I like Rugani I think he's a good player but 45m? Is he better than Christensen or Rudiger? No, not for me. I don't understand why we're spending that amount of money on someone who could be our 3rd choice centre back. Luiz could be used as 3rd choice CB as he fits the Sarri mould Si why waste money on Rugani? I like Zouma but he's not good enough on the ball and Cahill's finished he should be 4th choice CB at best. I wouldn't splash that amount on a CB unless it's going towards someone like Koulibaly.

What I'm getting at is why not use that money on our problematic RW position which hasn't been filled for years? Willian and Pedro ain't good enough, one should definitely be moved on. I'd go all out for Leon Bailey now before his price tag rockets up more next season. He's left footed something we don't have and he'd be perfect cutting in from the right. And his pace is sensational. I just think we're using the money in the wrong areas of the squad.

Maybe Chelsea don't want to miss out on a cb who could potentially double or triple up in value if he has 1 solid season at Juventus given his age. His rated very highly in Italy, hasn't put a foot wrong every time he has played. It's a safe risk in my opinion.

Chelsea should still be able to get Bailey if they wanted but probably deem him a risk.

Rugani knows the way Sarri wants to play ball. It looks as if Sarri is trying to get a spine of players who alreay know his style.

Rugani/ Jorghino/ Higuain all have played under Sarri before, and seem to have loved it. It makes sense for Sarri to have a number of players who understand his system, it'll make it bit easier for him to implement if other players can learn off these 3, what he wants to get from the team.

That's just my take on it.

We've got to take into account the fact that it's such a short pre-season for Sarri. If he wants to introduce a new system (compared to our over-tried 3 at the back), then it's only natural he looks for players who are used to his management and style of play; hence Rugani.
