Interesting one.

A few poster above you seem to disagree but it does take a full season to recover from that type of injury. Maybe he’s back next season.

Juve being prepared to let him go is a red flag for me

Wouldn't say it's much of a red flag - Thiago Motta very much has his own system and wants to make his mark on Juve and Chiesa simply doesn't fit his plans.

Chiesa has one year left on his contract - I imagine Juve would rather get something for him than lose him on a free.
 
Chiesa is perfect for what we are looking for, Juve played him as a striker last season because they didn't play wingers but he is brilliant

Can go on the inside and outside, great on both sides, dream signing, but doubt he wants to come here

Tottenham ready to put €20m on the table - Spurs to sit down for talks quickly

According to a claim in the Turkish media, Tottenham Hotspur are still interested in signing Fenerbahce forward Sebastian Szymanski ahead of this summer’s transfer window. The playmaker has been linked with a move to Spurs in recent weeks and it seems they are now prepared to make their move for...

That hasn't stopped people wanting the likes of Gyokeres... Eze turns 26 in a week's time...

Is turning 27 considered old nowadays? Seems pretty limiting.

I’m not looking at just his age. He turns 27!in October.

That’s in addition to having an injury history. Especially playing in Ange’s team. Being a player who’s speed is a big part of his game. Having no clue how he’ll adapt to the PL. Say it takes a year for him to settle. Suddenly you have a 28 year old player in the squad who still has to prove himself. This is not the type of gamble we should be taking.

It’s not really the same is it? At the very least you can say Eze is PL proven.

Speed is a part of his game, but it's most certainly not his biggest part or the most important. He's one of the best 1 v 1 wingers in world football due to his close control and his ability to create separation (the exact thing none of our wingers are capable of providing) and has been for half a decade. The exact profile fit for an Ange team.

If someone like Chiesa is available, wants to come and can be signed for a good price because of his contract situation, you simply get him in.

We will be playing 50+ games next season. We need a squad. If Chiesa doesn't harm our chances of getting someone like Eze in, even better.

Not sure being Prem proven means too much at all besides being a lazy trope. Most of our best signings of the last 20 years weren't Prem proven. And most of them probably turned out better than the Prem proven ones.
 
Would be a no from me on Chiesa, which is a shame. Good player, actually like him a lot, but he's just not that guy right now. We can't keep stocking up on 6/7 out of 10 attacking players when we already have Kulu, Johnson, Richarlison, Solomon. At least bring in a younger guy with the skills to become a top player.

Whatever about Neto's injury record, if you buy him you have a guy who projects to be extremely high level when he is on the field. Need some great scouting find to pop out of the blue this summer, because it's fairly obvious that Williams, Olise aren't going to happen for us. Quietly, I'm kinda cool on Eze as well for 70m. Would be an exciting, enjoyable signing. Not sure it's what we need or the best use of funds, but he's a fun player.
