It's an option to buy rather than a clause. He only leaves if we say so.
If we had made this transfer RedCafe would currently be in meltdown. 
Not sure if it was even that. He fits in with Chelsea's recent policy, buy up good talent cheap, loan them out and then cash in.
Considering how Cuadrado has struggled to settle so far I would suggest that the slow pace can suit fast attacking players there.
Option to buy usually means that a team who the player is loaned too decides. In this case Fiorentina.
Maybe it's different with Salah.
You're right. If Chelsea has the option to say no then it's a meaningless clause.
He's got tremendous pace.
Surely it's not up to you? Otherwise it would be a worthless clause.
Anyway, from what I read, Fiorentina have the option to extend this loan for another year for 1M. The buying option is in 2016.
Spurs should try and sign him.
Yes, Salah scoring important goals against Spurs and Juventus in vital cup games must mean the Serie A is poor...
Serie A is poor. Has been for a long while.
Most English sides, Spurs included, don't take the Europa League seriously. The result against Juve was a surprise because they're a top quality team, but they're a Serie A side so I don't see how it contradicts my point.
Egyptian Messi had another good game against Roma last night.
I wonder if he's the next Chelsea reject that will shine. Seems to be doing well.
He should stay at Fiorentina for his own good.
Playing as a second striker with freedom to be an all round threat then he becomes an absolute machine. God knows how chelsea let him go without giving him meaningful game time. Madness I'd say.
It happens. And it has happened a few times for Chelsea these last few years.
shite league as well, i wouldn't read to much into it. When he's burning away from players in the Italian league, safe to say he was matched the majority of times here in the Prem. We're a fit bunch over here and didn't suit his game.
Who would he have displaced in our team?
He's burnt prem teams before over and over again he earned his move to chelsea. He has recently given spurs a do over(something he did while at basle too, roasting walker). He was extremely impressive vs chelsea too while at basle. Juve is one of the fittest, most physical teams in the world, gave them a roasting too. I'd say its more a matter of him not getting a solid chance at chelsea than him being poor/average. We've seen with chelsea that they sign players, barely play them and then move them over. Serie A isn't much worse than the prem anyways.
Depends on the set up, reckon he'd be wonderful if chelsea used a diamond, then he'd play as the SS, as hazard plays at the tip of the diamond.
-------Diego Costa---------Salah-----------------
----------------------Hazard----------------
Sort out the rest of the team and many teams will be struggling to cope with Chelsea. In the current set up he could have played on the RW but I don't think that'd get the best out of him as the freedom to be an all round nuisance transforms him really, defenders haven't a clue on how to pick him up. Chelsea gets no production from the RW spot and haven't done so the whole season. I'd say its one of the main reasons why your team has looked so stale in attacking terms at times. He carries a goal threat only inferior to Costa in the chelsea team, surely that'd be an asset to the side?
There would be no width at all if we played like you just suggested. It's something we already struggle with at times.
As you say, in an attacking sense we get almost zero production from our right side. Willian has been very important to how José wants to play but does nothing offensively.
I think Cuadrado will become a much more important player for us next season straight away. He'll hopefully offer what we need. It's pretty clear that he needs lots of games to get up to speed with both his teammates and the league itself. When every match is basically a final for us for the remainder of the season José obviously doesn't feel like it's a good idea to have a brand new player in there struggling.
Considering Kevin de Bruyne is very productive from the right wing at Wolfsburg (he starts centrally but gives a lot of assists from the right), would you say letting him go was the bigger mistake than Salah's departure to Fiorentina?
Those 3 players are all very effective in wide areas. Hazards become one of the finest players in the league playing outwide, Salah has played loads outwide and Costa loves to drift into wide areas. For real width(I.e when teams sit compact) you guys have 2 of the very finest offensive fullbacks in world football(Cuadrado and Luis)
------Costa------Salah-------
------------Hazard------------
---------Midfield 3----------
Luis----CB-------CB-----Cuadrado
-------------GK----------------
All offensive threats needed will be covered especially in transition while the link up in terms of forward play will go up a level.
Personally I don't think its going to work out all that well for Cuadrado even next season in the current set up even if played as a RW. I've always felt he works better and is a bigger all round threat when he's on the left drifting in thus creating space for the shot or linking up with the fullback. On the right he's often limited and is only useful when there's a lot of space to work in. He's a line hugger on the right, and even when drifting in centrally isn't all that effective cause he's right footed. In essence I don't think that he'll be that much of an upgrade if used there next season.
For sure. Easily the player I regret us selling the most. I've said here a number of times that I'd rather have him as our #10 right now than Oscar.
I think Oscar is our next big sale in the summer. Unless he plays out of his skin for the last 10 games.
I hope you're wrong about Cuadrado. I think if he settles completely and actually get a run of games he can be deadly in our current setup. Pace and trickery on both wings with he and Hazard stretching defenses and with Costa making his usual brilliant runs. Couldn't see anyone in the PL dealing with us if Cuadrado plays like he did at the World Cup and with Hazard constantly improving.
We just need one or two surgical transfers.
My ideal team for next season would be:
----------Costa----------
Hazard--------------Cuadrado/Willian
----------Pogba----------
----Fabregas------Matić----
Azpi/Luis--Terry--Varane--Ivanovic
-----------Courtois-----------
Don't think Salah is a player we'll miss at all. He'll be a very good player in a lesser league, though.
Don't think De Bruyne would be all that effective if his starting position was as a right wing. He drifts in there in order to play those killer balls. Its a whole different dimension to get the ball there and being expected to make something happen.
Pogba as a 10? Why?
I was thinking more of a box-to-box in a 4-3-3.
