Juan Cuadrado

[cadenza666 221]

Chelsea continues to work on Cuadrado, but if Schurrle isn't sold deal won't be done in January, but perhaps in summer (via @DiMarzio) #CFC

Good of the club to be smart about this. If Schurrle isn't moving on then we use him and wait until summer.

I think this transfer is more about Schurrle and Salah wanting to leave rather than us wanting to replace them in January.

Astounding that there were likely dozens of journalists who live for transfer news at the Bridge today and not a single one asked about Schürrle leaving.

If this deal does happen, it'll happen just before deadline day.

Talk about Football Manager mentality - as if 5M is small change.

[Special Juan 27,104]

Micah Richards spoke with SKY and said he has spoke with Cuadrado about life in England. Also said he is very impressive and is a very dangerous player.

desperate times, desperate measures. for a club of CFC's stature, a sum of 5mil is not worth to jeapordise our PL?CL campaigns.

SKY: @acffiorentina agree to sell Juan Cuadrado to @ChelseaFC if £26.2m buy-out clause is met.

Looks Like today is deadline day after all

This is on now it seems.

So that's nothing new then. We've known we'd have to pay his release clause for weeks now.

Agree

Also if you give in to Florintina demands then other teams will bully us in negotiation.

With the exception of the Willian deal we have payed very reasonably.

Latest rumor has United back in for him offering a bunch of money + Januzaj on loan.

Is 'activating' the release clause the same as paying the clause amount or does it further attract additional taxes on top? I know that paying the release clause for someone registered in Spain will also obligate you to an additional 40% tax ... what's the case in Italy?

I think the Spanish reason for tax is because the player deposits the cash himself isnt it?

If they reckon they wont sell for anything lower than the release clause, unlikely

Yer something along those lines ... I remember reading all this around the time we got Costa
