Cuadrado close to signing for Juve, apparently, but we are asking for €34m!

I would be very happy just to see him gone, wouldn't mind a small loss even. We might still make a profit when you combine it with a transfer of Salah.

That's £26-27m? Be amazed if we make our money back.

There is surely a missing decimal point there Blueblur

Might need a change of title on this thread....

 

The club's shop has his squad number down as 11 for the new season. 

 

Take it over from the Big Man.... Bold. 

 

Can't make him play any worse I suppose. 

sh*t, he must be staying then.

He's rumoured to be on a lot of promotional stuff coming up too.

That's probably just to get more money out of the colombian market.

Took the number 11 for next season,hopefully after a full season under his belt we will change his opinion about him.Currently i can't really say he was a flop since he hardly played.

You have to say that if he has the number 11 shirt he's not only in Jose's plans, but could well be up for a starting birth on the right wing ?

While I would like to seem him given a fair chance next season, I don't think the kit numbers are in any way an indicator for team selection. If that was the case, we would start with Begovic in goal and Falcao up front.

Also throw in Luis and Zouma over Dave and Terry.

He has looked totally out of his depth on every occasion so far, but I felt the same way about Ramires when he joined, and that definitely worked out for the best in the end.

 

I suppose it takes time to adapt to a new team, new country, new culture, new style of play. Having seen glimpes of what he can do in his national side and in Serie A, there's definitely talent there. The coaching staff obviously feel there's enough there to back him this summer - so fingers crossed we see the best of Cuadrado next season.

Ramires always had glimpses that he could do more even when he was sh*te at the beginning. Haven't seen anything from CUadrado yet.

Either that or Jose is saying he is half the player of our current right winger that wears #22.

I know he didn't get much of a chance last season but he looked so underwhelming and out of his depth when he did play...

 

He had that breakthrough season at Fiorentina in 2014 and a good World Cup but if you take a look at his stats in his career they are very underwhelming 

 

2012 - 33 games, 3 goals and 2 assists

2013 - 42 games, 5 goals, 6 assists

2015 while playing in Italy - 17 games, 4 goals, 4 assists

 

I don't like to be negative but if Hazard picks up any sort of long term injury next season then we are simply f**ked especially when you take into account Costa's injury concerns and Fabregas loss of form in the 2nd half of the season

 

I would not be comfortable or confident in having to rely on Cuadrado to fill in for Hazard

Shiver. Let's not even entertain the thought of something like that happening, it may keep us up at night

He's a top lad and I can't wait to see him wrecking it for us, which he definitely will

if he is staying, which it seems like he is, then we need to be patient and give him a chance. if it comes up to january with a pre-season included and he still hasn't done much, then it's likely not going to work out, but for now we need to give him until january at the least. 

Next season would be great for him and for Jose to test him. I do believe in him, his last game against Sunderland was perfect, I hope he will bring this kind of performance to all games.

Marko Marin with more pace. Which should make him decent at this level. He'll never be the answer at RW though

Marin did score that cracking open goal header against QPR though.

I don't even think Marin is decent any more.

Yea not anymore, I read he's signing for my hometown team. From Chelsea to Kansas City in 3 years, what a fall
