He is not always bad and I don't mind him as a squad player, but Costa is clearly superior. Faster, a better dribbler, more technically gifted, and a better crosser. He (Costa) should be our starter.

Agreed on this, but on current form costa should be a starter in place of mandzu , not cuads

Just make him RB nothing more....put Berna on his palce, Costa on the other side..
EXACTLY! Offense >>> Defense strategy. Should be given a try just like having Berna and Costa in starting 11. Let's see over a decent amount of time what 80 million (if Costa stays) gets us. Cuads will do anything Max asks him to do to help team. How many players would do that without whining about it?

Of course Costa will stay.It's our obligation not an option to buy.We have to pay something about 40 millions next summer.

I wont jump to conclusions regarding Juan but sooner rather than later when most probably he will again decide a game with a crucial goal/assist be sure i will quote each and everyone of you that repeteadly ask for him to be benched/dropped/sold. The simple fact some of you blaming everything that doesnt work out on him just comes to show how unaware and misinformed you are regarding this sport in general. (No offence)

Could care less about dribbling if it means it ends up in a failed cross graveyard or horrible decision in the final third.

We need to fix our crossing for once. That would be a baby step in the right direction.

He's not faster.

He's not a better dribbler.

Thanks for your input.

That Nedved96 guy :lol:
Costa is clearly a better dribbler than Cuadrado. You'd have to be blind to deny it.

Here Costa dribbles between 3-4 Barcelona players around the edge of their penalty box, then chips the ball over their defence and gives Bentancur a goalscoring opportunity.

Can you give me an example of Cuadrado doing something like this against elite opposition?

I think that Cuadrado's dribbling in general is a bit overrated. He's fast (not as fast as Costa), but on the ball he's really not that great.

Costa has better close control than Cuadrado, he is faster, and a better passer too.

When I am talking about speed, I'm talking about the first 2-3 steps. Costa has an uncanny ability to get away from his man rapidly which Cuadrado cannot match.

Although his top speed isn't too bad either

I think Costa is more explosive off the mark but they're both great wingers and I'm glad we have them. Yes they're not the best decision makers on the final pass but they're very useful to have in the team.

Use him as a RB or bench him

Both berna and costa offer more brains and solutions than him as a winger.

Guys, cuadrado is waaay too wasteful and predictable, and in a team like juve, which is deprived of playmakers and builders, we NEED brains and finishers. Cuadrado is inneficient and unreliable on this.

Please allegri, use him as a workore righback, or bench him.

Do not torture us with more of this man. Im fuking tired
