What's new

Antonio Rudiger

Because he WAS mediocre up until Tuchel came in and made him a very good defender in his system.

Let’s not make out that it’s the same as leaving a job for an extra £10k a year, I’m sure he’d have been fine on the £230k a week we were rumoured to have offered him. He’s left a club where he’s loved by everyone to go to another club for more money, that’s the reality.

If you’re fine with it that’s cool but me personally I feel that he should have shown some loyalty to Tuchel if not the club for making him the defender he is, if it wasn’t for TT he’d be going off on a free transfer to somewhere like Fiorentina or Galatasaray, not Real Madrid.

Nothing new in the move Rüdiger is making. If every time a Chelsea player moved on to bigger bucks I would cry about loyalty, I'd cried myself into the grave by now.

We'd better agree to disagree on this (btw an extra 10K a year really sounds good to me right now).

 
I, for one, am highly disappointed that nobody came up with a song for him to the tune of either; A Message to You Rudy by The Specials, Ruby by The Kaiser Chiefs or Here Comes The Hotstepper (Rudiger!) by Ini Kamize. Terrible. (I’d have done it by unfortunately shyness is a curse.) 
 

I am glad, however, that the people lazily trying to shoe horn him in to the ‘Chelsea’s number two’ song while Ivanovic’s grave is still fresh failed comprehensively. 
 

All the trophies he won weren’t bad either. 

 
Now the season is done, bar 2 dead rubbers that neither Leicester nor Watford have anything to gain or lose on, I would sooner TT leaves both Rudiger and AC out of the squads. Their heads and hearts are clearly elsewhere, let's cut that cord now. If there are some youth players worth a look here then give them some minutes. Otherwise let's AC and Toni Start packing their bags and also let Silva have a early start to his holiday break.

Can leave Sarr, James, Trev, Dave and any youth players needed to be called up to finish the season out.

 
We still need at least 3 points and I don't think Rudiger has downed tools, still was sprinting back to cover yesterday.

We were playing Liverpool  with their three mobile strikers, could not risk venturing forwards too much.

With our GD, we need one point.

No wonder we’re charity fc if this attitude was adopted. The season isn’t finished till we get the point needed. The match on Thursday could be hard after the disappointing result yesterday on a stamina sapping pitch. As for Watford it should be routine, though if we fail to do the business on Thursday we’re playing against a team who could be dangerous on the break.

It is finished. Watford are awful. We will at least get a point off them. 

 
I'm still shocked he made the decision to leave Chelsea.

He's in a perfect sweet spot right now where the precise conditions he currently finds here have enabled him to be in the form of his life.

It wouldn't be surprising at all to see him wiping bogies on the Real Madrid bench in a year's time.

He is getting a huge amount of cash.

 
Unfortunately, my contract negotiations had already started to get difficult last fall. Business is business, but when you don’t hear any news from the club from August to January, the situation becomes complicated. After the first offer, there was a long gap of just nothing. We’re not robots, you know? You cannot wait for months with so much uncertainty about your future. Obviously, no one saw the sanctions coming, but in the end, other big clubs were showing interest, and I had to make a decision. I will leave it at that, because business aside, I have nothing bad to say about this club.

From this great farewell piece by Rudiger.

It's obvious that this could have been handled so much better by the club. If we had someone competent in charge of running this football club Rudiger would have signed a new contract last fall, that i'm certain of.

 
I don’t usually agree with anything Merson says, but he knows we are losing an £80 Million pound player, and probably replacing him with one not so good, and blames Rudi under lamps tenure, for seeding his want to move, not sure I agree, it’s only under TT he’s consistently played as this Defensive marauding monster of a player…
