He's filled in adequately a handful of times. Wouldn't be worrying too much about selling him When he was on loan to watford he did great even as left back. Look what happened when he left Bournmoth.

It's not the same playing for a lesser club and playing here (the lesser club jibe at Liverpool would have went down so well on Twitter 🤣) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Anyway, when I heat the moaning and complaining and the "expert opinions" I always think back to alonso Etc who were slated and written off before they kicked a ball. Conte knows more than the entirety of this forum. Have some faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYC. 7,542 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Athletic and strong but lacking tactically and in terms of finesse. That's the impression he's always left on me. Not my type of defender but it is what it is. Could prove to be useful. Or even better, you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Don't rate this guy at all, actually think he's dumb as fuck, but I'm not worried either because I'm sure he's taking Ake's place in the squad. Decent to have on the bench? Maybe. First team quality? Not in a million years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance, imo.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is like Pique of spain. I read that Roma are actually offering him to chelsea because they need to sell to meet fair play rules On the contrary, I just went to an AS Roma Forum and asked how they rate Rudiger.  They are of the opinion that he is yet to peak and there's not much between Manolas and Rudiger, Rudiger has a better personality and Manolas might edge Rudiger at this moment, but Rudiger has the ability to be better than Manolas in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't get into an argument here, but how Conte and Chelsea did business last year, I am much more confident about our signings this year.

xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Rudiger's knee injury proved very costly for #cfc. they agreed deal for around £20m a year ago. Now paying up to £33.3m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsblubot 3,595 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 For the me issue with Ake, and many of the youngsters, however much we may like and root for them, is about two aspects: 1) the obvious one, potential and 2) the stage in their development 1) (potential) is notoriously difficult to assess. And 2) is a real bummer for top clubs. Everything I saw from Ake thus far points to potential, yes, but also someone who is not going to be near our starting XI any time soon. So, even if Rudiger and Ake have the same potential, Rudiger might be a lot further ahead in his development (is older too!), and can immediately be used by a club like Chelsea whereas Ake needs minutes, which the club cannot provide or promise. Chalobah is on the same boat for me: it doesn't matter if he's going to be good enough 5 years from now if Chelsea, Conte, cannot employ him even as cover, right now. And honestly, Chalobah seems to be way behind Ake in development, and I'm not as sure about his potential. just my take (not so easy to blame the club for these very tough decisions).

Leif 6,006 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 He's like Zouma with ambitious passing, at times running forward like Luiz used to do. Defensively, I'm not sure he's won a single clean tackle in Italy. He should be a midfielder. For a team like Porto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Roma's attack was on fire last season. Roma's midfield was on fire last season. Roma's manager was on fire last season. Roma's goalkeeper was on fire last season. They failed to win any honours for one reason. Their inability to defend well. They notoriously have the most inconsistent back lines out of the Serie A's top 6. Every season. Marquinhos & Benatia were incredible potential for them a while ago, but they were the only great defenders they've had in a decade. Everyone trying to fill their boots since hasn't been good enough. Hence why they're sold every season. What sane team actively tries to sell 2 of their central defenders? A team who knows they need upgrades.

ChelseaFanUK 1,014 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Maybe Ake wanted to go. Â It is not entirely the clubs fault perhaps. Â Bonucci was never happening, lets be honest, Â VVD i think was 50-50, but if saints refuse to sell what can we do? Â We have wanted Rudiger in the past, i am not that surprised we bought him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footballover 222 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Very good defender, I reckon he is going to walk in to the starting XI with wase. You'll see. For now, you can keep on complaining, like most of you always do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
