It would be unfair to pass judgment on Cuadrado right now but with the way he's been playing, he'll be in the Premier League flops list pretty soon. Can't fault him for trying and he did try to work hard and put the challenges in against Crystal Palace. But think he's been too eager to impress and tried to overcomplicate matters when simplicity is the best option. Most of Palace's attacks started because of his inability to keep things simple and connect with others. That's without even mentioning the fact that he's incredibly lightweight and gets brushed off the ball so easily. Even Salah, who joined us from probably an even weaker league, didn't struggle this badly when we got him.

I got this transfer so wrong, I'm disappointed at how weak on the ball he is. He's a good dribbler but what use is that if you fall everytime you're touched.

If I was weak on the ball, I'll at the very least practice how to win fouls by putting my body between the marker and the ball when people try to get the ball from me. But he's not good at any and it's so frustrating.

Someone said something in the Bertrand traore thread and it dawned on me, he's actually better than anything I've seen from cuadrado so far.

If he doesn't bulk up this summer or he doesn't beg hazard to teach him how to win fouls, we could be watching our worst transfer since torres.

For me he's a lost cause.

One user said this brilliantly, it's one thing to getting used to the tempo and the other looking completely hopeless whenever on the pitch.

He hasn't showed anything yet and the most depressing was when he came on against Stoke and was tackled aggressively by Charlie Adam. Later he was afraid to do absolutely anything, because it hurts. Bully treated him badly in school ! Mind of a child.

He's physically and mentally weak. Sell him to Barca to play as their right-back to the idea Barca board had in the last summer :P

Or keep him and in the next year replace him with Boga or Musonda.

I see years and years of pain ahead as long as he is here. Like Kalou, but without the goals - meaning he's completely useless.

I just hope we don't suffer next season for having such a poor back-up player. Let's all hope Hazard/Willian stay fit...

That's still bearable as long as he doesn't reach the Torres level of uselessness...

Ignoring fee for a moment, I can see Cuadrado flopping harder than Torres. Based on what I've seen I seriously have 0 faith in him. There is no excuse for being that useless.

Useless going forward - Bosingwa was better. Unbelievably useless tracking back - Mata was better.
