How much are you wanting to bet?
Whilst I would live the Chiesa of the Euros, not sure he truly exists now, if healthy and with enough of the dynamism left I’m all in, but there’s good reason he’s touted at what £45m and not been snapped up.
Absolute gamble, of NDombele financial proportions.
I agree. I reckon his real name is Ben Smith but changed his name so that people might mix him up for Gary Jacobs and give him some undeserved credibility.
Ornstein on TS right now:
"Be it City previously or BM & Utd currently, Levy has never put a price-tag on Kane... Only reiterating that he's not for sale".
He said that he "believes" Kane is open to the idea of BM, but he's not putting any pressure on and the situation is nothing like City/2021.

I think we’ve been looking at it wrong.
Europe is a closed shop. But, just like LIV golf, over the next decade, the petro states will assemble a series of elite teams and have them form their own international league. It will offer way more money for way less effort (far fewer games).
It’s not about current players; it’s the next generation. FIFA and UEFA will kick up a stink but money always wins out.
He may be right, but chiesa only has 1200 total minutes since the injury.
I'm fine with Ange having a good look at him during pre-season. Perhaps he wants to make him a DM again. He's defo got the passing range and if he's got 2 solid CB behind him and gets help from the two 8s + wingers to defend, perhaps he could get back to his best. Here's hoping. Maybe Ange sees him as just a backup anyway, be it at the 6 or at CB.
I'd rather he gets sold, but at the same time he's not the first one I'd wanna get rid off. We need English players, we ain't Chelsea or Woolwich. Eric knows the club inside out, he's loved & respected by players and the board. Not so long ago he played well enough to get back into the England convo. Maybe...maybe..there's that one last chance for him thanks to Big A.
I'm sure after the first friendly, if not first training session, that he will ,"receive an indication that we are willing to offload him".
Strange conclusion to come to from this article. Sounds like Ange wants to use him.
Dier doesn't have the mobility for DM anyone, plus he crumbles when pressed, which would be a disaster for the #6 position in Ange's system.
But can a petro league sustain itself? Sure the league can afford to lose money for a few years but not forever.
And personally, I’ll never watch the petro league over English football, even if all the best players are there.
VERY good post.
Bergamo or where they film 24 hours in police custody, tough one

Which itself is troubling... He was in and out all last season for one reason or another.
He's already 26 come October.
There's no way I'd risk top player fee & wages on him.
Got a lot to do to justify a 100m fee.
He was just first choice in his position for a club that won the treble.
That's a team accolade; it doesn't make him personally worth the fee paid.
Individually, at that level with that pricetag; if he can't start adding G&A to a now great graft-level; he won't get to keep that place for too long.
