Meh. Any transfer rumor that has to be qualified with ā€œat the right priceā€¦ā€ isn’t that exciting.

: Liverpool are considering a move for Juventus winger Federico Chiesa. #LFC sources maintain the club’s interest in Chiesa is exploratory. He has one year remaining on his contract and Juventus value him at around €15m.

I am sorry , if you find it funny. I didn’t want to spam this thread by constantly posting 5-6 posts every 2 minutes. Let alone didn’t have time , as my priorities are different, if you care to read the PS section of my post.

The idea was to keep this thread on topic and conclude this conversation to a decent end, so that everyone can again enjoy rumors. Please don’t judge people when you are not in their shoes. Thanks

If we’re willing to spend 15 mil euro on Chiesa, I’d rather spend 50 on one who isn’t always injured.

my goodness… it was all in good spirit… was not making fun of you at all. was highlighting how what you said was the same complaint from my work… was not a dig at you mate

Federico Chiesa is one of a number of options Liverpool are assessing ahead of the transfer deadline. [

5 days left in the transfer window, there won’t be many opportunities like that. The player we might have paid 50M for is now 70M…

Chiesa has had a decent run for Juve over the last year, just a bout of problems in January (the ligament tear was January 2022). Juve is trying to move him for his relatively high wages due to their own constraints, not because he hasn’t been able to play.

Chiesa seems to be getting back to closer to his previous level. Last season he was productive and played over 30 times. I thought he was a busted flush after his injury, but looking into it since we have been linked, that’s not the case.

Could be a very canny purchase. Tricky. Opens it up in the final third. I agree with the low downside/high potential upside evaluation.

Switching gears slightly, but what about any updates on a defender? Lukeba talk?

Balotelli.

Please. No.

I think he is getting mislabeled here. He had one bad injury 3 years ago and his reintroduction in 22-23 was a bit stop-start, but outside of that two year window around the ACL injury there is nothing remotely eyebrow raising about his injury record. Like pretty much anyone there are one or two games here or there he missed, but he has otherwise been a player who has generally been available for selection. Far more noteworthy is the question of what his 100% level is now he’s recovered, but I think the uncertainties there are reflected in his price tag.

Fair enough. Price still makes me nervous in today’s market.
