Juan Cuadrado

[MrBlueGuy 1,552]

Another plus about this guy is that he is hardly ever injured too. Check his record, he has been out for only 2 weeks out of like 3 years. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/juan-cuadrado/verletzungen/spieler/91970

What's the latest with this?

[Daniel1980 1,425]

Still not convinced by him. 26million pounds is a lot of sum. And if we are replacing Schurrle/Willian in RW we need a player who have decent output i.e goals and assists or who can be decisive in final third. But this guys output is just marginally better than Schurrle and WIllian.

So let's see. I'm not having any high hopes on him...

He has a much better output than Willian.

Willian: 71 matches, 7 goals scored: a goal every 10th match

Cuadrado at Fiorentina: 105 matches, 25 goals: a goal every 4th match (pretty much the same output Hazard has for us from open play). His assists stats are much better than Willian's too.

We are negotiating with Fiorentina.

If we bring in Cuadrado, then we'll have 4 established pen takers in Costa, Haz, Drogs and him. Vital for the the cup games ahead.

Fabregas and Oscar would not be bad 5th and 6th options either.

He normally doesn't take penalties(he took only 1 penalty ever for Fiorentina). And Costa isn't an established penalty taker for us. I don't know where people got the idea Costa will take penalties for sure. When Hazard didn't play, Fabregas took the penalty for us.

Took them pretty consistently for Atletico I think?

He just scored one yesterday?

Also our order is this I think:

1st Hazard, 2nd Fabregas, 2nd Drogba(if he is on the pitch), 3rd Costa, 4th Oscar. Oscar and Costa can also probably swap around but we will never find out.

The one he took yesterday was the only one he took.

Agree on our order.

Then he has 100% record. Established pk taker then

He missed a good share of them at Atletico. I wouldn't choose him as a second or even third choice penalty taker and it seems Jose doesn't either.

Heard Cuadrad takes them for Fiorentina (and did take one recently) and Costa scored a lot of goals from penalties for Atleti. Prettr sure he'll take one in a shootout situation.

Cuadrado normally doesn't take penalties for Fiorentina and yesterday's penalty was the only one he scored for them at least in official competitions. Costa failed to score quite a few penalties at Atletico. He might take one in a shootout situation, but I don't think he'll be a nailed on choice in a non-shootout situation. And I'm pretty sure either Hazard or Fabregas (or Drogba if he's playing) will take the decisive(4th or 5th) penalty in a shootout situation, not Costa.

Saying goodbye to the fans by scoring a penalty goal just before a transfer?

Fair enough. But I'd trust Costa to blast in the first pen in a shootout.

Or saying "I'm here to stay and going to take penalties from now on"

Maybe.
