Juan Cuadrado

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

He normally doesn't take penalties(he took only 1 penalty ever for Fiorentina). And Costa isn't an established penalty taker for us. I don't know where people got the idea Costa will take penalties for sure. When Hazard didn't play, Fabregas took the penalty for us.

He just scored one yesterday?

Also our order is this I think:

1st Hazard, 2nd Fabregas, 2nd Drogba(if he is on the pitch), 3rd Costa, 4th Oscar. Oscar and Costa can also probably swap around but we will never find out.

The one he took yesterday was the only one he took.

Agree on our order.

Then he has 100% record. Established pk taker then

[Daniel1980 1,425]

Took them pretty consistently for Atletico I think?

He missed a good share of them at Atletico. I wouldn't choose him as a second or even third choice penalty taker and it seems Jose doesn't either.

Heard Cuadrad takes them for Fiorentina (and did take one recently) and Costa scored a lot of goals from penalties for Atleti. Prettr sure he'll take one in a shootout situation.

Cuadrado normally doesn't take penalties for Fiorentina and yesterday's penalty was the only one he scored for them at least in official competitions. Costa failed to score quite a few penalties at Atletico. He might take one in a shootout situation, but I don't think he'll be a nailed on choice in a non-shootout situation. And I'm pretty sure either Hazard or Fabregas (or Drogba if he's playing) will take the decisive(4th or 5th) penalty in a shootout situation, not Costa.

Saying goodbye to the fans by scoring a penalty goal just before a transfer?

Fair enough. But I'd trust Costa to blast in the first pen in a shootout.

Or saying "I'm here to stay and going to take penalties from now on"

Maybe.

If he does leave this proves new contract means FA if the player wants to move and a big club comes in to put a big bid

http://www.espnfc.com/fiorentina/story/2107622/juan-cuadrado-signs-new-contract-at-fiorentina-until-2019

He only signed it just 3 months ago, now look like already off. So even if Hazard put a new 5 years contract I would slightly be worried about potential Madrid come knocking but confident we can keep him by bringing trophies yearly and challenging for the titles.

Costa scored a PK against Chelsea in the CL, didn't he?

Yep, smashed it high down the middle.

[gary gordon 1,777]

Speaking to my mate who supports Florentina and he reckons he's an absolute workhorse! He hopes they don't sell him to us because he rates him heaps. Now i know why José wants him.

We need a centre back and a super star RW who can score goals. Since we're cooperating strictly with FFP, it seems a waste to spend almost £30m to only marginally improve the squad.

Who could we buy though? there's a shortage of proper right wingers at the top level so to find one who can score goals consistently will cost an awful lot. Bale and Reus are the obvious names, Reus looks nailed on to go to Real and Bale will go for crazy money.

Who could we buy though? first of all theres a shortage in proper right wingers at the top level so to find one who can score goals will cost an awful lot. Bale and Reus are the obvious names, Reus looks nailed on to go to Real and Bale will go for crazy money.

Is he really nailed on for Real though, nothing solid out there reporting that, in fact it's Man-City's name that pops up when you google it.

A lot of the spanish media report that he has his heart set, could be bollocks though.
