Dos Santos for me. Juan Cuadrado is a pace merchent, he's quite one dimensional and can be marked out of game. Also he gets out strengthed SO EASY. Cuadrado is a pace merchaent, he's similar to Jesus Navas but the difference is his final ball is better than Navas's. I would pick Giovanni over Cuadrado, he wasn't bad for Tottenham and he's easily Mexico's best player imo. He's very consistent when given time and he offers that unpredictability, he's also quite two footed so you won't know if he's going to pass, cross, or shoot. He's very creative too, he can create space with his dribbling ability and pick some nice forward passes, he has a good first touch too. Remember he did get TWO goals disallowed in the world cup in one match... and he's had some good seasons and has performed consistently internationally, Cuadrado has only had one good season and his team over achieved.

As a defender though, Cuadrado is definetely not the player you want running at you though. He's more dangerous and direct in the attacking third. Where as Dos Santos is a player that can split a defence open with a pass.

U have to look at both players and by far gio has upper hand than cuadrado, by stats u will see juan and plays for better team but someone pointed out gio made horrible team into mid table to top 8 team, something juan never done that
