Conte has seen little progress made in the quest to sign either of his top defensive targets: Virgil van Dijk or Leonardo Bonucci. [Mail]

#Chelsea have turned their focus to alternatives and are confident they can get Roma's Rudiger, with his agent travelling to London. [Mail]

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.

Agree, but whenever I saw him, he was miles ahead of Manolas in ball control. Thats why he can also play RB if realy necessary. That said, he needs to improve his awarness, but his physical ability; agility, strenght and speed could make him perfect CB one day if he stays injury free.

There is no such thing as a player not for sale at a small club like Southampton. It's just a matter of offering them money they can't say no to.

In our days west brom and west ham can pay 40m for a player and do you think that if saints want to keep him they can't ? 

They said he isn't for sale so another koulibaly saga . Napoli is a big team ? No but they kept koulibaly so ?

how can we sell ake so we get rudiger.

Because we have a buyback in Akes contract, and the player wants more guaranteed first team starts to progress. If Ake develops into a stud we will exercise our BB options and bring him back.

Nizaar Kinsella: "Rudiger can play in all three positions in a back three and could do a job at wing back. Chelsea could still get VVD or Bonucci" "Thats the unique attraction to rudiger"

Conte did want to bring in versatile people, with Ake gone(for now) and Zouma apparently heading out on Loan bringing in 2 CB's would make sense. Rudiger could just be the first of two purchases + help us in negotiations with other teams by not looking as desperate for a CB.

What a fucking joke. 

I was okay with Alonso last year, but Rudiger is a bang average defender. Guy has bricks in his kickers. 

 

This is absolutely not a Conte target and an absolute joke. This is last years summer all over again. 

 

Why the flying fuck would you loan out Zouma to sign fucking Rudiger in his place??????

In competition with the other CB's. Conte will play the best players. Conte has given the board his list and how many players he wants, he knows who is already under contract as well. He wants competition and depth for an expanded schedule and to be able to challenge competitively on all fronts. All of the top teams have insane depth/competitions across their team, we are striving to be a very top team.

Then why the hell would you sell Aké??? 

 

Because either Conte didn't rate him that high, or more likely that Ake at his current stage of development wants assurances game to game he will get playing time so he can grow and mature. Conte/Chelsea couldn't offer him that. So they sold a player who wasnt considered a requirement for 20M lbs with a buy back option. If Ake comes good we will exercise that option and have the player back in our team. If he never develops into the player some expect we made 20M on a player. It is a win win in my eyes.
