A lot of people who have seen Tosin don't rate him that highly. It is the people that have watched YouTube clips that seem to do so. 

From my perspective, Trevor and Silva where better than Dasasi and Badi (Badi may improve), and a lot more reliable than Fofana who is now an unknown. Tosin I believe is also a level below Trev based on what my Fulham mate has told me (he watches every Fulham game.) 

Hence, people getting upset about the back line have some real justification. That is also before we get to GK where our No.1 looks like it will be Sanchez - a player who was dropped by Brighton and us last season for not being good enough. 

I feel like there’s a reason a host of big clubs like ourselves, United, Newcastle, and Liverpool were interested in bringing in Tosin on a free. I’m not saying he’s going to be a superstar or anything but I think based on what I’ve watched he’s an upgrade on Chalobah. Your mate seeing every Fulham match and saying Trev is superior is fine. But I’ve watched every Chelsea match and have seen Trev look consistently solid but nothing special. 

Trev doesn’t really do any of the things you’re expecting a modern top level CB to do and especially not under a coach who will ask a lot from his defenders. He’s not dominant in the air defensively and watching him on the ball felt like it was just him passing it sideways to Thiago Silva 50 times per match so he could handle all the forward passing.

I think the only piece we’re missing for our defense is the settled, #1 keeper. I’m perfectly happy for THIS WINDOW with our CB options. Not saying Disasi, Fofana, and Badiashile are long term options.

Was Alvarez a part of the choir?

Yes, but is getting none of the heat. Infact my only disappointment with this is Enzo is been made the escape goat, all eyes on him

Get him, amazing price, amazing player. Would be perfect.

Alvarez + Valles and we would be in a great place imo. I don't think Alvarez is likely though.

Imagine if we end up with Samu and Filip..

Does he play on the left of the attacking midfield? Very coolly scored that late goal vs Newcastle last season. Looks a talent

 

nope

he would be our 10th or so left footed right side attacker

it is fucking insane

It seems like a swap of sorts involving Gallagher is bound to happen.

We must have the most embarrassing board ever seen. 20% quality talent and rest second rate players. Unreal if this shit happens.

Gusto, Palmer, Estevao, Paez, Lavia although they knew he had issues before we got him and they still went ahead with it, maybe Guiu.
