Just wondering if anyone who watches Italian football can give me a bit of detail about what type of player Antonio Rudiger is as I've never seen him play.

He is good enough to be regular starter for World Champions. That's says quite a lot especially considering competition in German national team.

I'm not sure there's that much competition at the heart of the German defence - Hummels, Mertesaker, Boateng, Howedes? I wouldn't rate any of them as 'World class'. A good team but middle defensively suspect - a lot like England. I have watched Rudiger many times and I'm not greatly impressed to be honest - I would much prefer Bonucci or Koulibaly but I don't think either will be made available. I'm still hoping for John Stones or stick with Tomori and Jake Clarke-Salter as back-ups to Zouma, JT and Ivan.

Not impressed with Rudiger who was heavily relied on by his team but you're hoping for Stones, who had an awful season and couldn't get into his team on several occasions lol. And your other preference is keeping what we have at CB LOL.

Yes, Bluelab, I would buy Stones who has certainly got room for improvement but is 21 - is Hazard a crap player just because he was crap for most of last season? And we won the Prem with Ivan, Cahill, Terry and Aspi only the season before last and we now add a more experienced Zouma - it is a waiting game as I think Tomori and Clarke-Salter will be ready within 2 years and I think both will be better than Rudiger (Tomori could play RB now) . Remember, we also refused to sell Christianson. And JT, in his last season, will want to go out on a high.
