What's new

Antonio Rudiger

Well, on the plus side, maybe the Sandro and Bakayoko announcements are simply being held up by the video production time needed.

Yep. We're bringing in Michael Bay for the Alex Sandro introduction/ special effects extravaganza.

I actually LOL at how bad that video was, but glad all the same he's signed now.  Who's place do you think he is most likely to push for though? Cahill, Luiz or Dave? They all have their strengths but would maybe say Cahill is the most likely to make way, unless the plan is to push Dave back out wide...

Hopefully Bakayoko and a forward soon to follow!

He won't replace anyone in the current back 3.  He's not good enough for that.....yet.

Depends on how he performs, can see him taking Cahill's spot, all due respect to him.

I am basing this off what I saw from watching some of Roma's matches when Rudiger played last season and comparing his performances with Cahill.  He isn't first team material for the club so time will tell if he can displace Cahill or someone else in the first XI.

You truly believe a current German international defender isn't good enough for our first team? Words fail me.

 
Wecome Tony!!! Great to have you! Lets shake that stupid affection for Arsenal off of you by smashing them again and again.

 
initially wasn't keen, but it's a positive signing in the right direction, and since we nearly got him last season, you would have to imagine he was a player conte wanted, which is the most important thing.

Well Cahill definitely who would not get near the Germany squad, but also potentially Azpi with him replacing Moses.

Cahill is the current club captain and although limited in ability did do well with his clearances and reading of the game last season.  Schurrle was also a German international during his time with us and his inconsistencies drove some of us up the wall.  Don't let Rudiger's international appearances be the sole determinant here.  In my opinion, his former club mate Manolas is the better defender.  

 
Finally, an announcement! Happy with the signing and hopefully more will come soon!

Being club captain didn't shield JT from being benched for the better part of last season. If the captaincy determines Conte's teamsheet, I would be sorely disappointed in him.

Brilliant, this is more like it. Hope for at least a few more in the next few weeks.

 
That announcement video was the cringiest one I've seen this summer so far, I think the second most was our one with the Gorillaz so at least we have that title in the back so far!

Here's hoping he can play a big role in our success moving forward!
