What's new

Antonio Rudiger

He really impresses me this dude, he covers the ground effortlessly, and he can defend, reminds me of Rio.

 JT could of prolonged his career with this whippet around him

 
Love this guy, but would maybe prefer him as a right back with ‘Dave’ switching over to the left. Alonso is too slow for my liking & doesn’t suit a flat back 4! (And I haven’t seen enough of Emerson). 

However, We’d probably sign a top class CB in January. 

Anyway, only my opinion but -

Rudi..... top player!!! 

 
Top player but we shouldn't waste him at RB like so many keep saying. His pace and passing in the middle is perfect for the high line we try to play. 

 
Have to say I was skeptical when we signed him but he's proven me wrong so far. His speed and passing is much better than I initially thought. 

 
Rudiger is our best CB atm followed by Christensen. Though Christensen didnfall off towards the end of the season but at the beginning he was amazing

 
Really, REALLY like the aggression and fight he brings to the team, and him being a seriously quality player just seals the deal. Hoping he becomes a mainstay of the side for many years to come. Also poses a good threat on set peices too.

 
In my opinion had one bad game against Roma away, but mostly excellent very strong, dominant in the air and has a lot of pace for a center back. Think he and Luiz could compliment each other, with obviously Cahill and Christensen there to jump in.

 
Can't see Cahill getting much game time. 4th choice now. Maybe even behind Ampadu.

Lots of compliments being handed out for Rudi (rightly so!) and if he continues to be played at CB....

Who would you choose to partner him?

Luiz, Ampadu, Christensen or Cahill?!

Christensen. 

However, i think Luiz will partner him for most of the season as Sarri seems to be a fan. 

 
Remember when a few wrote him off last season, he's our best defender with all the right attributes to become a legend at the club

 
And he’s still only, what, 25?  Has to be one of the best signings we’ve ever made, considering the quality of the player and the price we paid for him.  Man, Roma really missed out on some Euros between Rüdi and Salah...

I really hope Ampadu gets game time in the cup matches as I see him and Rudiger being our Long term CB pairing possibly from the start of next season. 

 
We had an awful Summer last year in terms of signings but Rudiger was an absolute steal. Think he'll take it up a notch this season under Sarri, his strength, passing and speed are perfect for his tactics

From what I've seen, he seems to be a strong character in the dressing room. Captain material.

This is the player who surprises me the most from the day he came. He's getting better and better. I love his personalty. Just the right ammount of arrogance, toughness and positive spirit.

true but I still like Ake more - don't know why - maybe because Ake came through our youth system & he reminds me of Ruud Guillit
