Are we just trying to buy him to replace Salah? We could easily promote a young player to play the benchwarmer role. RW is not even our absolute priority , that would be a CB. I'd understand if we overpaid for a quality defender even cup-tied but this I can't..

I hope this deal never goes through.

We only have Willian at rw. How is it not a priority???? People dismissed the Costa deal aswell.

I agree that a young fast CB to play the high line effectively is a bigger priority, but RW is important too. We're very predictable because of the lack of threat from RW.

I'm not saying we don't need a RW. I even said on another thread that I would pick Reus over Pogba if I had the choice. However what I'm not in for is wasting money on a marginal upgrade when Willian is doing is a monstruous defensive work. We should only be buying if the right player is available otherwise we're not going to make any considerable progress.

I was an advocate of the Costa transfer at the time. His price tag was reasonable for a player of his quality and the only other striker we had was Torres. different situation IMO.

Youre racist if you compare Cuadrado to Willian. They couldn't be anymore different. Sick of seeing that comparison when they couldn't be anymore different. It's so incredibly lazy.

Well, I think they're pretty similar players (good technique, high work rate, great defensive acumen, good dribblers), and I'm black as well. Does that mean I'm racist to my own kind? :o

Cuadrado is the best option we could have gotten in this window. He's a massive upgrade to Schurrle and Salah and will put a lot of pressure on Willian. An actual right winger that will stretch teams and doesn't have the tendency to cut in all the time. He's also not cup-tied and can play in the CL. Win - Win scenario for us.

Remember when you thought Willian was not better than Moses and we were mad to spend 30m last summer ;)

Well, Moses was pretty good in his first and only year at Chelsea and Willian is a bit disappointing.. It's not a crazy thing to say.

To this day I dont understand why we signed Salah in first place, when we could recall Moses. Unless Moses was desperate to leave to play more and Mou let him go.

Because he scored against us.

Actually said we should have signed Falcao as well as back up to Costa after he was available for 6-8m loan. At the time it seems a good deal obviously. No need to twist things mate :)

It was clear that Moses had no future whatsoever with Chelsea and be sold the next summer. Why would the club decrease his market value by keeping him for bench warming ?

Salah was a gamble, his future in Chelsea can be bright given the chance, and talented enough, in case he failed to grasp it, to join the loanees colony, get some value and sold.
