Juan Cuadrado

[Unionjack 7,531]

From what I saw of him before he joined us I thought he might be good for us. He could be good but I think at his best he will be very similar to Willian. And I think we need more than that.

Our problem is that with the size of our small (and getting smaller) squad when we bring in what seems a good player we NEED him to be on top of his game straight away. We haven't got the luxury of a mid table team that dont realistically have a chance of winning the PL or CL. They can get away with letting a player find his feet and experiment with positions etc. We have to do all that in the short pre season and if it goes wonky then we are fucked. And thats the same problem we have with academy lads.

We have so much expectations on us that we have to but/play 'complete and ready' players.

The only way round it would be a radical long term plan where we wouldnt have a proper chance of winning anything. And just imagine the chaos and anarchy that would cause.

everyone needs time to adjust, don't judge him just yet

Yea, I haven't given up just yet.

I'm sorry, that desire and workrate by Cuadrado today against Argentina was like Ramires and Willian combined! No joke, that was just unreal effort, absolutely unreal. Wasn't much effective going forward but neither were the entire Colombia team but the work he put in was astonishing. Huge respect.

Didn't watch the game but I have no problem believing you. I watched previous games and he actually impressed me. Very hard working and pacy on that wing. Hopefully he settles in our squad and manages to adapt to PL and we could end up with one of the best right wingers in the league (not really a lot of them anyway ).

he was also very rugged on the edge of being dirty

I haven`t seen any of Copa America but hope if he`s staying he can play alot more like you guys are saying for us. hope it`s not just a case of national pride turning him into a beast for them but then back to a timid pussy for us.

Let's be honest here i don't rate Victor Moses but he's much more suited to the Premier League then Cuadrado. He just hasn't got the strength, technique or from what i've seen the ability to make it at Chelsea.

Neither does Moses!

Moses has certainly got the strength as shown by playing for the dirtiest and most physical team in England Stoke.

How he played?

If he was so strong both mentally and physically, Im 100% sure that he will be playing with us or in the worst case with Liverpoool, remember he played for them for a year, and he was thrown out like a dirty dog, but no currently he is with no team and nobody wants him!!! As they should!!!

Moses didnt have the name to play for us long term to be honest. I remember him being serviceable.

I think Moses shone in a dark period & if we'd had better lightbulbs in the right places that season he'd have seemed like a dirty hooker light

Today there have been postitive contacts between the Nerazzurri and Chelsea for Colombian winger Juan Cuadrado (via @DiMarzio)

Chelsea seems willing for a proposed loan with mandatory redemption offer that arrives from Inter for Cuadrado. (via @DiMarzio)

We are definitely in for a new AM if thats true.
