Chelsea4 1,521 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 People are getting really angry at Di Marzio but he still says that we are interested in Van Dijk,Boateng and that we want to sign two defenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Better than some people think. Maybe not world class, but good on the ball and very strong and dynamic. Under Conte, he could flourish. Better than Manolas to me for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Not a fan but we've been linked with him for more than a year. Was very close to being our first signing of the summer before his injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Manolas staying so we are locked in talks with Rudiger it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulshizza 15 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Do we really need him or Manolas? We still have Luiz, Azpi, Cahill, Zouma, Christensen and i wish we could still have Ake  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,916 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 100% smacks of a board signing after they failed to secure what Conte really wants, which is a ready made, top class, veteran CB that will slot straight into the side. Bonucci, Van Dijk, and Boateng are exactly that. I'm not sure Rüdiger even pushes Cahill out of our XI. General consenus I'm seeing around is that he's just solid and nothing great or special. Very underwhelming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMox81 193 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 lol @ board signing - whatever that means. I seem to remember not that many rating Alonso that much before he arrived and now there's outrage that Sandro might be coming into replace him...

Rapkun 668 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 He's the equivalent of Bailly in the Serie A. Huge athletic qualities and a lot of aggressiveness but commits many mistakes. He's more about reactivity than anticipation. His pace is a huge attribute when playing with slow defenders but he needs one or two other players around him with experience. He is a little more comfortable with the ball than Manolas but that's not saying much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend VVD IS not for sale . Bonnuci never we are interested with him according to Fabrizio Romano and of course not for sale .  We cant have :Sandro,bonnuci in the same transfer period.  To sign these players (VVD,Sandro ,bakayoko,lukaku,+ a winger)= 80€m +70m€+40m€+110m€+40-45m€=340-350m€.

Marko Marin, Djilobodji, Miazga, Kenedy... Players that the board buy regardless of the manager in hopes that they turn out well. Mourinho publicly admitted he'd never even heard of Djilobodji, ffs! Of course, Rüdiger is well known and Conte will have seen him before, but surely he isn't/wasn't out top CB target this summer. Not at the level we need to join Europe's elite level.

quickpassnmove 924 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I don't see much value in either Roma centre back for CFC. Either nonsense rumours or intimations of another summer window that demonstrates Chelsea's ineptitude in transfer negotiations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I'm starting to think Christensen will be our backup RWB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitr 488 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Rudiger-Luiz /Christensen-azpicuelta and moses  ,Sandro (possible) not bad . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzy_Vance 454 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Why would we bother with this guy? He's a mid table centre half and belongs at Everton. I swear if Christensen wasn't our player we would be bidding £50m for him this window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Scenes when we offer 20m + Christensen. Â But, he is better than Manolas, who has no durability as a Roma fan put it, which I agree with. Rudiger's leaving due to racism in Italy, not because Roma are happy to make money off him, unlike the former. But, just 1 big injury really turned him into a shadow of the player he was touted to be. Again, no better than Cahill. So, why not just keep our central defence exactly as is? Azpilicueta - Christensen - Luiz would be by far the best 'pairing' in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I'm not gonna pretend to know more than Conte or the scouts but this one is baffling... I mean he can play on the left and right side and is comfortable in wide areas but this just looks strange when you think of who we have in the system. He does seem to use the ball better than Zouma and has better anticipation but he's not miles clear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimitr 488 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 It's a good option not the best . The best is VVD (he isn't for sale )Â we have learned from last year with koulibaly saga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
