bethos1 802 Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Whilst I agree with a lot of what is said in this thread, I feel people have lost fait in him like they did with Willian and I think Willian has totally turned it around. Instead of spunking 50M on Sterling I am totally intrigued to see that if he stays what Jose can do with him. I mean it's easy to spend big dollar on Sterling etc but at the same time we have put faith in what our manager can do with players in certain situations.For me personally he hasn't fully turned it around, sure he had a great 6 months but I'm not fully convinced that he'll keep it up for longer than that. Ofcourse I hope he does but I'm not sure that he will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unionjack 7,531 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 We do know that its not always easy to change clubs even in a players own country let alone moving to the PL where it must be a shock to the system. Whereas we get some that take to it like a duck to water others never adapt.The problem we have is we expect people to make an instant change and because of our high expectancies and also because of the small size of our squad we need new players to hit the ground running.I do feel sorry for alot of our lads who havent made that instant hit with both Jose and us and Im sure if we was a mid table club without the pressures of needing to fight for top 4 and yearly silverware we could afford to take a season or 2 to experiment and wear them in gradually.But we ARE Chelsea and we do have a small squad so the need for us to sign complete,un injured, at the height of their game players is really important and tho its not nice to have to have a revolving door policy on imports sometimes it is understandable unfortunately.IF he does end up going (last I read Juve were coming to talk to him http://metro.co.uk/2015/07/11/juventus-send-representatives-to-london-to-complete-transfer-of-chelseas-juan-cuadrado-5291521/) then I'm sure he wont be the last we do it to.

Cuadrado is going nowhere. Just the usual "need to create news to sell papers one month before the season starts". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the usual "need to create news to sell papers one month before the season starts". I don't think Cuadrado's going anywhere either but evwn suggesting it has something to do with the fact he's wearing a Chelsea shirt on the regional FIFA16 cover somewhere around the world is beyond ridiculous. I'm pretty sure things like that are on the bottom of the club's priorities when considering whether to sell him or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If EA is using Cuadrado with Chelsea kit, instead of Colombia one, its because they know Cuadrado won't be sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does get sold, they'll just change the cover star to another Chelsea player or Cuadrado with the shirt of his new club. The game won't be released until late September or early October anyway so they'll have plenty of time to make the change if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not entirely true as original fifa 14 cover had tottenham Gareth Bale of for him to later be sold and the kit changed to Madrid jersey BaleAbove me post made same point disregard..

Spurs is a small club, Real a giant one, and EA is a Chelsea partner. Thats why Cuadrado is on the cover. The public poll is just a lie. Oscar is the cover of Brazilian FIFA 16 cover. Another one who won't be sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfcs most wanted 657 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Well, we still have Salah. At this point, he can't be any worse than Cuadrado.He hasn't played a full ninety minutes and you are criticising him. he came in the January transfer window, he just needs some time to adjust . Not many players are like Matic who hit the ground running immediately after coming in from the January transfer window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jype 6,398 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Lets wait the end of the window...Yeah, let's do that. I already agreed with you that Cuadrado is going nowhere but my reasons for that assumption are based entirely on the fact he was a huge €30M investment by the club who should, and most likely will be, given at least a full year with proper pre-season preparation to show us his qualities. Your reason was that he appears on the scetch cover of a video game that will be released later this year.Now, which of these arguments sounds more sensible from the perspective of board members at one of the biggest football clubs in the world who decide what to do with Cuadrado's future?
