Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Are we linked though? I mean I know it's hard to prove, but has there been anything remotely worth getting excited over..?I'm not sure how reliable Kicker is but they thought we were in for him.http://talksport.com/football/chelsea-line-wolfsburg-starlet-cole-replacement-13111868562http://talksport.com/football/ac-milan-ready-battle-chelsea-swiss-defender-13121772219http://metro.co.uk/2013/11/19/chelsea-line-up-wolfsburg-left-back-ricardo-rodriguez-to-replace-ashley-cole-4192376/I'm thinking we'll know more after the world cup.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 If we plan to buy him, then we should do it before WC because in case he does well, the price will go double and Im sure more clubs will be interested...I think there were rumours about Mou wanting Rodriguez back when he was still in Real and no one realy knew who Rodriguez was, they were saying what will such player do there...look how much Rodriguez improved since and Mou saw sth in him a while ago...now with shaw almost imopossible, I would be surprised if Mou wouldnt go after Ricardo.Maybe just a thing, Rodriguez doesnt look realy realy fast to me IMO. He is on similar level as Azpi, fast, but not as Shaw, Moreno, Alves, Cole in prime,...and his potential isnt as high as Shaw/Moreno...I can see Shaw and Moreno as one of best LBs if the evolve properly, while Rodriguez is more allround...still atm, he is twice the player than Shaw or Moreno though.

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 A no-brainer here. Call Wolfsburg, tell them that they can fax you the papers and sign them. You will have the best left-back in the league next season.Ricardo Rodriguez, Marcelo and Baines are, IMO, the most influential left-backs these days. Shaw is a great prospect, but this guy is the real deal. You just can't say no to this price tag Wolfsburg has put on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coentrao costed 30M, Shaw will be even more expensive.. I agree with @petre.ispirescu, Rodriguez is very special. I would chose him over Shaw anytime.

bababoom 4,478 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Get this done, Buy a striker or two and get a world class midfielder to partner Matic... after that we can waste our money on someone like Lavezzi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 What!? Fuck Shaw, get this guy! 18£m? Him+ Costa would be around £50m! Luiz for them two is a hell of a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 If my prayers to the football gods get answered this summer we will add three players this offseason: Ricardo Rodriguez, Paul Pogba and a fucking striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Skipper 20,609 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 RR it is then. The price is too good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teignman 441 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Defensively sound, excellent dead ball striker, can beat a man, etc. Has pretty much all the qualities, and then some, you look for in a fullback. Plus he's young and very reasonably priced. Sign him up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matterz 67 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 If my prayers to the football gods get answered this summer we will add three players this offseason: Ricardo Rodriguez, Paul Pogba and a fucking striker. Got to be Costa up front, id agree with you fully, think RR and Pogba are awesome players and young. id maybe say we need a CB as well, Mangala or Varane. Who would you want up front? And what alternatives would you have if we couldn't get Pogba or RR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDY 1,290 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Is he really THAT good?I've watched Wolfsburg about 3 times since KdB went there and he's been decent/average every time, but then a quick glance on whoscored after the match and he has something ridiculous like a 9.5 rating..

Rekin 835 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 He is one of the best young left backs in the world.Shaw, Sandro and Moreno have also been rumoured to Chelsea, but Rodriguez is the best one at the moment.Development is rarely linear and we have no idea if Shaw will ever become as good as Rodriguez (or, for that matter, whether he will become twice as good).Trust me, I too prefer local lads who are supporters of the club, but not at any cost. Especially not when it is required to pay more both for the transfer and wages in order to secure a currently inferior player. WhoScored has no opinion, it only reports the statistics of the player. If he has a high rating then it is because he has earned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
