Juan Cuadrado

[Reddish-Blue 2,226]

Hope we sign him, would be a nice upgrade on Schurrle & Salah

Why dont we just sign Lucas Ocampos instead, left footed and better prospect imo

So the plan is to sell Schurrle and Salah, buy this geezer and promote Boga?

Could someone remember me when was the last time we bought a player from serie a?

There's more chance of Arsenal winning the Premier League than promoting Boga...

Crespo or mutu possibly?

And Shevchenko just remembered. Damn, that's a long time.

So, we are playing hardball with Wolfsburg over Schurrle and this cat and mouse game with Fiorentina for Cuadrado?

I know there's the FFP rules but couldn't we just fork out a few million ourselves rather than wanting to use the sale of Schurrle to cover everything of Cuadrado's purchase?

We really don't know exactly where either deal is at, it's all speculation. I mean we could of tied up the deal with Cuadrado already and could be the price/terms holding up the deal with Wolfsburg.

It's all speculation (when has it never been?) but when you have so many media outlets reporting the same thing, then the current situation probably has some truth to it.

Best to take it all with a pinch of salt, it's like dipping into a lucky bag. Someone will be right in the long run, I mean there is that many stories about someone is sure to be nigh on right and gain that big ego boost.

Best to just wait and be patient.

We did take Queresma from Inter on loan 08-09.

Keep hoping to wake up and see SOME sort of movement in the transfer window.

Seems like we're taking the penny pinching Arsenal approach here. Are we really THAT close to FFP infringement that we 100% must sell in order to buy? Do we not have ANY cash to straight up buy players anymore?

Say if we fork out 28M on Cuadrado straight up and the deal for Andre falls through there is a problem. I see it like this....We are trying to fit both deals into hand and glove, we secure one as we secure the other. All 'I's' dotted and 'T's' crossed in both deals and all parties are happy.

At the same time, does it really matter whether we get the player in on January 31 instead of 27? A few million over a few days matters more.

Yeah. I guess I've just been spoiled by the work we did in the summer. Want player, get player quickly. Closer it gets to the deadline though, the more I'm starting to get anxious that nothing will happen.

Well the sooner player(s) are brought in the sooner they're in contention to play. Was hoping we may have signed Cuadrado in time to get 3-4 training sessions in and maybe be on the bench for City.
