Juan Cuadrado

[Unionjack 7,531]

Well it doesnt look like square is going anywhere with the shops looking to cash in by us putting another number on his back.

Which probably means Pedro or any other RAM will be coming which is sad.

I know players dont always settle in at the same pace both team wise and their normal lives and who knows how he would do if he got more playing time. But IMHO at his best he is a mirror copy of Willian. This just makes him a good prospect.

The thing is we have so many players that we are taking gambles on and hoping they will come good.

Cuadrado, will he offer anything different to what we already have even IF he comes right.

Oscar, hoping he wont go into hibernation once the new year approaches and he manages to make more offensive contributions as thats what he is paid for.

Willian, similar to Willian but hopefullyawake at the start of the season. (I would be happy if we could use them both as one player. Oscar till end of Dec and Willian after it.)

Cahill,shakey,lost and nervous for alot of the season and looked physically a shadow of his usual self. Looked very similar to Schurrle alot of the time.

Bane, defensively absent and goes roaming up field alot and as hes not the fastest of players he left Cahill even more nervous.

Not a common thought I know but I like each of them and they all offer a little something to the team and I would happily keep most of them for depth. But I would also jump at the chance if we had the opportunity to upgrade any or all of them.

FIFA 16 cover+got new number. 11. Bold one. Not leaving.

[Henrique 9,133]

Would have been perfect for Pedro

The problem is: Pedro wont leave Barcelona.

[Jase 43,479]

Chelsea willing to sell Juan Cuadrado but only if the price is right

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Just not good enough, constantly play the safe option or give the ball away when attempting to dribble. His confidence is also extremely low he is afraid to shot even when potentially facing a 1 on 1.

Unless something changes he is gonna be our Colombian Zhukov.

[laeth 527]

He is terrible. Have to admit.

[LAM09 6,769]

Did nothing and was the only one to miss a PK.

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

He must feel so bad atm...poor guy.

How do you so spectacularly forget to play football?

[termninja 5,290]

On the scale of 0 to 100 his confidence is -100.

Good thing is that Jose will know his mentality and personality and if he isn't mentally prepared to handle pressure we will sell him.

Honestly he seems rather unintelligent to me in footballing sense and when the level is raised he struggles to match it. I've felt a similar thing with Salah and it's evident both have skills but question if mentality is yet to be solved.

[iseah100 5,612]

Not good enough. What a shame.

[Jase 43,479]

So so bad.

To think we actually got him to replace Schurrle...

Hindsight is wonderful though, best player at WC and all that, also off the back of him scoring something like 15 goals for Fiorentina the season before. One thing you can't check in a medical test is mental strength because we do not employ any zen master yet.

Honestly this guys make 35m for Douglas Costa looks like a bargain(who is actually pretty good so far for Bayern). Never judge a book by its cover

He may have scored all those goals for Fiorentina but it wasn't like he was tearing Serie A apart and inspiring Fiorentina in the manner Hazard does for us.

[Oscar 441]

Juve is going to keep dropping their price with every game cuadrado plays like this.

[iseah100 5,612]

So so so so bad

[Gappy 130]

Imagine if one of our youth give a chance like him and play exact the same as he does

That kid gonna get loan out to visstel or somewhere else

Or that kid will never get a chance to plat at all from the first time .....

35+ m price tag that make him on the squad

[jasonlol 154]

0 confidence ; looks awful. Always gives the ball away, makes the wrong decision often.

[Parky 739]

So cringeworthy frustrating to watch him fail so hard. I was literally laughing out loud at him today. Haven't done that since the Torres days.
