Stats 7,142 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 People are being really harsh on him. Yeah he can be clumsy like Luiz, but look how Luiz was transformed in our 3 man defence especially as he had more protection. Rudiger could be easily the same. He will have better protection, which you don't have the same when playing a back 4. He is also very fast for a CB and probably one of the fastest around and very athletic and good on the ball. Give him time because remember how people mocked Luiz when he came back and was one of the best CB if not the best last season. Trust Conte and give Rudiger a chance. Still only 24 and a lot of room for improvement too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the sort of money you pay for a starter. maybe 10yrs ago... the money has changed drastically. Michy barely played last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would improve almost every team in the world. PSG have Thiago Silva, Marquinhos and Kimbempe and are still looking to sign him. I'm I missing something?

They conceded >26% of their total goals in that 5 games and that was when Rudiger didn't play CB. With him as CB last season in Serie A Roma has played 14 games: 13 wins, 1 lose, 9 goals conceded, 9 clean sheets. Liked for noting a positive advantage of Rudiger. I think he's a Conte signing. But it looks like the board can't spend above the £35 million cut off mark for any position that isn't a striker (unless they think they can pull off a striker for that kind of Price) Hopefully it pays off at least to Alonso/Luiz level. It can just be frustrating to go from Bonnuci to Vandjik to Manolas then Rudiger.... But I think Rudiger has some traits of a Conte player. He's powerful, fast, can play in a back 3, back 4 and even right-back and is comfortable on the ball because of his driving runs.    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork 1,794 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I like Rudiger, not my ideal type of CB but i still rate him. Good addition. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about ten years ago. But okay, it was 8. It doesn't change my point though, 8 years ago that money was insane for Ronaldo, nowadays 70-80 million is not even that special. We just sold Aké for 20 million pounds for Bournemouth. Imagine that in 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zekinjo 449 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Naaahhhh, I still refuse to believe we're interested in him. We're probably trying to push someone for a quick decision with all this Rudiger reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 From day 1 Luiz was an elite player, so special, with clumsiness in his game. From day 1, Rudiger has been a '??? I guess he looks strong, he'll make it somewhere' player, with clumsiness in his game. Different leagues. Different journeys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulshizza 15 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Do we really need him ? We still have Luiz, Azpi, Cahill, Zouma, Christensen and i wish we could still have Ake Or, do Conte thinks him for the starter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supermonkey92 1,428 Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I actually think Cahill is better. I think ake will be better and isn't far off now. Ake's passing shits on Rudiger's. I hope he comes as 4th/5th choice. It's depth anyway. Silver lining. Christensen pushes Cahill out anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
