Cuadrado means "square" in Spanish, and as far as Juan Cuadrado’s Chelsea career has gone so far that would seem to be entirely apt.
His is the face that doesn’t fit, he’s the odd man out, the square peg in the round hole.
In 14 appearances for the Blues last season it’s pretty difficult to remember him actually doing anything. He’s there in the celebratory pictures that followed successes in the Capital One Cup and the Premier League, but he’s something of a ghostly figure. He almost looked embarrassed.
It’s not because the 27-year-old is a bad player, far from it, but it’s just because he looked to be entirely unsuited to his team.
