lucashm 340 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 37 minutes ago, Special Juan said: He will be on the bench most of the season, the three CB's pick themselves and barring injury won't be shifted. Ruddiger will struggle to nail down a starting spot too. I wouldnt be so sure regarding Cahill, he may be the captain, but Conte did said that he would be the captain WHEN he plays. I think Christensen and Rudiger may have a real shot at overtaking him this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid Angel 2,130 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I really hope that by the end of the season our back three is Rudiger-Luiz-Christensen, with Azpi as RWB of course. kellzfresh and The Mak 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it only really offends people outside the club...ala the journos and rival club fans, who just think we're cheating the system, when actually just exploiting it. Inside, they probably wish their clubs did the same Tomo and Fernando 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullshit. Without pulling off some incredibly unlikely signing such as van Dijk there's zero chance the club are letting go of another defender. The CB department is pretty much the only outfield position in the squad that is not severely lacking in numbers at the moment so to even link someone with a move is ludicrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact it is a good and a brilliant strategy. The problem is the loan system was suppose to be a sub set where we use it to see who is good and who is bad so that they are then integrated into the first team thus saving loads of money along with talent in the process. The sub set is no longer a sub set to integrate youth but it now something which is used to churn out money for the club. Thats why lot of us are disappointed that we could have archived more through this loan process.  P.S. Dont get me wrong, making money through any channel is good but for me the vision was just not making money through this system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way is Dave a RWB... a brilliant defender and I love the guy, a fabulous RB/RCB but that's it, he's too slow and not a particulary good crosser, so RWB 'fraid not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can have a ratio of gaining a first teamer from the loan system every 2 or 3 year's on average, that alone justifies the system even before we factor in the profits we make on the one's who don't make the grade and (popular to popular belief) the great way it helps the player's. oldportblue and Jype 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear u and I agree ... Though I wouldnt look at Courtois as someone who came from our youth ranks but Loan system nevertheless. The problem is that there is still a big "If' in your statements ... By now the "if" should had been gone. Thats why the disappoint I feel. I hope it pan out the way U put it and that will surely help someone like me see light at the end of the tunnel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 If Andreas does not get at shot at this, then nobody will. This guy had a great season in loan, and his performances demand he is given a chance. Don't even think the club has a choice here because mishandling this situation could jeopardize the entire loan system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see what happens come beginning of season. Seems Rudiger will be used RWB so it means Cahill, Azpilicueta, Luiz and Christensen are all competing for 3 positions. He'll be given time, like Musonda since we're only 2 wingers in for 2 wing positions lmao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against Arsenal he came on for Alonso but it was Azpilicueta who got shifted from RCB to LWB and Rüdiger replaced Azpi in the back three. Anyways, with the increased amount of games coming up this season there should be more than enough chances for Christensen IF the manager rates him, but right now the jury is still out on whether he actually does or if Christensen will end up the same as Ake in Conte's books. I hope he does make it but with all the rumours of Conte still wanting to bring in Van Dijk I shall have my doubts.
