Sad to see Schürrle leaving if he does, think he's a fantastic player and a great person.

 

But, people are going to be surprised if we sign Cuadrado, since everyone seems to believe he's a a bench player at best I'll be the one to say he can be a starter for this team.

I've said the same thing.  He's Willian with attacking flair and much better in the final third.  I do think having Cuardrado and Schurrle is the best fit for us though.

I think Cuadrado would be a really good signing, it will be nice to finally have a right winger who is actually a right winger. I like Andre but I just always got the impression with him that he would be playing much better if he was on the left side, which was/is obviously never going to happen with us as long as Eden is here.

 

Willian is decent but he just doesnt offer enough goals and assists to justify being first choice or what Cuadrado can hopefully offer.

1 week left to sign him let's see. Still no real links as of now..

Would have liked to have him available for city, as toure and bony may well be back for our game yet.

Crazy that they might  not get out of thre group

I think this will be the only major deadline day deal.

We should sign him faster, we're entering into the hardest period of the season.

All that means is he won't play on the weekend, I don't think the season will be decided in that short period of time...

It does seem any business we do is going to the wire

Makes a change from last summer ;)

Fiorentina agree to sell Juan Cuadrado to Chelsea if £26.2m buy-out clause is met. Fee is non-negotiable. No intention for Salah. (Sky) #CFC

Micah Richards on Cuadrado:

 

"I have been training with him every day and he’s got everything; technique, speed, power, pace. All his attributes would be suited to the Premier League so I can see exactly why he is being linked with a move there."

Im guessing 70/30 he doesn't play this weekend and 50/50 that he is at least on the bench this weekend.

Pretty sure you have to agree to sell if a buyout clause is met...

He looks like the infamous Kalouda. Good or bad? Have no idea..

Absolutely no way he chooses Man Utd over us and that's why going for players with release clauses plays right into our hands. We can't be outbid, and they'd have to stupidly overpay in wages to attract such players. If they do, the big risk is that the player doesn't perform and can't be moved-on.

Micah Richards said that? That's me sold then.

Don't tell me this forum used to say the word Kalouda also?

 

Back in those dire days.

Kalouda is a player.

According to who?

Where would they even play him, right wing back?

Can't see that myself they need central defenders above anything else.

Oh I'm sure you could be had for much less Sir.

Kalouda is a player.

 

Cuadrado actually looks like Kalouda. Not only being black, but the dreads remind me of a certain Florent. 

I think I got too carried away.

 

Will Schurrle and Salah even manage to get off in time? That's going to be difficult to get an agreement especially with Schurrle, we will want to make money on him since we can, as for Salah I'm not even sure we will get 13 million back.
