Term-X 7,891 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 His wages better be low!, a player of this calibre isn't worth what we're paying, might as well wait and compete with Bayern/City for Reus in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Manchester United will not be rivalling Chelsea for Fiorentina star Juan Cuadrado, according to Sky sources.Of course they won't, it was just SKY trying to get more interest in their 'Story' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,897 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Do some of these outlets claiming that if we do sign him he'll be playing against City really think he'd be thrown in to our biggest game of the season without a single training session? Really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Cuadrado will be in 'crazy mode' to prove his worth immediately.Yeah, but José wouldn't disrepect Willian like that by immediately benching him for a new player.Just imagine the buzz around here if we beat City (likely without a couple of our best players) we go 8 points clear, and have a shiny new toy ready for the next match. This could be a fantastic weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eidur the Spider 4,515 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Talks between #CFC and #Fiorentina have stepped up over the past 24 hours. Chelsea were closing in on the deal last night (Evening Standard)As part of the Cuadrado negotiations, Chelsea have offered to pay cash + agree to loan Salah to them for 18 months. (Evening Standard) #CFCBoth Salah and Schurrle were at training yesterday, but the latter is on the verge of a return to the Bundesliga. #CFC (Evening Standard)Despite claims to the contrary, Wolfsburg have made a £23.5m offer [for Schurrle], while #BVB are also keen.

bababoom 4,478 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Chelsea continues to push for Juan Cuadrado. The parts are in continuous contact, negotiation proceeds sent and - thanks to the work of the outside Colombian agent, Alessandro Lucci - there seem to be all the conditions for the transaction can close quickly. Also close to the Economic Agreement between the Blues and the outside of Fiorentina, understanding on how to engage that will not be a problem. Mourinho can smile, Cuadrado closer.

Madmax 9,219 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 His wages better be low!, a player of this calibre isn't worth what we're paying, might as well wait and compete with Bayern/City for Reus in the summer.If his wages are around the ~65k p/w mark, we won't suffer any extra FFP hit over Schurrle's current £7.9m (assuming it is Schurrle who's leaving). Going by our excellent financial track record with recent squad role signings though, I'd wager he'll make much below that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNDS 502 Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Salah and Schurrle out but only Cuadrado in. Concerns me. As others have said, we may still be trying to get Douglas Costa as well. Shakhtar's CEO has apparently said that negotiations with us are ongoing, and that the situation should be resolved (one way or another) within the next 2-3 days.

We need replacements for Matic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, it's much more likely that José would just play Ramires on the wing if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst it is true that we need a squad player who is capable of being a genuine like-for-like replacement for Matic, I'm not convinced that Sissoko would be the right fit. He could replace either Mikel or Ramires should we end up moving one of them on in the summer, however.Edit: I quite like the look of Gonalons at Lyon; I think he could serve us well as the 'Matic back-up' in the squad.
