Antonio Rudiger

[Strike 7,217]

Completely our own fault letting the situation get this far.

Rudiger, Christensen, Azpilicueta and Thiago Silva deals are running out next June and none look like they are signing a new one soon.

Not only him allegdly Christensen is stalling over a new contract, wtf is it with Chelsea's central defenders?

Probably glancing at how Rudiger is negotiating and is also thinking differently.

Honestly don't know what's making the club drag their feet.

Hope the club isn't playing some game thinking they have more leverage than they actually do.

Rudiger and Christensen are entering their prime years. They will look for a better deal

Hope this is just another JT situation., where JT waited ages to sign a contract (obviously to get more money), but ultimately signed.

Rudiger wants 250 Euros a week according to this.

It's now at a point where we should simply abide to his demands. He's become absolutely crucial for us and can provide us at the very least 4-5 years of elite performances under Tuchel.

Think I said the same thing some time back and TBF, Christensen and Rudiger looked to be on their way out this time last year. It wasn't until Tuchel came in that their fortunes turn around.

that Kai goal shows how a short defender gets burnt in the EPL in the air

Walker-Peters (who has crazy vertical leap, he can dunk a basketball, I saw it in a pre-game special on spuds a while back) had no chance

and he is only an inch, inch and half shorter or so than Kounde

Vertical means fuck all when defending a corner or cross. the ball swerves, players move around and the defender only has time for a little hop. If the attacker is this much taller he can just stand there and nick it In if the cross is good. You need optimal preparation and run up to exploit your full vert like in a dunk. No chance of this in game for defenders cos they are always the ones to react

Didn't he also get beaten in the air by Werner for the goal that was stupidly ruled out by VAR?

Vertical leap is what all the Kounde fanbois talk about.

I thinks it is bollocks.

‘I feel happy here’ – Antonio Rudiger plays down Chelsea exit speculation

https://metro.co.uk/2021/10/31/antonio-rudiger-provides-major-update-on-Chelsea-future-amid-exit-rumours-15516132/

[Clockwork 1,794]

He is replaceable, and he is making a big mistake from a footballing standpoint if signs somewhere else. If he wants to make a decision based on financial than he is better going.
 

As long as we have Mendy in goal, our superb midfield, and Tuchel defense we will be fine. And if we don’t have Tuchel, then there is no point of wanting Rudigar at Chelsea anyway.

[NikkiCFC 7,953]

I noticed lately that he improved a lot his offensive play. Very often he is in the final 3rd and looks dangerous. After these situations he won pen against Malmo, assisted disallowed goal against Southampton to Lukaku...

And this also proves it...

 

[MoroccanBlue 5,306]

Matt Law is convinced he’s going. There has been virtually zero progress according to him. Rudiger wants 300Kpw

300pw, it was nice having you on the team. Tuchel makes him a star. I don't blame players for getting all they can, careers are short. You have to know your market.

[Atomiswave 6,072]

2 sides to a coin

1: surely Chelsea can entice him to stay while not bending the knee.....figure it out.

2: WTF is Rudi doing, you are at an elite club, your repu never ever as high as now, the fans love you, the manager loves and counts on you and you can win trophies.

Shambolic if you ask me.....if you wanna go then pack it already but remember Eden Rudi my man. The grass is rarely greener on the other side once you leave Chels.

Alaba, Rudiger, Pogba and Mbappe all for free. Haaland just 75m euros. Camavinga was also cheap. They have buy back on Reguilon. And I see them linked to with Pau Torres. So potentially 8 top, top players for peanuts.

In terms of transfer fees, but they will want excessive signing-on fees, not to mention big wages (Alaba is earning £400k+).
