 Cuadrado was great last season and Conte knows how to get the best out of him and the right side would be much better in defense because Cuadrado is good at defending he has played for Juventus as a RWB and he was great.

Hold on, he wasn't "great". He had a couple of excellent games and a few awful ones as well. Overall he was average, which is why Juve didn't try to sign on a permanent basis.

we have so much deadwood that really, keeping Cuadrado as a squad member is the least of my problems and I don't like his football at all.

There's a long list of players that should leave Chelsea either because they aren't even squad member material or because being squad members they actually take away opportunity from younger players I'd rather have. Iva, Mikel, Oscar, Pedro, Remy (love the guy, but he has to go). Also Marin (LOL FOREVER) and Salah are on my list ahead of Cuadrado among the players we should get rid of. Why do we keep those guys and loaning them over and over is beyond me. Just sell them already and get done with it. It felt so depressing to see Marin in the first training session with Conte. We really need to move from some players we have on loan.

Wait, Salah is still here?! Could've sworn we sold him last season..

his highlights reel looks piss, mainly him missing the target and winning fouls, fouls which you might not get in england. very uninspiring considering he played for a team that walked the league. move him on

Inb4 Marin becomes a regular sub under conte.

 

But yeah, kidding aside, I agree with the players you named (Not so much with Pedro, he seemed to get a bit better towards the end of the season). When we signed Marin I was really excited because I really wanted him to do well for us, and I predicted the signing back in FIFA 12 along with Schurle. A shame one left and the other was just poor.

 Cuadrado was great you can ask any Juventus fan as well and Juventus didn't have a option to buy him on permanent basis.

I did ask a Juventus fan. In fact, you can say I'm sort of in a 'constant communication' with one, seeing as I'm a Juve fan myself!

Yes, they didn't have an option in the loan deal, but had they thought he was 'great' surely they would have approached Chelsea to make the deal permanent. They didn't.

Juventus wouldn't pay 30m.

They wouldn't pay 30m for Cuadrado. They just paid more than that for Pjanic. In fact they probably wouldn't even pay 20m for Cuadrado and that has to do with how they view him based on his time there: A descent squad player. Good to have on the bench.

Pjanic is different to Cuadrado.How much they paid for pjanic has nothing to do with Cuadrado.

The standard double-talk method makes deciphering Conte's comments difficult. He might mean that he likes Cuadrado and wants him back at the club, or he might mean he wants to sell Cuadrado but knows what has to be said to maximise the price.

First thing first, I'm with you that Chelsea should see the back of Cuadrado when he has decent market value like for example right now.

However !

Conte's known fan of Cuadrado. In fact, whispers are that it was direct reason why Conte resigned from his post at Juve. Morata was bought 2 days after Conte resigned and the deal was struck already when Conte was still Juve manager. But he wanted someone else still and that one was Cuadrado. But Juve couldn't deliver. At least that's what I read.

I like the idea of Conte being mischievous tactic in transfer dealings but I think you should take what he says here at the face value and Cuadrado will indeed be Chelsea player come 1st of September.,

Chelsea are now open to the idea of selling Juan Cuadrado, because of his will to leave. (via @DiMarzio) #CFC #Juventus #Inter

#Juventus offered €25m [between the loan & buy-back] to #CFC for Cuadrado. Chelsea would like to get at least €30m for him (via @DiMarzio)

#Inter consider Cuadrado as the potential alternative to Candreva. Montella also likes & would love to get him at Milan (via @DiMarzio) #CFC

He can leave the way Moses has been playing we don't need Cuadrado.

Just wanted to say this. I'm finding hard to believe he can do better than what Moses did today, extremely hard.

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

Please sell him. When he got tackled by Shawcross (I think that was him or it was Charlie Adam ?) in that Stoke game and went to his shell scared I wouldn't have imagined then that we can get 30m€ for him.

We have too many AMs anyway. Turn Cuadrado, Pedro, Kenedy, Moses into 1 proper attacking midfielder and be scared.

Thanks BCS.

I think you may be right. If you are, and Juan is here on 1st September, then let's hope he is still here on 1st February because that would mean it had prooved a good decision.

I respect Juan being upfront about wanting to leave. He didn't let his agent play games or ask Juve to bail him out. That makes it easier for the club to quickly get a deal done and ship him out.
