Rudiger

Wot ,no mention of Baaaaaakaaaaa ! oh my god !

Rüdiger has been a great signing. I fancy him and Luiz to be the main CB pairing.

The team against City is likely to be the team against Huddersfield.. with obviously Hazard, Willian and Kanté to come back into the 11.

Courtois; Azpilicueta, Luiz, Rüdiger, Emerson; Kanté, Jorginho, Fabregas; Willian, Morata, Hazard.

I fancy that to be the 11 when everyone is fit and ready to play. LB, RW and CF positions could be improved so much.

I agree, I'd prefer Emerson to play LB because he can at least run.

Hoping we can sign a striker before the window ends too.

It'd be nice to see Bailey on the right and I think we'll probably sign another CM (Vecino)

Yeah I liked what I saw from the German last term...I would love Emerson to get serious game time and establish himself in there too

Christensen/Luiz and Rudiger looks likely atm

That'd do...as long as Emerson gets a chance

Hope so. Still not entirely sure what to make of him but the more game time he gets the better we’ll know.

Yes, Luiz and Rudiger will be the first team pairing I fancy.
Jorginho and Kante are definite starters in the middle, Azpi at right back, and Hazard on the left, but the remaining positions are up for grabs. Neither Fabregas (too old and slow) nor Barkley (too rubbish) are good enough.
I wouldn't mind Hazard starting on the right, and giving CHO a shot on the left. But we are still weak in in a few positions:
-------------------------?----------------------------
Azpi-----------Luiz------Rudiger----------?
----------------------Jorginho-------------------
-------------------------Kante-------------------
-----Hazard------------?----------------CHO--

Who starts in goal, your guess is as good as mine, looks like Teebo atm

We haven't been linked to a LB, so it'll be Alonso.

Midfield will most likely be Kante Jorginho and Cesc.

Pedro looks a certain starter at RW as he's been good in pre season. Hazard on the left and unfortunately Morata in strike

Really like Rudiger, think he’s gonna be immense for us for years. Guy seems like a big character too, that’s always a plus
