Antonio Rudiger

It's because they are guessing. Eventually they will get it right and then people forget all of the other times they get it wrong. If you keep making up the same story every few days, you are going to get one right eventually.
Throw enough sh*t at a wall.....

 
I think we are going to be having a combination of Azpilicueta - Rudiger - Luiz at the centre back positions. 

Rudiger is pretty solid, with some good sense of positional play, and he is going to be better than just a mere back up option. 

I will like to see Zouma go on loan, he needs a club where the expectations will not be as high as Chelsea's, getting games week in week out. He will soon be back to his top form and Chelsea will know what to make of that by next summer. 

That leaves Cahill and Christensen on the bench. I believe they will get a decent amount of games too, I will give priority to Christensen however. 

That by any stretch of imagination means Chelsea have the best centre back combination in the premier league. (I know we fans always want more though) 

 
Conflicting reports this evening about him...Daily Mirror says he's in London for a medical while Sky say that he's not and that the clubs still haven't agreed a fee...more worrying is that Sky also say that he wants more time to think about this move with Roma...Sky are saying that these reports are their Italian desk...believe what you will...?

I think Conte sees him as an improvement over Cahill. He can shield the ball and have cajones to pass the ball to Courtois or Luiz. We saw last term how we hurt in that dept. Hoofing the ball up the field where we have absolutely no one to win a header apart from maybe Costa or Alonso. We need to keep the ball on the floor (10 years ago this was not the case).

 
Rudiger apparently having a medical in US and should sign a deal later today....

 
Chelsea and Roma have agreed a fee for Rudiger a fee rising to £34m...the medical was supposed to have happened today in US so hopefully we'll have a confirmed deal today or tomorrow... 

 
If Rudiger is indeed Conte's choice, I offer no objection whatsoever.  Just that his performances at Roma hasn't been exactly top notch from what I have seen and recall. 

By the way, do post more often.  Your posts are almost always a good read.
Surely rudiger and bakayoko this week....has to be.....right?
