xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Cuadrado is just another Willian, only more flamboyant and way less disciplined tactically. Does not fit anywhere in the Mourinho system, just wait and see. Both Schürrle and Salah have way better potential to fit in, they just needed attention and playtime. What this team needs is another solid DM beside Matic - Modric / Busquets / Khedeira. Someone with the ability to deliver at both long and short range.Khedira... ugh...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Cannot wait to see this lad in action. I haven't seen a massive amount from him but the people I know who have, think he is fucking brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Considering how high up the pitch Ivanovic in general is playing, with also keeping in mind how poor he has been defensively for quite a while now, would it be realistic to assume Jose might want to try playing Cuadrado as a right-back? Costa Hazard Oscar Willian Matic Cesc Azpi Cuadrado Terry ZoumaWillian-Cuadrado would easily make the fastest right wing in world football! And we would still have Ramires and Remy on the bench.That would be devastating going forward but less dynamic defensively. Wouldn't mind seeing that if we're chasing the game I doubt we'll see it from the start because Jose loves Brana's set piece threat and also his toughness.

Henrique 9,133 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Cuadrado is a right winger, not a right back! Anyway I thought the idea of signing Cuadrado was so that he'd give firm competition to Willian, whom at the moment, has been shit...Secondly, there's no way Ivanovic can be dropped at the moment, we need someone who can play there naturally. There's been talk of Micah Richards joining on a free in the summer from Man City, but much as that would be frowned upon by some people here; deeming it as ridiculous and impossible, he is English..Ivanovic was a CB before Hiddink turned him into a right back.Bale was a full back before becoming a winger.

From the day he was signed I've been saying that he would never make it here.Schurrle is probably the most overrated player to ever wear a Chelsea shirt. The amount of things I've heard about him after his decent WC were abusive. Someone who never watched any WC game would get the feeling Schurli was a top 3 player in WC reading the forum (actually he was not even a starting, and only played the final due to 3 or 4 players getting injured).

Someone who never watched any WC game would get the feeling Schurli was a top 3 player in WC reading the forum (actually he was not even a starting, and only played the final due to 3 or 4 players getting injured).Schürrle deserved to win best player in the WC, despite the fact that I'm not a great fan. He scored 3 goals coming off the bench, and provided two crucial assists one of which won his country the trophy. I don't know of anyone in the WC who even comes close to these stats. But then best player is not awarded based on stats or science, as we all know.Salah had phenomenal stats too, until he came to Chelsea. This includes (1) scoring 4 goals in the CL last year, better than all Chelsea players in the same tournament, same season, except for Hazard, (2) has the best dribbling success rate compared to all his (former) Chelsea peers, excluding, again, Hazard, (3) scored 4 goals in his 6 games against English teams, before joining Chelsea, and, (4) has the highest scoring record in his country's history, at his age category. The fact that Scûrrle or Salah underperformed for Chelsea does not mean they're not good players. Heck it doesn't necessarily mean "they're not Chelsea material". It only means, given their out-of-Chelsa stats, that they do not fit the Mourinho system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is still the third leading scorer for Basel for that period, and only to two center forwards. You also ignored all the other facts. You may not like him for some reason, and that's totally understandable. But stats don't lie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oscar 441 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Regulary plays on the right with his right foot.Didn't watch serie a, however, I read he played more as a second striker, than a right winger the past season when he blew up...Wouldn't that be the same situation Andre is?
