When you put it like that, I wouldn't be surprised to see Tomori sold with a buyback like Ake. Maybe Silva and Sarr are being brought as a way to balance the books i.e. stock up on expensive attackers, sell a two of the four CB's that have hardly covered themselves in glory this past season and then get two on frees that are either better or close to the same level. 

The word is that the club sees a future for Tomori at the club but just needs to be loaned out. His situation has been a peculiar one though. Played quite a number of games earlier last season and I know he got injured after that but it's like he has just disappeared altogether. 

While we would like to sell Rudiger, Christensen and/or Zouma, I don't see that happening this summer. Clubs elsewhere are conservative with their spending because of the pandemic and we still gotta try and get a new GK in. Might also wanna control the number of turnovers in one summer.

Watching Sarr's videos and he looks seriously like a mirror of Koulibaly. Same playing style. Freakishly athletic, covers lots of ground, good passing range, loves a perfectly timed slide tackle.

Looks a great prospect but I have zero clue where he fits here unless not only Tomori goes but also another CB.

Must be AC.

True I did rate Tomori before Lampard benched him to be honest. He is better than Rudiger and Christensen in my opinion, but one thing he lacks is passing ability. One of Sarr's strenghts is passing and that could be a reason as to why Sarr could break into the starting xi, even though Tomori couldn't at the end of last season.

TBF, Zouma doesn't have a good passing ability either. Tomori's situation has been a peculiar one. Played quite a number of games earlier last season and I know he got injured after that but it's like he has just disappeared altogether after that.

Fully agree and that's something I couldn't wrap my head around. That's why I think it would be silly to loan out Sarr when he has better qualities than all of them.

The way I see the CB situation is as follows: 

1) Last season AC, Rudi, Zouma and Tomori as a unit where not good enough. For sure, they have there individual qualities but each and everyone of them have serious flaws. 

2) We desperately lack any sort of organisation at CB and none of the four are a leader. 

Thus, for me with the current four, it is kind of a 'pick your poison' choice. If you value positional sense and reading of the game, you like AC. If you value strength and speed, you like Zouma. If you want someone that will rough up players off the ball and try to intercept high up the pitch, you like Rudi. If you like a quick covering defender, who is fairly good at attacking the ball, you like Tomori. Either way, Silva is coming in and starting and going to act as ringmaster. 

At this point you have to question who can actually be controlled/is going to benefit from such a player. I would personally say Rudi is the least likely one to listen as he just seems to do his own thing, whilst I also question who much Zouma can as well, owing to him still playing exactly the same way as he was five/six years ago and he had the opportunity to play/train with players like JT and Cahill. That for me is why Zouma gets sold, probably got the best rep out of the four/has highest transfer value but shown he cannot play in a team that plays out from the back. 

After that, we may have a situation were Sarr is brought in and is going into the first team. At that point I think all bets are off on who leaves. My money would be on Tomori via loan or sale with buyback as he is probably the easiest to shift. AC could possibly go if Gladbach still like him and need a CB. 

Either way, last season all four of the CB's played like utter arse clowns on numerous occasions, so if two are culled, lets not cry too much as they were all pretty much equally to blame.

I assume you are talking about Sarr

I had him down as a good option for left back months ago

he played there more than a few times

zero issues signing him on a free

hell, try him out at DMF

This guy sarr any good? Seemingly Barca were sniffing around

Was very promising when he first started playing for Nice. Then he stagnated for a while, mostly due to him playing out of position(LB). He's definitely not Chelsea material at the moment. Likely to go on loan if he signs. Clubs see a bargain in him being a free agent.

I read somewhere on twitter that he's a Nice reject. that's not true at all. He wanted to leave so he did not renew his contract.
