Mohamed Salah

[LAM09 7,043]

I still dont see a issue here ?

Have you seen Cuadrado play for 90 minutes straight? No.

Do Chelsea lack money? No.

Did you pay yourself? No.

Did we literally lost points because of Cuadrado? No.

Just because you're a fanboy doesn't mean we all have to put up with this bullshit. We are at the point that it's not discussion and opinions anymore.

It's literally Salah fanboys vs Salah haters vs Actually reasonable posters.

Don't beat the dead horse, it's pointless.

He is performing well, he is still a Chelsea player.

Have you heard of FFP?

I'm no fanboy, but someone that knows something about football. If you think it's fine to waste money on players that are sub par to what we have got, then; you need to wake up.

I have seen Juan play, but we overpaid as I said before we signed him. Also, if you don't want to see/read said "bullshit", DON'T COME INTO THE THREAD. Problem solved!

P.S. If your gonna be part of a discussion, please bring something to it other than labeling people unnecessarily.

Ok, let's discuss.

Why is Cuadrado a waste of money? He has yet to play a full match. Early to judge mate.

We don't have a problem with FFP at all. We spent big this summer and still came out even(+-). This is without counting the countless player loan money we get and TV revenue + stadium revenue etc.

Don't label a player a flop before he played a full match just because Momo Salah happens to hit the form of his life.

PS: I had to sadly check on wich thread i am. They seem all the same today.

Wait, so now people are suggesting Salah is better than Cuadrado? or its just that LAM09 guy?

We're fine with FFP ATM, but I would have preferred that money to go to a WC player we need. Pogba being that player.

I've never called Juan a flop, but I know the chances of him being a star on the right wing are very small. Salah's form doesn't shock me at all. You along with a few others think Salah has supposedly transformed. He has always been the same player, but he's playing regularly.

Read the thread, and you'll find the answer to your own question. Some people have their eyes open.

I said it before, but Salah really fell into the perfect situation with the position he's playing.

His first goal yesterday was wonderful, but look at the 2nd goal, that's how he has mostly been scoring - He's standing in the middle and the ball finds its way to him and he finishes it off.

If he were to return to Chelsea, I think he'll still struggle playing as a disciplined winger.

Signing Cuadrado was a gamble we took and we have yet to see how that gamble turns out to be.

As for Salah's form it actually does shock me. He had a few chances but looked very bad when he played.

I don't buy into the match fitness thing, it's not like he played 20 matches before he started playing good for the Italian side.

If Cuadrado turns out to be a flop then indeed it's a waste of money but you never know. 30+ million is an awful lot of money but we can cope with it.

Some players just do better at other leagues/clubs it's just how it is.

If he wants to and chooses to come back i hope we give him a chance, assuming he continues to play well.

I have my eyes open... i saw Salah in Chelsea and he looked like its way out of his league. Im glad he's doing fine in Fiorentina but its a completely different thing. He plays there as some kind of 2nd striker and they play on counter attacks, it suits his amazing pace, but here he would never succeed. As for Cuadrado, i mostly saw him in the last WC, so not a lot, but he looks a player with better techniques who got more variety of abilities.

That first goal won't happen at Chelsea because I'm yet to see a team leave just 2 players at the back against us.

We gave him chances against smaller teams where they defend, and he was so poor because there was no space to run. He loses the ball too much for a big team imo the only thing that has surprised me is his finishing.

Remember how many times he shot to the sky or off target when he had a chance to score?

It's a case of lukaku at Everton and lukaku at Chelsea. No space from opponents against Chelsea, space from opponents when you play in a smaller team.

Mourinho also likes his right winger defending because hazard doesn't defend as much, so if you want the freedom of just not tracking back like willian is doing and schurlle couldn't do then you have to be better than hazard.

The only player who I regret is KDB not salah. I liked him (passing, crossing, long range shooting, and freekicks) and never knew how he lost his place after one poor manutd match.

His directness on the counter would have been great for us. Much better than the attacking threat Willian poses.

Juan played in the same league as Salah is now. He has already out performed in just over a month.

I presume it's down to luck?

I haven't seen Salah play 90 minutes for chelsea this season also!

hmmm.... League cup maybe? Last season? No? Salah had some oppertunities for chelsea and did bad in most of them. Cuadrado started 1 game. Judge him after he starts atleast 3 games.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

He was actualy realy good since game one for fiorentina. I wonder why Cuadrado needs so long to ''adjust'' I read here every day. Yeah its bigger club, bigger team, but its also a better player, you dont pay 30m for someone who needs half season to adjust. One month yes, then when he gets chance he needs to be one of more visible players, not playing side role until he is sold.

League cup No, last season yes he played 90 minutes against southampton and stoke and he was decent in those matches.
