It's fucking great that Madrid are flipping out over Rudiger, grass isn't always greener

[Vegetable 830]

Made like 30 posts about Rudi being good only under TT when he was leaving, glad someone noticed it finally. If he stayed, people would be raging and crying he is common type Rudi under GP, just like they are raging with KK.

Anyway, that would be very strange if Rice had gone to Arsenal. Would they really want to toss 100+ million for him, given there is obvious premium on him from WHU and Arsenal seem rather reasonable with cash?

This thread is going to send the Arsenal fans into even more of an meltdown than they already are

Rice  is a far better player than he's given credit for on this forum.

Take him in a heartbeat. Sort of player any top side needs

Good player but he's not the player you build your team around, that's someone like Enzo.   Arsenal would suit him as they are looking to top-up their settled midfield....unlike us where we are in midfield rebuild mode.

Depends upon the system being played, he'd be a good addition but Declan Rice alone wouldn't fix our midfield issues.

I use to hear similar being said about Maguire at Leicester when he was playing in a lower block and allowed to focus more on the old fashioned defending.

Man utd ruined Maguire, put him in another team and you have a great defender.

roflmaooooooooooo

slabhead was NEVER a great defender

he has a nose for goals off free and corner kicks, that is it

he is slow AF, and gets caught ball watching

Every defender gets caught ball watching, saying that is just common knowledge, fact still remains man utd ruined him.

Is there many people still believe rudiger actually a great defender? I'm not really certain actually

Even with tuchel he ONLY play very well when he stick with 3 cb.

How many times rudiger play in 4  at the back, and rudidger just become atrocious defender, almost as shaky as koulibally

Without so much protection, and beside very composed defender ala thiago silva in 3 atb system, he isn't that reliable actually.

What he did mange to do, whether fake or real, was leadership, focus and passion. He allied these traits with at the very least competence. In a season during which Challo has sometimes been exposed, and we have even had to play Cucu at CB, I would definitely take Rudi on loan to bolster our squad.
