Ricardo Rodriguez

[Parky 739]

He is solid and can deliver an excellent cross. I definitely approve of this signing.

footballghana.com broke the news on Baba Rahman's move more than a month ago, saying Conte is looking to replace him with Wolfsburg's Ricardo Rodriguez. They were spot on it seems and now that Baba Rahman's move is official, maybe we can expect Chelsea to approach Wolfsburg in the coming days? £21m release clause.

Haha, it's true what you're saying. Football Ghana sounds as reliable as someone on TC breaking the news but they got Baba spot on.

I thought it was reported though that RR release clause expires before July.

I'm pretty sure we'll play 4-2-4 at this point...

Read an article in Kicker about his contract extension until 2019, they mentioned the release clause, but nothing on a supposed expiry date at the end of July this year. If there is such thing in that contract. 

 

Quote

Nach kicker-Informationen buhlt Englands FC Arsenal um den Schweizer EM-Teilnehmer, der Wolfsburg dank einer Klausel für festgeschriebene 25 Millionen Euro schon vor Ablauf seines bis 2019 laufenden Vertrages verlassen kann - und dem Vernehmen nach auch will.

This is from May, this year, when Arsenal was pushing for him. Kicker say the release clause is active throughout the whole contract (until 2019).

Christ, if we get another excellent CM and Rodriguez for LB..... this summer will start to look like it should.

I really like the fact that Conte has been getting a good look at the players as early as he can --plus, he was a solid CM himself. 

How many times have Chelsea had a manager who was formerly top CM for a big club in his playing career?  don't tell me about Gullit; he was a crap manager.

[Special Juan 28,119]

Baba has been allowed to go for a reason IMO, we have our eye on another option. 

I'm hoping that Conte has actually realised we have our laces tied together in the wing back areas.

I'm even more optimistic to think we've already got Baba's replacement in the bag.

And he can actually take set pieces. No more hitting first man or floating  to the keeper

Everyone who regularly takes free kicks does that. 

[Despiadado.Maleante 1,046]

Don't get your hopes up. This is too sensible a move for our board.

Lampard was pretty balls at the end.  Free kicks were guaranteed to be hammered in to the wall.
