This ,it will be very tough to get more than they paid for
Most of Chelsea greatest sells was for young players except Luiz ,with loans most of there value skyrocketed and it isn't like they have paid something close to what they paid for Cuadrado
Even Marina wasn't able to get good money for Torres ,Cuadrado is same kind of flop though with half price .will be impressed if she can get profit for him

Nah, no way a profit, not every deal we do will end in a profit. Torres is a different monster, several years of playing like a donkey, you can't get money for that. 
Although he wasn't doing fantastically well in Serie A for Fiorentina, a half season of not doing very much for us won't harm his price to the point we'd be lucky to get half. I mean, Salah was even worse for the first half of the this past season than Cuadrado was in the second half, and we loaned him to Fiorentina who will then buy him in 2016 for more than what we paid, and that was agreed upon before he kicked a ball for them. That said, he's 4 years younger so that helps, we don't have that kind of advantage with Cuadrado.
I guess one positive about Cuadrado is that we paid an initial price which would rise based on performances, so hopefully he didn't meet any of the requirements and that his price is still just £23m not 26-27. Getting 20 would be nice, you'd be silly to believe his max price would now be £11-12m. No way. I think the smart thing to do would be to wait until after the Copa, he could play well there, that'd help his price. Or maybe convince Chelsea to keep him.

I think Chelsea will struggle to get half what they paid for to be honest. The lad has been that bad.

Like I said, Salah was worse during the first half of the season but we got a good price for him, so it's not the be all end all. We're waiting until after the Copa America to decide on what to do, apparently. I don't know if he's going to be sold for sure or if Mou is willing to give him more time. We'll see.

Good move for him, not sure how he can help Juventus though.

Not even in the squad today! Looks like a deal with juve must be close/done. He was absolutely diabolical whenever he played. Nearly as bad as ADM for us.

He has been horrendous; him and Lallana for Liverpool have been catastrophic signings imo. The difference is, Mourinho saw Cuadrado is nowhere near good enough within a week and has been wanting to ship him out since; Rodgers is still desperately trying to shoehorn his flop into the team in the hope a miracle happens. Lamela is another one who looks completely inept but at least he's young and not pushing 28 like the former two.
