Tomori

With it looking increasingly likely Frank and Jody will be getting the job it got me wondering what will happen with tomori. By all accounts he had a great season as Derby and we're going to be looking at someone to come in and fill that 3rd/4th defender spot. There's a few options with christiensen, ampadu, zouma, but I think his home grown status and the fact Frank's worked with him this season and the fact we can get a decent sum for zouma to build a transfer kitty for the summer of 2020 means he'll get a chance in the squad

Tomori should be loaned or sold, the profile of defender that Villa want in defence could be a sensible move for him (if they don't re-sign Tuanzebe).
Got better options with higher ceiling on the books.

Also homegrown quota won't be a problem at all, without Tomori. Ample.

I'd rather Ampadu (who Frank actively wanted to sign twice last season) stay & play dual roles in defence & midfield.
More than enough matches to spread the gametime.

Homegrown/u21: Loftus-Cheek, Barkley, Ampadu,Hudson-Odoi, Christensen, Abraham, Mount Reece James.

u21: Pulisic


The state of play.
I've only mentioned the ones that are widely rumored to be in the squad, under Frank & Morris.

Homegrown (up in the air): Drinkwater, Jay Dasilva, Tomori, Lewis Baker.

I also think that Tomori has a bright future - but there's no need to rush him back to Chelsea for the coming season with Luiz, Rudiger, Christensen and Zouma likely to be the 4 central defenders. I suspect that Luiz and Rudiger are in pole positions for the first choice pairing (assuming a central 2), so at least for this coming year Tomori would probably be better off getting first team experience somewhere else than sitting on the bench at Chelsea.

It's possible that he's as good as Zouma, and you could argue that we would get a decent fee if we sell Zouma right now. But we can't spend it for a year anyway, so there doesn't seem much point. Might as well give Tomori a chance to get some good experience away from Chelsea, and see how he's doing in another year.
