RamLad1884 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Absolutely love the passion and commitment from our CB pairing, might not be the best defensively but my god Keogh and Tomori are exciting to watch. The calmness and maturity Tomori shows every week is an absolutely credit to the lad. To think he has plenty of time to improve yet is scary, genuinely think if we bagged him on a permanent deal he could go on to be a legend at the club.

Kernow Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 If we go up. If not I think he'll be out of our price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 No chance if we don’t go up. Will cost 10-15 million at the very, very least, more realistically 20 million. The premier league rules will change next season if you know what happens which will mean teams will be required to have more home grown players.

Mr Tibbs Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Steady on. If we're still in this division I absolutely wouldn't mind him on loan for another year. Realistically I think that's quite possible, he's not PL class so another full season playing in the Championship seems likely. He's got some really good attributes and looks the bizz when he puts in a performance like tonight but there's a lot of work to do before he becomes the finished article. Plenty of potential there.

Day Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 If Chelsea need to raise funds I guess we could try and help them out a little, I mean I’m not convinced by him, but something like 250k why not it’s not my money ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Some people don't like him. I fell in love a long time ago. He does give away goals. I don't know if he just loses his head slightly and so loses his man. I don't know if he's just struggling with the timing of strikers movement as he's getting a proper crash course vs first team, high level football. But he does let players get wrong side of him However he defends so many lost situations. Where we'd concede a cross, a shot, a throw, a corner Tomori is there to win possession. Where a defender may clear his lines it's Tomori who manages to retrieve the ball. Yeah, his pace gets him out the pooh but that shouldn't be seen as a negative. It's his legs doing the running! They're one of his weapons. Very rare does his passing cause us any problems. He is always happy to take the ball/pressure off a teammate. Very often teams get behind our full backs, especially LB, and Tomori is there. For every goal he gives away he goes the extra mile on a couple of other situations. But I can't see any chance of signing him. He's a young lad getting a crash course. He's in the school of hard knocks and is going to be playing 50 games for a top 30 team. He's in a great place for Chelsea. He couldn't be in a better place to learn. I'm sure they are loving what their loaned players are doing here. Their technical ability is still shining but it's their mental and physical attributes getting a true test. Mount and Tomori will look back on videos of their season and be able to apply their ability even better next season. Hopefully with us but possibly at the next step up. I can't see Chelsea selling either of these young lads anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Chelsea selling either of these young lads anytime soon He reminds me of David Luiz a bit. Prone to lapses of concentration but quick and really good technically on the ball. I wonder if the best way to get the most out of him individually is to play him in a back three where there’s more cover? You could play him in the centre of the back three like Conte did with Luiz at Chelsea but I think he would work well as one of the two outside centre backs too as cover when the wing backs push on, due to his speed.

Ghost of Clough Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Played fantastically tonight. Showed why he is so highly rated at Chelsea and the England setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie George Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 In time I think his position will be in front of the back four. He's made for that role. Pace,can tackle and has the vision and passing range to be a master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, reminds me of Luiz too. Tomori certainly isn't getting an easy ride. I bet Chelsea love that we have slightly dodgy full backs. I bet they love Keogh moments. I bet they love that Davies is injured!! Every game he's doing a bit of everything. He's not playing in a compact defensive team where he's facing attacks head on and then hoofing clear. He's not got solid defenders around him that he can ride on the back of. He's getting tested constantly. I get the frustration with him. His education is costing us goals here and there. But I think he does enough good to earn a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Wonderful defender. His distribution and ability on the ball is the best out of any centre half in this league, and he is extremely quick. Not always the best in the air, but he has been getting better every game for us. I love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottsRam77 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Played really well tonight But no thanks Has the concentration span of a goldfish when balls start flying into the box one game in 5 doesn’t make u a good centre half before tonight he had been an utter liability recently Ask kamal roofe and billy sharpe what they make of him ? I see someone has put he remind them of David luiz lol of late he’s been a dead ringer for Claude Davis tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I’m totally split down the middle about him. He’s obviously quality, and I see all the good that gets posted on here, his pace, composure, passing, tracking back and winning possession. But his inability to head the ball or stay close to his man in the box frustrates the hell out of me. Dealing with long balls and crosses in the box, and marking your man, are bread and butter for a defender. He just can’t do the basics, and it’s cost us far too many soft goals this season.

Gritstone Ram Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 He went on a bit of a mad one late one and nearly cost us the game losing the ball in the centre circle. Apart from that he played really well and was possibly man of the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marking and heading isn’t his game, you can’t deny that? Everything else, he’s about as good as you get in this division. Two big flaws which will hopefully be ironed out as the season and his career progresses. Majestic performance tonight though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestic performance tonight though He has flaws, but Claude Davies was our worst defender of all time. Tomori is a young centre half with a huge future ahead of him, comparing the two is so ludicrous. Tomori is the best defensive partner we've had for Keogh for a long time.
