I thought he was in the World XI in 2002 before he joined us. Or am I wrong?

Close. It was the UEFA team of the year in 2002, Duffer was alongside Zindane, Ronaldo, Henry, Roberto Carlos, Ballack etc.

Ah, beat me to it

Considering they paid overall £17m for his ownership, doubt they will only want £3m profit. Obviously they will demand full £27m. Just hope we can do it as a 20-23+ bonuses.

Also transfermarkt is rating him as £28m anyway, they are not far off the true value usually. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/juan-cuadrado/profil/spieler/91970

Was most likely scenario. Only if we had agreed a fee or matched his buyout would he have been left out

dont thin k so. matic played vs porto. very soon before signing

Exactly, signed 3 days after playing against Porto. I doubt people like Di Marzio just start the bs rumor out of nowhere for the sake of it.

Also just scored a penalty for Fiorentina

I haven't seen as much from him as I would like so I might not be completely accurate, but from memory and reports online he doesn't look like a big upgrade on Willian. Very overpriced for a player of his caliber. I understand that Fiorentina paid huge money for him (about 20m) and he made himself a reputation both in national team and the italian league but in times of FFP we have to be spending money wisely. More likely than not, he will be our only signing in the AM department if it happens.

I like about him that he's very versatile, that will come in handy for tactical changes and unfortunate circumstances. He's very explosive compared to the brazilian and has a better shoot in him. but he's very sloppy in terms of tactical awareness and his decision making can be very shocking (deja vu?). Willian in terms of defensive contribution is miles ahead of him and he can secure his flank almost as much as a Ramires would.

Also I'm not believing in this Schurrle exit rumors tbh. Jose and even the player admitted he was extremelly sick and refused to comment further. He was dropped at half time more often than one would expect Jose to do. He generally likes to give his players more time in the second half before he subs them out, not to mention his sudden dip in form is quite unordinary. I still think he will play a huge role for us when he will be fully back fit.

Sky reporting it aswell now.

[Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067]

if he had scored from open play the price would have shot up 10mil haha
