Now that Alves seems to be leaving for PSG, us getting Cuadrado seems even more likely. He might become a better attacking back then what Alves is right now, so he might prove to be an upgrade in that sense, but shouldn't we rather look for a more defensively robust RB and leave the attacking duties to Alba on the left side? Perhaps on paper this seems most reasonable, but it's not unthinkable that it could also work with Cuadrado.
After all, it is possible that he could become a very good all-round back like Alba after getting lots of training and experience in the position, and if Luis Enrique can tactically set it up so only one of them go forward at a time and one stay back to cover defence, it might prove to be stable enough for our defence. Having two backs that are both very good at going forward will make us less predictable than with only one, and this leaves us with more options and attacking variables - something that is really valuable against other top teams.
I would never have thought that Alba would become as sharp defensively as he has become, coming from such an attacking background and all, but he has really stepped up his defensive game this season to a high level in my opinion, and provided cover for the CBs and saved us many times. So if the defensive tactics are done right, and given that Cuadrado has the potential to become Alba-ish on the right side, I think this could work out well.

,so we are now trying to sign best players from Universe not just the planet .good
