I’m glad Amps is going on loan, right decision. Rather than do what we did with some previous youth players where they’re perennially on the fringes of the first team until suddenly they reach age 21 with 30 appearances to their name and the club things ‘ok maybe now it’s time for a loan’

Giroud mouthpiece.

Lamps put the damps on Amps

Tomori deserves a shot if Mount is getting one

Did even better than Mount under Frank at Derby

Look after him JT

You expect Ampadu to Villa?

Pure midfield role for him there. They've been stockpiling CBs

Could propel them to title challenge, If they pull that one off.

📰Reading want Ethan Ampadu on loan

I see you are still obssessed. Try harder.

Back patting again

Palace could also be good loan home for Ethan.

Can see Azpi/James being used in the CB position too. Azpi especially as he's not your modern day full back.

Maybe there's hope for Zouma in the squad, nothing concrete from Everton yet to suggest they will bid for him.

"Barcelona offer PSG €40M plus Coutinho and Dembele for Neymar return." -

Coutinho would do better at PSG than he has at Barca

"Napoli have joined the race for Lille attacker Nicolas Pépé - Lille would like Adam Ounas + €60m-€65m".

Possibility, If James Rodriguez goes elsewhere.

Squad for Japan trip:

Kepa Arrizabalaga
Willy Caballero
Jamie Cumming (loan)
Cesar Azpilicueta
David Luiz
Davide Zappacosta (sell)
Kurt Zouma
Marcos Alonso
Andreas Christensen
Emerson
Fikayo Tomori (loan)
Kenedy (sell)
N’Golo Kante
Jorginho
Danny Drinkwater (sell)
Tiemoue Bakayoko (sell)
Ross Barkley
Mateo Kovacic
Mason Mount
Kasey Palmer (loan)
Pedro
Michy Batshuayi
Olivier Giroud
Tammy Abraham
Christian Pulisic

No need to loan Tomori, it's time for his shot

Could do and sell Zouma. Not sure Tomori will play so much as 4th choice, he could probably do with a loan at a premier league club where he'll play.

agreed apart from zapacosta, if James was fit id sell him but hes out for a while so would leave us short unless tomori can fill in there if needed

Reality is james gets loaned
Real shame about his injury

Reece James is pretty much the same case

Had an outstanding loan last year but is aiming at a position we already have backup for

I'd rather sell Zouma for decent money and have Tomori - who excelled under Frank already. Rudigers fitness might still have a question mark over it so could be opportunity

Ziyech to Bayern, €30m on.

I do think its unfair on Tomori if James and Mount get shots this year and he doesnt

Plus Frank will want the boost of two players that already know his style

Yeah I was thinking the same with Zappa, I don't think he's too bad a player. I feel he's better than Azpi going forward but suspect defensively.

Yep, bad news with RJ, I was hoping he wouldn't be out too long. Zouma has played RB in the past but I rather not have him there due to how poor he is on the ball.

After ashley cole took 10-15 games (in a row) to turn a corner, after playing in the same league for years I find it very hard to judge full backs. Emerson and zappa look like they could be good players but we can't risk just sticking them in for a season.

I think Emerson is OK, he's played a fair share now. Quicker than Alonso so can get up and down but his final ball isn't great.

Zappa rarely gets a chance because Azpi is captain and pretty much 1st name on the team sheet.
