He’s a much better defender than that Brazilian clown who they played at the Etihad.
Rudiger is a very quick, hostile & aggressive defender. The kind we don’t like playing.
I think he's a wreckless clown who chases the ball like an 8 year old kid on the school yard. Should have been punished for his petulant aggression way more than he has through his career.

He is a class player, who has been quality for us… maybe our game has changed and he no longer fits, but reckless clown for a current player, who has won 12 trophies with us, is too much!
 
Someone will get a cracking player at a decent price.

Don’t see a team bar ours he doesn’t get decent game time in the Prem.

Hope we sell him abroad.
He's top quality, the only issue is he's becoming prone to injury and has already had a few serious one's that seem to be starting to take their toll on him.

He played on through injury in 2021/22 when it seemed like he was the only defender left standing. Got us over the line for the title but I think he's paid the price physically.

100%

Incredible that he played in that period, even more so with the time it took him to recover the following season.

A superb signing and a credit to himself and the club.
 
Doesn’t suit playing in a high line back 3, great player if he is at a club who plays a nice normal back 4 with a standard line.
 
I'm still hoping that Laporte stays and that Gvardiol is destined to be a midfielder like Rodri.
 
I think overall Laporte is fantastic but he has become a casualty of Peps defensive changes. Pep used to accept defensive errors as an inevitability of his defenders playing out from the back. In a large majority of games this was fine but how many times did we see these defensive errors cost us in big games?

Pep has become a lot more pragmatic and he wants the defensive lapses that both Laporte and Cancelo were susceptible to eradicated, even if the trade-off is our defenders not being as progressive in possession. I don’t believe that a couple of years ago Pep would have ever preferred Ake over Laporte but he certainly does now. I would hazard a guess that is why Gvardiol is top of Peps wanted list…defends as well/better than Ake and is also up there with Laporte with the ball at his feet.
