If only he doesnā€™t get injured a beautiful cultured player. Can play as a CAM as well as a winger - . Wonā€™t mind him for around 12 million.

Doesnā€™t pass handsome check.

Why are they selling him, for a modest price too?

Is there an injury issue? Or some deeper story?

We are getting our Keita replacement.

Short term contract or loan or possible highly weighted playing contract Iā€™d probably do the deal.

Still need a CB in my view.

He suffered a season ending knee injury 3 seasons ago. Two years ago he was well off the pace when he returned, but had somewhat of a return to form last season, but now he is entering the final year of his contract and Juve are not interested in renewing on the same terms. They are now at an impasse and seemingly preferring to get anything for him now than lose him on a free next summer.

I mean, this is comparable to the Shaqiri money, no? Surely Chiesa is a tier above the Cube.

Did you watch them/him this weekend? I had not seen the transfer rumour, was watching the game, and thinking ā€˜Wolves desperately need a new left backā€™. I have yet to see him play anywhere near a standard to enter the conversation.

Nope.

Alt nouri is a dunce in defending.

If we signed Chiesa, would he play the 1 in the 2-1? Or is he more of a winger?

This is I think the truly unnerving thing about not spending this summer. It isnā€™t a matter of standing pat on what we have if key players are looking for signals about how seriously the club is taking getting back to the top of the mountain.

Take the Italian approach to negotiating an offer.

One year loan, they pay 80% of his wages. We have an obligation to buy for Ā£28.99 (not million) next summer if he matches Mo for goals. Anything less and itā€™s an option at Ā£19.99 and a dozen of the best pizzas in Turin. A single injury and they owe us a Fiat Panda for every shirt the club shop sells with his name on the back.

Take it or leave it.

Too generous

Donā€™t they usually leave it.

Probably still more chance of this happening than some of their deals.

He is primarily a winger. He prefers the left to come inside onto his right foot, but is fairly two footed so plenty comfortable on the right as well. One of comments about him though is that he seems still physically cautious and so hasnā€™t been as dynamic since his return as he was before and so Juve felt that version of him was more useful playing centrally as a 10/second striker kind of role.

There are just a lot of red lights flashing about him being considered as a viable back up to Mo for RW let alone a potential replacement.

Chiesa rumours leave me feeling a bit meh.

Suspect heā€™d spend half his time on the treatment table and half his time rolling around on the pitch.
