Juan Cuadrado Is a Valuable Commodity, and Chelsea Should Cash in While They Can

There isn't a player who divides opinion at Chelsea quite like Juan Cuadrado.

On one side of the debate are those supporters enamoured by his exploits with Colombia and his time spent in Serie A with Fiorentina and on loan at Juventus last term. Then there are those still coming to terms with his disastrous first six months at Chelsea in 2014-15.

Cuadrado replaced Andre Schurrle that January, and his transfer completely tanked. So poor were the few appearances he made, the Colombian actually weakened Chelsea's squad. And the Blues had paid the best part of £24 million for the privilege.
