mannyfreshh 164 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 A lot of reliable sources have been saying this is practically a done deal. Welcome to chelsea cuadrado Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLyon 9,359 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 He is quality player, but not potential world class and we would realy need some real quality ala Hazard added in attack.But he is replacing Salah/Schurrle, probably both will be gone, come summer and we will probably go for another winger anyway.Right now, Salah and Schurrle have been both realy poor this season, Cuadrado will be massive improvement over them. But long term, I dunno.I just hope if he arrives, he will be one of those signing that look nothing realy special, but they turn to be brilliant.

iseah100 5,612 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Reus isn't going anywhere until the end of the season, no reason we can't have both:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 If true I think this guy helps us a lot! He is very direct and his dribbling is phenomenal. He is exactly the kind of squad player I want, a guy who can inject dynamism into the squad and plays the game at a good pace. Oscar will enjoy playing with him the most.

I like this move a lot! He's not 'world class' but the things he does well (dribbling and running at players) he is definitely world class at. Look at the teams who were looking at him too, Barca, Man Utd... both of them look to add dynamic players. I think Cuadrado is what our bench has been missing...

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Salah hasn't played to be POOR!when he has he hasn't impacted any game... Not even against lower division teams... If he can't come in and take his chances against shitty opposition there is no way Jose will trust him to play in bigger games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't deliver deliver at the drop of the hat, and most can't either. People need to wake up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 26m, i don't think he will be on the bench a lot. He will be a legitimate threat to Willian or Oscar's place in the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't deliver deliver at the drop of the hat, and most can't either. People need to wake up.Willian has other aspects of his game that make him valuable. Have you ever seen Salah press and win a ball? Have you ever seen him crush a ball from outside the box into the top corner? Willian is miles ahead of Salah in terms of what the team needs are.
