Hope not.

I'm hearing Cuadrado is wearing 74,anyone?

Oh god no, not one of those silly squad numbers.

if Jose allows him to play his natural game he will be a real asset. no more will we bemoan Brana's inability to put a decent ball into the box, we'll have a tricky, fast right winger who can whip a beautifully curving ball into the box from the right - hopefully right on to Diego Costa's bonce.

 

love it.

Yep, the theory is 11 is the wanted number by kids growing up in Columbia, kind of like our number 9 i guess and number 10 in other countries. 4 is his international number 4+7=11. Thats the theory anyway

Could be an important signing come May. Immediately upgrades a weak position in the team IF he plays to his potential.

Could be as big as Matic replacing Mikel was last season if all goes well. Can lightening strike twice in consecutive Januaries??

We're in for an absolute treat with this guy. Bags of skill, energy to burn and searing pace. Typical Jose signing, and what a style of play he is building. We have so many quick, workman-like forwards.

Defenders had better have a rest now!

All very well doing it in Italy, but how about on a cold and wet winter's night in Stoke?

Love it lol!!!!

This deal happening depends on Schurlle being sold, it sounds as though we are asking for money than we need. We have poor strength in depth, which was evident against City, if this deal fails to go through it would be a big error.

Not sure that is the case. Think is more down to a hold up around Salah going to other way that this one has been delayed.

 

Think Schurrle moving on is down to him pushing for a move, and as such Wolfsburg need to pay what we deem a fair price. Do not think it will break us if we buy without selling Schurrle.

Sounds like the hold up was who was to pay the 5% "solidarity clause" due to the team where Cuadrado developed, we've now agreed to do this so you would think it'll get done early in the day now.

I was also thinking that this transfer depended on the Shürrle one going throught. We certainly won't keep both of them, will we?

It's a bit of a stand off I think. We're holding out for more money and wolfsburg are maybe hoping we panic and drop the price. If that's the case someone has to blink or we'll be both not be happy and it's a waste of everyone's time.

How old is Cuadrado? Just get the number you're assigned, diva (assuming of course this story is true...!)

He's 27 in May

To be honest these guys from strongly religious countries usually hold the number in great value. I'd give it to them. I couldn't care less about the number but most of them do care so let them have their way.

I don't think he is a diva but he should do something about that silly hair [emoji1]

Everyone is reporting its done and the only hold up is Salah. Seems true with him tweeting about being at the Bridge.

 

Hope everything goes through okay.

Its all about Shurrle, once he's confirmed at Wolfsburg we can confirm Cuadrado

Andre has now agreed at wolfsburg and is officially their player!

Can't see anything official on either clubs website.

Good luck Andre...

 

I wonder if Jim White's head has exploded, over on Sky deadline day...

His name is now on the official Bundesliga transfer list and been confirmed he's agreed personal terms. Likely to break in the next hour at the very most.

Good luck Andre, gutted it hasn't worked out for him here. I was convinced after the World Cup he'd come back better but he didn't unfortunately.

If we are able to switch Andre for Cuadrado with almost no cost I say it is very smart business

I'm reading the Cuadrado deal is stalling because salah's London medical has to have florentina people present
