Juan Cuadrado

[Henrique 9,133]

Yeah, I'm sure that pissing off EA is the biggest concern when it comes to a potential £30M transfer.

EA is a Chelsea official partner. Cuadrado is going nowhere. 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.

Not as ridiculous as it seems. If EA is using Cuadrado with Chelsea kit, instead of Colombia one, its because they know Cuadrado won't be sold.

I think you've got a point

Yeah, like they knew Spurs wouldn't sell Bale two years ago when they had him on the cover with a Spurs kit?

These things matter very little when it comes to the bigger picture. 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.

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 Bale

Above me post made same point disregard..

EA is not a Spurs partner. There is a huge difference there.

I knew you'd say that lol.

Just admit it, your point was already proven wrong.

Big difference. 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.

Lets wait the end of the window...

[cfcs most wanted 657]

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

Cuadrado is staying...

/the topic.

Hope its not the final version. Not good for FIFA a cover with last season's kit.

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?

Or they could Just change the Kit! I know it sounds insane :confused:

Video-game covers are more important than you think.
