Juan Cuadrado

What makes them so dissimilar then (Willian & Cuadrado)?

Because they are different people, you facist.

Okay then...

What makes them so dissimilar then (Willian & Cuadrado)?

The directness? One has end product and the other doesnt.

Willian is rarely dangerous in the box, while Cuadrado is good at causing problems there.

They share qualities going back, but moving forward I find them very different.

What makes them so dissimilar then (Willian & Cuadrado)?

Cuadrado likes to dribble past his marker and shoots more often unlike Willian who isn't so direct and prefers a safe pass to retain possession.

[Supermonkey92 1,428]

Willian and cuadrado will both play together in the CL. They can actually compliment each other in the big games.

[Reddish-Blue 2,495]

What makes them so dissimilar then (Willian & Cuadrado)?

Cuadrado's direct style of play is the major difference

Willian lacks the cutting edge offensively whenever I see him shoot, it doesn't look natural, it looks forced

Cuadrado is the best option we could have gotten in this window.for me his very good player .cuarado is not like willian .his style is

direct not like willian wait for support from his mates .cuadrado better than willian in driblling .his more Positive in attaque .I'm sure

He will succeed

according to the rumors/reports, is there a chance we sign both douglas costa and cuadrado or are we looking to sign one or the other? i guess if both salah and schurrle leave it would make sense to get both.

that would be quite an upgrade actually: cuadrado for an underperforming schurrle (although i like him, i think he may want to leave and there are reportedly offers for him) and douglas costa for a very poor player (imo, don't get your panties in a twist) in salah...

[The Chels 2,502]

If him signing means Ivanovic stops acting as a winger or is replaced at RB by Azpi (wishful thinking) then I guess it wouldn't be too bad.

[Nero 1,870]

schürrle and salah sell. cuadrado and costa sign.

mourinho on fire !

That cover is anything but relaxing , at least play the original.

We will make big mistake selling salah. I think he will score 30 goals season in serie a. He is the next messi for gods sake. Now he is messi without the talent but if you look closer you can see his talent to be like messi its just hidden. look close guys and his is also faster. Big mistake chelsea cuardrado is not even half the player salah will be.Peace out.

I really haven't seen enough of him to offer a sound opinion but there were times when I tuned in to a Fiorentina match to watch Jovetic and I always ended up paying more attention to Cuadrado.

I have reservations about spending that amount of money on a player who seems to be a marginal improvement on our options for right wing but the thing is, if City are able to retain the premiership, it'll be the 6th season we haven't won the league and the gap between ourselves and them, in terms of commercial revenue, brand appeal etc will widen further. So the people who are saying that we should wait until the summer for someone like Reus need to consider what the possibility of City retaining the title and winning it for the 3rd time in 4 years will mean for us in terms of being able to compete for the best players and also retaining our best players, i.e Hazard. I think the board should do all they can to put the team in the best possible position to win the league and having Cuadrado in place of Salah will strengthen the squad considerably.

26M seems like a lot to spend on him but the implications of not winning the league, I feel, would be more costly.

And of course winning the league this season is more important than ever. The new seeding system, starting next season, means that it will be virtually impossible for us to be one of the top seeds in the Champions League unless we are champions of England, or of Europe. Being in pot two isn't the end of the world but it would make life noticeably tougher.

Still trying to figure out why people are comparing Willian to cuadrado? They will be in the squad. It's cuadrado vs. salah or schurrle we need to look at.

And firstly if salah and schurrle both want to be in sides where they play more then this is less about necessity and more about need. Point is we don't know.

I for one have no problem with fee or Juan's integration into the team because from a distance he looks like the player who can slot seamlessly into our squad. We wouldn't be trying to force him to adapt like debruyne or mata. Also, you can't find players of his make for less than the amount is being bandied about. Willian, who everyone acknowledges, does loads of good things for the team but lacks in the final 3rd went for 30m and we weren't the only team looking at him. Juan at 26m is not a bad fee at all for a player just touching his prime years
