We Hate Scouse 10,327 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Not even Torres was this bad, AFAIC. Cuadrado can't even hold onto the ball for more than 5 seconds FFS The man, the myth. I don't think even Mineiro knows how he ended up with a contract at Chelsea. Good thing we didn't have to watch him that often.Has to be Ricardo Quaresma for me. The guy was a complete fraud. Must be a Serie A thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Has to be Ricardo Quaresma for me. The guy was a complete fraud. Must be a Serie A thing.Can't be a fraud when he can produce a cross like this one for the second goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amblève. 4,995 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Has to be Ricardo Quaresma for me. The guy was a complete fraud. Must be a Serie A thing.Oh man, we're reaching some dark places now Quaresma at least was able to control the ball, though, something Cuadrado has struggled so far. Wow, that sounds depressing.

Blue Armour 4,448 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Can't be a fraud when he can produce a cross like this one for the second goal. But Drogba for that first goal...what a beast he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kellzfresh 7,229 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 It's a shame that most people watch him breaking records with the NT.Its a shame someone of his level will score more goals for Brazil than a phenomenon like Ronaldo... And people who just look at stats will even compare him to Pele because of goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Erm Neymar scored a perfectly legit goal as well that was wrongly ruled out hahahah why on Earth would you compare him to Cuadrado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellzfresh 7,229 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Erm Neymar scored a perfectly legit goal as well hahahah why on Earth would you compare him to Cuadrado.Neymar today was even worse than cuadrado against Stoke. He has the same ability of being terrible at holding the ball with their backs to the defender because he's too lightlike cuadrado. They both need to hit the gym....

Nothing wrong there I'm not saying cuadrado is on his level, I just said they both have this ability to lose the ball easily because they're too light and can't protect the ball from defenders with their backs in tight spaces.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I was one of those who were positive for signing, but my major concern was his strenght, as we needed someone who can hold up the ball and has balance (thats why I prefered Turan as he can dictate and keep the ball well). I thought Cuadrado is very unbalanced and not that strong, but some members quoted me he might be small, but strong like Sanchez or Sterling. Yes, I see that now...However I thought he is mentaly strong, because that is key to be able to dribble as well as he did in fiorentina. I guess was wrong bout that. He probably cant dribble past anything that has either pace or strenght which is more or less every PL player. Hopefuly scores a goal, puts good shift in next games and steps up.

Liquidator 5,176 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Did the actual Juan Cuadrado ever arrive in England from Italy? I'm becoming worried that we've somehow re-signed Shaun Wright Phillips and Cuadrado is actually living the high life in Vegas in casinos and snorting coke off of hookers' arses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I will let him have a pre season and see how he starts the next season, If there's no improvement by November that's when my head will start to turn.A bit like with Torres, just the only difference I was one of the first to turn against/give up on him, with Cuadrado ill probably be one of the last.

Must be a Serie A thing.He only really got a few cameos due to the manager who signed him getting sacked a week later but irrc he helped change the game at Pompey and assisted Lamps winner vs Wigan? could be wrong tho.

If Neymar came to the EPL, he wouldn't be much better than Cuadrado in terms of holding the ball from stronger defenders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juan can't even beat a man, so it's like watching Willian all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He falls under any slight contact and in the epl they won't give a foul just like cuadrado has realized. Neymar is better in other aspects except this. I don't know why its hard for you to understand what I mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
