Who's this RB we've signed? I must have missed something........................
Ales Matesju although probably DS but in an emergency we could push him in the 25 if needed.

Mateju doesn't need to be in the 25 man squad, he was born after 1st Jan 1996 so for this season counts as an under 21.
Has Tomori gone on loan anywhere? I know he's good but can he really break in to the Chelsea side this season?

Tomori needs guaranteed game time in the championship, not benching for us.
What I saw of him he was quick so I would take him because we don't have enough pace at the back if we are caught upfield. I agree though we need a striker (or two first).
And centre midfield, with pace.

Not gone anywhere yet, might be playing against Spurs this weekend as Cahill is banned, he was on the bench Saturday
If he gets loaned out though, it won't be to us. he needs week in, week out football, at centre half not full back.
There's a much simpler reason it won't be to us. You can only borrow 1 player from another Premier League club at a time.
Could we swap him for Brown while his hamstring clears up? Better still, can we just have a rolling loan deal with Chelsea where each week we choose a player who's not in their starting 11?!
If we're going down this route can we scrap Izzy and have Diego "The Unwelcome" Costa for a season?
This weekend's selection will say a lot. If he's drafted in, then he's going nowhere as he's clearly on the fringe, and needed. But if they re-arrange, and he's left on the bench, then fair to say he is not really in their plans, and is only bench-warming for a bit of experience.
If he gets loaned out though, it won't be to us. he needs week in, week out football, at centre half not full back. To us he would be a versatile bench man waiting for injuries and/or suspensions. I think Chelsea will need him to be getting more game time at centre half than that.
Having said that though, I've got a sneaky feel he might start this weekend. Certainly hope so. Is Cahill suspended for 3 games?
3 games for a straight red I believe
Looks like 3 for him, according to this,
If a player is sent off for a professional foul (eg holding an opponent back when they’re through on goal) or a second bookable offence they will be handed a one-match ban.
Straight red cards for dissent will result in a two match ban, while dangerous tackles or violent conduct will result in a three-match ban which can be raised to four or more games in extreme cases.
That was from The Sun though, so no guarantees !!
