Juan Cuadrado

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

Maybe the lads working on shirt department having difficulty to put 74 on the back of the shirt, that the announcement need to wait any longer?

[illmatic 901]

I expect to wake up tomorrow morning and see the tweet.

I'm hoping that three days ago haha, I wake up and the first thing I do, is see the twitter of Chelsea .... and nothing !!.

Surely tomorrow is the day.

Nope.

[LAM09 6,744]

Would Cuadrado be eligible to play the Carling Cup final?

I would presume so.

[Stats 7,053]

Lol. Maybe against Swansea but not tonight anyway IMO

And why is that then? Are you going to state because he did not score or assist? Because I doubt you watched the game. Especially the first half if you think he did not do well today.

[Madmax 9,219]

Come on already. Waiting for this tweet : "Chelsea Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of Juan Cuadrado from Fiorentina. More to follow ..."

[Amblève. 4,995]

Better to wait for an official statement. Wouldnt want to do a Spurs with Willian lol

Or a Chelsea/Robinho, lol

[lucio 5,418]

is he having a medical now or what?

Di Marzio- official announcement is delayed: here’s why

Cuadrado to Chelsea is a done deal, but the official announcement has yet to arrive. The reason for the delay is that there were some issues tied to the FIFA "solidarity" provision, which entitles clubs who have developed Cuadrado to a 5% fee. It has yet to be determined who will pay this fee, but the parties are discussing this matter. This is the last obstacle before the deal can be completed.

Did this rule exist before this window??

[Pizy 18,368]

Christ...

We're going to announce this at the last possible second of the window when everyone and their mother knows he's been a Chelsea player for days, aren't we?

Just paid the damn fee

It's easy to say because it is not my money, lol

why not split it 50-50 that between two clubs involved

Considering how high up the pitch Ivanovic in general is playing, with also keeping in mind how poor he has been defensively for quite a while now, would it be realistic to assume Jose might want to try playing Cuadrado as a right-back?

Costa

Hazard Oscar Willian

Matic Cesc

Azpi Cuadrado

Terry Zouma

Willian-Cuadrado would easily make the fastest right wing in world football! And we would still have Ramires and Remy on the bench.

No way in hell will we see that in our lifetime. Ivanovic is undroppable.

Imagine a right wing of Cuadrado-Willian and left wing of Azpi-Luis (or Azpi-Cuadrado & Luis-Willian - whatever variation with Hazard playing CAM). We'd be so defensively solid on the wings that it would essentially force the opposition to go through the middle where we could set up pressing traps. I'd love to see that but it will obviously never happen.

Cuadrado is a right winger, not a right back! Anyway I thought the idea of signing Cuadrado was so that he'd give firm competition to Willian, whom at the moment, has been shit...

Secondly, there's no way Ivanovic can be dropped at the moment, we need someone who can play there naturally. There's been talk of Micah Richards joining on a free in the summer from Man City, but much as that would be frowned upon by some people here; deeming it as ridiculous and impossible, he is English..

I'd love to see that one as well.
