I dont think its a 'great' price, but its ok. I would rate him at 27-30 million Euros.

Gazzetta dello Sport reporting Chelsea and Fiorentina have reached an agreement for Cuadrado. Fee is €33.4m plus loan of Salah.

Sunday night or Monday?

The most predictable goal in the world of football.

Again, was never reported in Sky.

wow you're fun..

Without Cesc we only have Hazard to really create, i just dont think its enough and we can pay for it.

A passage? one of our best and important players, really? im not suggesting he should play in the pivot with Matic alone, we should play with Ramires and Cesc. Willian/Oscar should be droped.

So apart from City he'll probably gonna miss Everton at home which im confident we'll win without him, and Villa away which can be tricky (?)....

When Costa dont play, we have to play Cesc... really hope he'll be fine for the game.

lol its the stupidest "report" i have ever seen... Fiorentina dont neet to 'agree' anything if we pay the buy-out clause...

He doesnt look like someone who's going to leave...

I dont know... he was a wonderful finisher in around 2012 (FA cup final, Camp Nou for example). We need a good Ramires, always good to have him in those big games.

He's such a pathetic clown, Sky Italia didnt report that anywhere....

he added this ROB ‏@1RobBeasley It's only on loan though by the sound of it

He's a quality option for the summer, but not as the RW we are looking for right now. Cant see him adding something from that position, he does it well in Newcastle because they play on counter attacks. I like him in the middle, and he could be a good cheaper partner than Pogba for Matic and Cesc, for the games we're in the need for more power in the middle. Through I think the best type of player for us would be someone who can also play in Matic's position AND play like Sissoko in the '8', maybe Imbula though I don't know him too well. Or we'll sell both Mikel and Ramires and get two new guys for their spots in the squad.

As long as Schurlle is still here i cant see it happening, we still have to pay his full realese clause. Those reports from Sky ("discussions are still ongoing") sounds a bit weak. Fiorneinta are waiting for someone to pay the clause, there's no room for discussions. Their director said tonight: "At Fiorentina nobody has called. Everyday that passes, the dangers of losing Cuadrado decrease."

You are wrong, Douglas Costa played two games for Brazil, the same number of games Willian played for Brazil before he joined us. Its proving to be very hard to get to Brazil's squad, look at Fernandinho, F. Luis, Miranda, Willian and a lot more. How many times you've heard of Cuadrado before last season? he's also two years older than Costa. Yes Cuadrado got better rep than Costa, but it doesnt say much. My point is that people in this forum thwroing their opinions on players they dont know at all. In this case they know non of the two.

Honestly? i dont know who would do better here - Cuadrado or Costa. I havent seen them enough times to say, and non of them is proven in a big club. From my view, both can sit on the bench and both can play insted of Willian in the RW spot. I dont know who's more talented. And like you i would like us to get a world class RW, but there are some facts - you cant do that in January (maybe not in the summer as well), Salah and Schurlle cant contribute, and both are wanted by other teams. Therefore the club's options are: 1) To say to all teams no one is leaving us in Jan. 2) to try to sell one of those two players who cant contribute, and get a player that might will contribute. The decision is easy imo. In the summer you might have better options.

You still cant say you saw both Cuadrado and Costa enough times to say who's better and by how much, you keep talking about reputation (World cup, how many times people heard about the guy), i dont think that with this little evidence you should actaully post things like "Please dont buy him, why not Cuadrado", because its childish and silly. Our club follows those players, actually see them play. You didnt see them, yet you have no shame to talk about who should we sign. In other forums i know those kind of posts would be criticized, here its what everybody do.

thats actually true i feel... though i really like him like everybody, the hype about him is unbelievable really. Funny that suddenly Cuadrado is so wanted here after the D.Costa rumors started... when no one here saw them both more than 4 times. this forum is a disappointment, full of spoiled kids it seems. "Costa? another brazilian from Shaktar? and he doesnt score a lot? bah, give me Cuadrado... why? he aint this useless Costa!"... dont you think its embarrassing?

Can i ask how many times you've seen him play?

Montella today: "I believe it's a simple situation, he has an exit clause that he agreed to with the club: if someone pays it and he wants to leave, we can't do anything about it. But he's off the market for the club and I, but when there is a clause there is nothing you can do". The rumors about a resign if they sell Cuadrado seems like bs.

We're five points clear in the league, what the hell are you talking about? kickstart the season again? "mentality"? "freshen the place up"? ridiculous.

Well City arent in the best form, two loses at home and a draw in their last 3 in all competitions. Easy win on Tuesday.
