It isn't the be all and end all I know but, Teixeria is a far more technically able player than Cuadrao. Whatever he might turn into, I don't think it would be Juan #2. Whatever he turns out to be could result in £30m down the drain. I would prefer to spend a smaller amount on Mahrez. Younger, arguably the best player in the Prem so far this season and would be less of a risk.

Italian clubs were interested in him on a free...but now that he signed a 1-yr deal, get ready to see Ivanovic as Chelsea's starting RB in 2016/2017 I just have to hope the new manager sees the light.

If we really want Stones, this is the window to go all out. HG. It's all about that!

I hope the extension is way of the board making sure we get a fee for him in the summer. His time here should be over

He could well turn into Suarez type of buy. That could be said about a number of players. He could easily turn into Cuadrado #2.

How is it great news? He's probably the only player worth buying in January as we need goals! He isn't worth £30m+ IMO. I would prefer Mahrez all day long.

Liverpool want him. Great news IMO

Good for him. Club trying to ruin players careers.

I hope he isn't coming here. Not a fan one bit and he's cup-tied to boot.

He has turned a corner. Just hope he keeps on improving

See it ending in another draw

Tell Emenelo and Marina To Start move their asses! Want Emenelo as far away from target discussion as possible. Don't need another Papy, Hector, Juan, etc.

Halfway through the window and we still haven't bought anyone. We need to move fast as Hiddink said

Did a bit in the second half but was almost invisible in the first half. Why can't he turn up from the get go?

His fight is what I love. 11 players with his appetite would pull us over the line.

Why is he being stubborn with his selection. Iva and Pedro HAVE to be dropped if we want to win a game of football.

How on earth are the club seriously considering giving him a new contract. Is no one watching him?!

So dull. Pedro off at HT. Just as bad as Wednesday

Two defensive mids and Pedro starting. [emoji20]

Him ahead of Oscar. I hope Hiddink does the right thing.

We'll probably lead at some point but end up letting it slip and finish with a point. [emoji17]

One less team in the running to sign him. Us, PSG and Barca seem like the most realistic suitors.

Seemingly close. Not entirely against it, but I just don't think it will work out.

Offers much more than Pedro.

I guess they select the line up on the fifa rating or something. every game, we put out our "best team". that's the only explanation. That must be it. Mikel's initial inclusion might be down to favouritism (performances aside), but no reason to keep picking Oscar. Players seemingly can't do any wrong this season.
