Cuadrado to rival Torres?

Featured Replies

Personally think the guys a poor footballer. When you can't control a football or handle the speed of the game it's never going to end well.

Hopefully we can sell in January when he inevitably falls over the ball for the umpteenth time,

To be honest he was only given 6 months first time round. He came in not knowing the language or the team. He should in theory be better this time for having some time in the squad.

I just hope the grass on the pitch is cut short......cos if it ain't .........then our man codraado is likely to trip over a blade of grass every time he runs.........basically when he's not falling over, he doesn't look too bad........however mio, a complete waste of money, get shot of him.

How funny would that be if he turns out to have been the missing peice of the puzzle

 

I'm gonna call it, he won't.. he could have his moment but as far as I'm concerned, he's in the same league as the likes of swp/pennant etc..

I agree he played really well for Juventus, BUT when he played for us he was pants, there's no getting away from that.

You can say what you like about what league is stronger etc etc but the Serie A is definitely played at a slower pace that the Prem.

It does worry me we're keeping him around because as I say I just don't think he's suited to the league but I'm willing to give him a shot under a manager who clearly rates him and though he could get the best out of him.

If not, we sell him on and move on to the next one.

Giaccherini, Aquilani all look good in the Italian league but couldn't cut it here. Ideally we sell him to Juve now his stock is still high out there, but if Conte wants him here so be it.

Still think he could be a good player for us, but we signed Pedro, so with Willian, hazard, Kenedy, traore, and Oscar, all able to play wide, I think we are better cashing in on him this summer while we can still recuperate decent money.

Maybe conte will convert him into an attacking right back, can't be any worse defensively than ivanovic these days!

Pedro and Oscar are probably on their way out. 

 

Plus if we play 3-5-2, we don't have anyone really who will play as a wingback except Cuadrado

Got to give him another chance i suppose. Utterly pathetic first time around though so no hopes but maybe Conte can get something out of him.
Just keep him off corners.

FC? just?

Thoughts?

He's in my top five worst ever players I've seen play for Chelsea and I don't want him anywhere near the club again.

If Conte does bring him back we've clearly hired the wrong man to lead the club.

I agree he's one of the worst.

I can't agree on the latter though, even the best managers make mistakes.

I would rather we use either Willian or Azpilicueta as wingbacks, if we are playing 3-5-2. That would give us a better defensive or attacking option when needed. 3-5-2 wouldn't be a bad idea though, besides Azpilicueta we lack good options on left/right back. With wingbacks we could use Willian and Kennedy.

 

This is what I would do:

 

Sell: Oscar, Cuadrado, Ivanovic, Baba, Pedro

 

Buy: Manolas, Koulibaly, Jonas Hector

 

------------------------Courtois

 

-------Koulibaly--Manolas--Zouma/Terry/Cahill--------

 

Willian/Azp----Matic/Rlc--Kante--Fabregas-------J.Hector/Kennedy

 

--------------------Costa/Batshuayi--Hazard--------------

a lot of juve fans are dissapointed he's going back to london, saying that he's a "game changer" with amazing pace and trickery

 

i really don't know about that, didn't watch any juve game last season, so my impression of juan is still that he's literally a walking blooper reel that awkwardly falls to the ground everytime an opponent touches him even the slightest, but who knows maybe he's a changed man

Jose didn't give him enough game time, sure he didn't look good for us, but he was given 5-10 minute cameos, under pressure to perform and trying to integrate in to a new team, I don't think we should have given up and loaned him out in the first place.

 go on then - top 5.... I don't know if he would be in mine 

 

The issue is that when I was 10 for example all our players where awsome, even though they really wern't. For example he is in no way a worse player then Andy Mires or Frank Sinclare who we all adored but lets be honest neithere where very good 

I think Conte will find out he's not suitable and we'll sell in January or just keep him on rotation at the expense of performance. In the summer he'll be 29 and we'll probably take a hit on the transfer fee, something Juve will love no doubt.
