Great to see the additions to the squad that Darrell has obtained, one small concern is that the two Chelsea lads talk to Chelsea regarding the potential of Tom Lockyer and they show an interest in letting him go, I guess this would mean a worthwhile fee for Tom who in my opinion is capable of progressing to a high level.

I'm sure Chelsea rely on scout reports ahead of scholars.
TL plays for Wales so is hardly off of the radar.

If David Luiz is worth £30+ million then Locks is worth £10 million.

Your right there is a few that can recall when Liverpool snapped up Nicky Tanner, we did not see that happening

We can only benefit from a relationship with Chelsea, they will asset strip anyone who has a talent, and I don't mind us having their youth players to develop or Young players who are released. As stated Tom is in the shop window for Wales, and expect him in the championship next year, hope we are too!

Can't say I am in the slightest bit concerned about our loanees reporting back on Tom Lockyer.

If Chelsea need scholars to identify targets for them then they need to get a new scouting network set up PDQ!

AS good as Tom is for us at the moment, he is not ready for the Premier League and i dont think chelsea are the sort of club to buy players to develop them. If he was to ever leave for championship or Prem then sure most would wish him luck too.

There is always a risk that we'll lose Tom Lockyer at some stage - I don't doubt that there has already been interest in him. Thankfully, Tom is happy at Rovers and Darrell Clarke has been able to resist any offers received so far.
When he does go, I hope we drive a hard bargain on the fee, but for now let's be thankful that we've got a very promising 21 year old, with nearly 150 first team games under his belt.

Not sure if you're serious, or taking the pish? |

I might've been dreaming about a game we played in West London recently but I think Locks will have or will not have made am impression on the decision makers at Chelsea already. Laughable that Chelsea would send kids out on loan and then make signings based on their recommendations.

If tom does leave BRFC I would prefer he played at Cardiff or Swansea although in the end it will be who BRFC can get the best deal from whoever it is.

Laughable that Chelsea would send kids out on loan and then make signings based on their recommendations. I don't think locks or Hartley covered themselves in glory defensively that night to be honest or any of the back four for that matter. Sinclair lines and Harrison were our best players and there's no chance Chelsea would be interested in them. If Tom keeps improving then he could become a premier league player in the future but worrying about it now is pointless. He could be off at anytime to anyone in the championship or Prem. Time will tell. |

Not forgetting that Chelsea took Sinclair from us for a pittance a few years ago.
