petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Turan. But if we can't get a significant upgrade on Willian then it's best not to get anyone at all (especially not for £27m) because we'll just end up having to upgrade on them too.Arda Turan is an attacking midfielder converted into a left winger by Simeone. And his goal scoring record isn't that great to be fair; nor his assist ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel1980 1,425 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Turan isn't exactly a creative mastermind. And his end product is worse than Cuadrado's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iseah100 5,612 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'd sell Shirley and Salah for Cuardado and Reus in the summer:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 88 games for Fiorentina, only 23 goals. This is in a system where he doesn't have to be as disciplined as Willian, in regards to tracking back etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I think people need to stop looking at other situations as a means for why it could work now. Look at the style we are trying to play, this is Jose's team, not Ancellotti's. We are playing a very different system from the ones we've played before and you need certain player who fit THAT style, its not a matter of "Turan is good we should get him"Yeah but I didnt meant that. I would buy Turan because he suits us, not just because he is good player. He is exactly what we lack there. He is calm as fuck when he has the ball and great at holding it, he would be perfect for counters. He is hardworker, great character too, suits Mou profile.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 As most people I don't have the time to follow every random player we are linked up and watch all his matches. IMO one can also make an opinion by watching match highlights. Idk if posted before but I found that pretty informative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk if posted before but I found that pretty informative He plays in one of the top five leagues in the world, and Fiorentina have been in Europe for the last couple of seasons. In addition, he played an important part in Colombia's WC campaign.He isn't a "random player". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that Cuadrado played as a wingback early on at Fiorentina(and had to defend more than Hazard), his stats are more than decent.

Rekin 835 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Haha, some of the comments here. I suggest we buy a hard working, defensively able two-footed right winger who has scored 16 billion billion goals in the last two seasons and is available for £13m, he seems to be the only one fitting our profile for what we need.People, seriously. Ok if you have watched him a lot and actually dont believe in him, nothing wrong with that. But to simply look at his goalratio, a couple of vs videos and then dismiss him because he didnt do god knows what is simply laughable. How many of those dismissing him can honestly say that they have seen him play in more than 15 full games?I know someone who has seen him for more than 15 games and who isnt dismissing him. Whatever scout working for Chelsea who recommended him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Every time we are linked with a player, he immediately gets both incredibly over-hyped and incredible underrated on here (and other forums, I'd imagine).For the people asking and making comparison about his style, he's not similar to Willian nor Schurrle. If I had to compare his style to someone, it would be Victor Moses. Obviously he's better, but the styles are similar. He's very good at tracking back, physically strong, with decent pace and dribbling with a bit more flair than Moses.I don't expect him to score a lot more often than Willian in our system and certainly not more than Schurrle. But he's someone who I think Jose can rely on to do a job but like I said before, I have my doubts about how much impact he can really have at a top club. This is a completely different challenge than Fiorentina.The price is completely over the top, but I guess that is to be expected in the winter market..

Pizy 18,909 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 We'll be kicking ourselves if we spend on Cuadrado now and see Reus go to another English club in the summer. Like someone said, it may be smarter to wait and see who's available next window. Some top, world class player may be unsettled or out of a contract. Think Cuadrado is a good player but we should wait for a great one instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone to come in one has to go and if Reus is truly available and WANTS to play for Chelsea we will find a deal to get him here.
