Europe. 

Hopefully Conte still has that eye for midfielders because I'll trust him 100% with who he wants

Chelsea will use their meeting with Lyon president Aulas about deals for Traore and Zouma to enquire about Corentin Tolisso. [L'Equipe]

I am starting to come round to the idea that Tolisso might be a better signing than Bakayoko. He is more adaptable to slightly different positions. Both would be excellent signings, and if we got both and off-loaded Matic, or got one and kept Matic I'd be happy...

Is he like Dembele?

Both is a dream situation! I would be excited to get either Bakayoko or Tolisso, i haven't watched alot of Tolisso but reading reports and listening to peoples opinion I trust he would be a magnificent signing. If we manage to lock both of them up and have Kante our midfield would look mighty formidable all while having loads of room to grow and improve as they mature. It also leaves room for Lew Baker to come back and compete for the fabregas role.

I was watching Bakayoko clips and I saw a Dembele-esque possibility. Dembele is physical and aggressive while being skillful dribbling the ball, his passing is okay but not devastating. He mainly disrupts through physicality and dribbling, those are two of bakayokos strength. I could be way off base but thats just my opinion on what Dembele does for Spurs and what Bakayoko possibly could be. 

Tolisso seems to be more all around skilled than either of dembele/bakayoko.

Do we see him as a rwb or cm ?

Cm, no doubt.

Yeah, definitely CM. What I mean't by being more adaptable than Bakayoko is that he's played a lot of differen CM roles in the last few years at Lyon, box to box, attacking mid, etc etc.

He seems to weak to be a midfield general and not technically gifted enough to be a playmaker. Going from Nainggolan and Verratti to him seems like a downgrade. 

Think he would be a like-for-like replacement for Matic. I hope he proves me wrong. At the end of the day, IF, big if, Antonio wants him as a primary target,he's good enough for me.
