    Cuadrado? Great player. Probably fit in at right back for you lot, unless you're planning on selling Robben?

    I don`t know anything about him. In TZ and Bild they say he is an offensive midfielder. Couldn`t see the sense in signing another one of that kind. But if he can play RB it would be a different story. Have you seen him playing as full back?

    He's primarily a winger, but he can pretty much player anywhere on the right side of the pitch.

    Guess some people haven't been watching the world cup. He's a top player but moving to Bayern to be a sub would be pretty stupid. See Shaqiri.

    Shaqiri didn't move to be a sub, he moved to take over from the likes of Schweinsteiger (or Kroos if he leaves).

    It has indeed. He's only been there 21 months and has played 43 out 76 Bundesliga games, many in the starting eleven. I'd called that a bloody good start considering he was bought as a future prospect.

    How many of those were off the bench I wonder. Left out of 33 altogether eh.

    Two thirds of the 33 he was injured. You won't get the point for some reason, he wasn't bought to go straight into the first team he was bought for the future, nobody expected he would have played as much as he has yet.
    Maybe next season will be his breakthrough year, Ribery will miss the start of the season so he'll get playing time, the last two years he had better players ahead of him.

    I understand your interest given that several clubs are after him but current information in Germany is "No deal".

    a. Some people can`t watch every single WC game because they have a job and family.
    b. Would he be about as silly as Can is? Giving up a starting place at Leverkusen to warm the bench in Liverpool? One for the future isn`t he?

    You see zippy,because Bayern is Bayern, they may only sign players for many many mio and they have to be starters right away. In no way can they have played for another club beforehand though. That would clearly mean he is only being signed to weaken the opposition.

    Back on topic Cuadrado's agent has already been in Munich for talks so the move is a definate possibility.

    I've never seen him play tbh. However if Pep wants him I assume he knows best.
