Juan Cuadrado

That Costa guy only played 6 games? Why are we in for him then?

That Costa guy only played 6 games? Why are we in for him then?

I think that's based on the 6 Champions League group games that he has played this season rather than the 10 (+4 sub) appearances he has made in the 14 league games Shaktar have played.

Some teams played more than 6 games in the CL group stages? Squawka don't provide stats for the Ukrainian league, so only his CL stats are available for the comparison.

1. Cuadrado

2.Costa

3. Valencia (Westham).

So in a matter of days we've gone from Messi to Reus to Cuadrado to Costa and finally to Valencia? What next, we decide against buying anyone and recall the mighty Marko Marin?

We were never in for Messi, and Reus can pretty much name his club and price. From what has been rumoured recently, it seems that Cuadrado would be Schurrle's replacement in the squad (direct/long-range shooter/counter-attack threat who runs into space etc), and if Schurrle is going to end up staying then the club is unwilling to meet Cuadrado's buy-out clause. Salah looks much more likely to depart during this transfer window, and so we are looking for a direct replacement for him; Douglas Costa may fit the bill. We might look to upgrade the starting RW in the summer when there will be more viable options available to us.

That post is far too sensible to be a part of this discussion. [emoji14]

I agree with you on everything, was just laughing at how the media report these transfer stories.

[Special Juan 28,132]

Confirmed that if someone goes he expects us to bring in.

[Special Juan 28,132]

Cuadrado is not marked as someone being touted. Smoke screen as expected.

Well, I'll certainly agree with you that a sequence of 'potential transfers' that begins with MESSI, and then moves on down through Reus, Cuadrado, Douglas Costa, and finishes at ENNER VALENCIA is pretty hilarious .

Watching presser, can't help but feel that Salah AND Schurrle could be out

Or Jose just not letting anything on. If he admits interest it sparks other clubs

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Jose trying to milk more money for Schurrle and Salah.

yeah. pretending to want them to stay. not saying they definitely will

[Special Juan 28,132]

I'm sorry but to me this sounds like two are going out.
