The Italian stallion

I thought you'd be happy. Cause if we buy a DM/CM it's your boy Cujo who's becoming the new Nat Philips
As I have said before the number 6 role is for those footballers that are pretty shit at everything - and by my definition Cujo is too talented to be a number 6, he is a box to box LCM. It is unfortunate that Slot has not realized this yet - but in time he will.
 
I want to see his highlights from last season.

It took VVD a year to come back (after) his serious injury into any serious shape.

Chiesa does play in a role where pace, and twisting and turning is more important, so i'd be intrigued to see how he looks 18-24 months after his injury.

When Luis Diaz had his knee injury in 22/23, he didn't come back the same that year. It was actually only this season where I've looked at him and thought he looks in really great shape again (the run vs Walker + Rodri last year, was probably the sign he was getting back his power).
 
This extended clip is all from last season, for me it’s pretty impressive and honestly some of the misses from Vlahovic and Milik are an absolute joke. Chiesa has that end product, is 2 footed. Direct, pacey and skillful. Everything you want in a wide man.

Cheers. I know what he was before his injury. All the things you've said. That Chiesa is a starter over Diaz on the left wing.

But I haven't seen him since. I'll check out the highlights (although I saw a highlights package earlier that said 24, but it was showing clips pre-injury).
 
I’m getting excited by this because our squad would be better with Chiesa than without. He also might be seen as Jota back up instead of the donkey.

This and the GK show that we’ve got data nerds back in the club
 
He was tripped
He fell
He got back up
He scored

I’ve been waiting for a player like this all my life

Its been 23 months now since he returned from the ACL injury. He was involved in 35 games in 22/23 and 37 games in 23/24. The 22/23 season looks like a season getting back to fitness and sharpness.

Last season he scored 10 goals in 37 games and played a lot, 2512 mins for Juventus.

I think he's back from that knee injury and fitness wont be an isse.
 
This sounds like a prime wheeling and dealing value type of signing. Like I bet we can get that ridiculous fee back for him even if he turns out to be a total disaster

We don't sell players, we let them walk. So if he is disaster, it's a £10m disaster and not £85m as in the case of Ox and Naby, though I argue that Ox gave some clutch moments
 
He's been linked with a move quite alot ever since he joined Juve. He seems to be flirting with a move every season but somehow never seemed to do so. I wager he has a greedy cunt of an agency behind him like most of the players with a famous father.

They will want 10m for his agency, 10m for his father and 10m for him. Will not happen.
 
My Juventus-season-ticket-holding cousin in Malta has just messaged me about this saying it looks like it's happening, so the word is out in and around Italy as well.

Chiesa is a tremendous player but a proven sicknote. In any case LFC signing an Italian player would be the triumph of hope over experience. Aquilani, Balotelli, Borini, Dossena, Paletta, Padelli - are we hoping this guy would turn out to be Lucky no.7?

It's the hope that bills you!

15m please.
 
We signed Paletta from Argentina.

Italians generally don't travel that well but we haven't exactly signed the cream of the crop in the past.

Balotelli particularly was a criminal transfer. Borini as well was baffling - a player that was pretty much good at nothing.

Sorry, no apols.for including Paletta who had an Italian passport because of his Italian ancestry.

The others may or may not have been as good as Chiesa at his best, but the point is that we thought at the time they were good enough for us.
