Spurs twitter getting themselves excited for Chiesa even if all of them know deep down they are only excited because they think the price is something Levy might pay.
I'd prefer to get Bakayoko if we are going for 30m players.
Yoro, Brainthwaite and Martinez is a great group of CBs.
Can't fault the club for investing anyway.
I've yet to see one half way credible link to Chiesa other than the fact we love a cheap juve cast off
It is.
So is Romero, VDV and Dragusin though. IMO!
Not denying that’s good business from Utd though.
I don’t think we can be soley reliant on Maddison for playmaking. It’s similar to how we were half the team without Eriksen (who was crazily available) under Poch. Maddison’s always been injury prone too, and he’s the kind of guy who would raise his game with competition. All in all, we need quality at the top end of the pitch.
On some occasions yes. He can play on the right or left. Allegri was a great coach, important for Juventus but in this second period (Allegri II) there was a lot of tactical confusion. Chiesa (and not just him) was trapped in too many defensive tasks: few balls forward and too much work behind... result: penalized.
Nah. 1 rant from me this summer was after Werner loan.
Nothing that has happened since that decision has changed my mind about what to expect this summer. I like the Gray signing though.
Cue Chiesa going to the goons or geordies and smashing it, whilst our fans cry about how we slept on him….
FWIW I think he‘d be a Van De Vaart style punt - established international who has had injuries and could benefit from the change of scenery. When he’s on it, our attack would be improved immensely
1) It's cheap because it doesn't accept the contract renewal at figures that follow the new company policy (CR7's Versailles is over)
2) It's not a waste but Juventus wants to sell at a low price (€30 million) rather than €0 next year.
3) He is 26 years old
What seems like a limit to you is perhaps the key to not failing tomorrow. Barcelona bought Griezmann for €140 million, the same price as Dembele... It doesn't seem to me that great expenses have been great results...
So where would he play exactly in a Spurs team?
Since recovering from his cruciate ligament tear, Chiesa has never been injured more than 6 days (2 games) at anyone time due to a knee injury and has only had 3 in 2 years.
In the last 2 season, since both recovered from their injuries, Chiesa has missed a total of 27 games through Injury compared to Pedro Neto's 50, which is more games than Chiesa missed when he did his cruciate (45 games) and also as many as when Neto did his (52 games).
Chiesa was looking like he has his explosiveness back at the 2nd half of last season.
I also think Chiesa suits us better, Neto's main strengths (other than speed and dribbling) are his floated crosses, which aren't any good for our attack.
“Just checking here - the last one to finish does what with the biscuit?”Caption Competition;
RM: "Ahhhh, so THAT'S what a creative midfielder looks like!"
Barcelona has also committed the future daughters of the managers... It surprises me how the "virtuous" League allows this financial havoc.
Yes, last season we were reliant on Maddison for anything creative. That's why we need to bring in 2 or 3 genuine starting players and someone that can offer different avenues to goals.
