'Everyone hates playing him': Former Blue Frank LeBoeuf on 'main man' Rudiger

Ladbrokes

Former Blue Frank LeBoeuf spoke to Ladbrokes about 

"I'm very fond of Rudiger; that guy amazed me because he wasn't playing anymore and Tuchel believed in him and put him back where 

 was when everything was good about him and the defence was working well.

"Tuchel put him in and Rudiger became another player.

"Two years ago when I saw him playing I said, 'He cannot play for 

' and now look, he's the main man, everyone hates (playing) him."

 and his contract situation still remains uncertain.

 on Reddit has explained exactly why Rudi has said nothing wrong.

The fan wrote: "Nothing wrong with that statement by Rudi. The question was put to him and he answered it diplomatically. He's stopped short of the craven "come and get me" type comments we've seen from 

"The question he responded to was 'Would you like to go to the 

 this summer?' As if he's going to say - 'Bundesliga is shit, I'm Chelsea till I die' - in the midst of contract negotiations.

"If Chelsea don't want to give a big enough raise to a player attracting interest from Bayern, Real Madrid, etc. then he's well within his rights to run his contract down. 

"I don't think this interest from the biggest clubs is just his agent blowing smoke to pressure Chelsea either. I'd imagine its quite genuine with the way Toni is playing right now. We should give him a fat raise. He's earned it."

Rudiger will be free to agree terms with other clubs as soon as the January transfer window begins.
