Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I'm just gonna sit here, and wait for him to actually play a game in blue before I judge. I remember the days when we signed players like Enrique De Lucas and Slavisa Jokanovic. Get a grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's going to accept a place on the bench, then? Cahill, Luiz, Azpi, Christensen, Miazga including the two above. Azpi at RWB isn't a good idea, if that's your thought.

Just spend £90m+ for "competition" and Roman's got another £200m lined up for reinforcements higher up on the agenda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-3001 286 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I only see a bandwagon of people hating this guy.  I am yet to see why exactly people think he is a terrible signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are big dogs on the big stage now. So you can understand why fans are upset when you are being heavily linked with the top CBs in Europe to only settle with what seems to be third choice.

Somehow i am thinking that his treatment is not fair but what is compounding everything is the fact that Ake got sold and Rudiger seem to be a replacement. I personally wouldn't have had a problem if it was Zuoma who got sold but AKE. If this was not so and we were just buying Ake to add up there might not have been this much hate but Ake got sold so someone has to be smashed by a bus and unfortunately it is Rudiger. We have to go all out fo VVD to compensate for Ake loss What did Ake do that I missed that deserves such mourning? Decent player buy it's not like we sold kante! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King11Didier 916 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 If he is coming to be a backup option, then it's fine, although the reported price is not reasonable for someone sitting on the bench, but that's probably today market... I hope Chelsea will sign one more CB who will actually be an upgrade on what we have now, because I don't see Rudiger as one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its VVd or Bonnuci new no problem but rudiger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chels 2,502 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Well it is what it is. Probably not his first choice but this does seem like a Conte signing. Tweet from last summer (apologies if already posted):  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Conte signing, the fact that we are bringing him from Italy and the player is versatile, easily understandable why it's a Conte signing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I watched a small bit of this fella the other night and thought he was ok. Bar that I've seen bout but I'm pretty sure people on here were rinsing themselves a year or so ago over this fella. It's funny, people cry like mad cause we ain't signed anyone 3 WEEKS before the window opens, then when we're linked/sign players they moan. Can't win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have followed him from Benitez time and i know what i am talking about. i mean the guy has won more honours that Rudiger has. Why should we sell just to go by another possible squad player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I just decided, after the last few seasons of transfer activity not to get completely carried away when we were linked with the likes of Bonucci and VVD. So when we go and sign someone like Rudiger, who has been on our radar it seems for a fair while, I'm not as disappointed as a LOT on here. Not saying they are wrong to be disappointed, I just think slagging off a player before he kicks a ball for us is something I don't like about modern football. At the end of the day, he is going to become a Chelsea player very soon, so we've gotta show a bit of faith in him, but slating the guy before he even kicks a ball or attempts a tackle is a bit much. It sounds spoilt and self entitled. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's filled in adequately a handful of times. Wouldn't be worrying too much about selling him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that Roma are actually offering him to chelsea because they need to sell to meet fair play rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
