Have to quote myself on this, after weeks of stalled negotiations, things have started moving quickly to the point he might be available for the Purple Rats game

Cuadrado is a bit of an overkill at this point,, we need a proper midfielder

So 40 mil for Zaza and Pererya, and another 20 mil coming in for Coman, and our two top names are Brozovic and Matuidi?

There are no world class midfielders available for 60 million?


Can't wait for Sturaro to play every game in January when Asa and Lemina are in Africa and Khedira is out injured with a thigh strain....

What would you guys think if the following happens from here:

OUT: Zaza, Pereyra, Hernanes
IN: Matuidi, Cuadrado (loan)

FYI guys, getting Cuadrado effectively negates getting Gabigol as Cuadrado is non-EU and I think we cannot get 2. This is the reason why Milan pulled out of the race as well as they filled their non-EU quota.

Cuadrado would seem surplus to requirements but the rumor is the loan would cost 3m. Option to buy figure is the issue.

However, it would seem that Cuadrado really WANTS the move. He was clearly happy in Turin.

I wonder if we could mould Cuadrado into something more than a wing back. In the 352, he would be at best 2nd choice if not 3rd choice behind Alves and Lichsteiner. In a back 4, he still wouldn't be close to being a starter. Perhaps for Dybala or Pjaca.

If Cuadrado's defensive side of his game improved, you think he could even play in a midfield 3? He would need to adapt if he came here to get playing time clearly.

We would be SOOOO stacked on wing backs. Alves, Lichsteiner, and Cuadrado on the right.......Evra, Sandro, and Asamoah on the left.

The GOOD thing about having Cuadrado is that with Pjaca we would have some speedy options as Higuain, Dybala and Mandzukic are not exactly express trains for counters.

Imagine a 442 with Cuadrado:

---------------------Buffon---------------------

Alves-------Bonucci------Chiellini-------Evra

Cuadrado---Marchisio----Pjanic----Asa/Sandro

---------------Dybala----Higuain--------------

Just a thought.
