    £10m + £2.5m in add ons for Chiesa

    Absolute bargain if he produces the levels we’ve seen in the past

    I’m all for quality players coming over to the PL.

    I'm sure we'll have lots of enquiries in, getting indication of what kind of deal and how much. He'll probably have been one.

    Think using FBREF without the context of the team the player is in is a fundamentally flawed way of judging a player. Go look at Rodri on there, you'd think he was an attacking midfielder based on his percentiles.

    Lens had an average of 55% possession in 22/23 and 52% in 23/24, his defensive numbers are going to be much lower than a player in a team that has much less possession.

    Stats don’t tell the whole story though mate, I’ve genuinely watched him.

    Of course they don’t mate.

    he’s also stepping down in quality

    This has surely got to have been instigated by RLB,who will know this lad.

    Really intrigued to see how he gets on, when Italy won the Euros i thought he was class. A bit of an old school winger, attacking at pace n could go inside or out to beat a man

    Watched him a few times since and hes been shocking for club n country. Seems to have lost some confidence, having said that i think its a cracking deal for Liverpool

    If he reaches his potential he will be a bargin, if he flops theyve hardly spent anything on him

    I said a couple of days ago (probably 100 pages on here) that we're building for the premier league not for only for promotion. It's ridiculous doing what Ipswich are doing right now, much better to build properly now and shape the team

    If we get Mendy/cannon, simic and samed in now, it will be a massive statement of intent.

    If we do go up this year, then we would obviously still need reinforcement next summer, but if we can limit that to max 4 or 5 players instead of a whole team (Ipswich) then all the better.

    Comfortable in any forward position too, isn’t he? I think that versatility will be huge to Liverpool who should go deep in most competitions.

    Don't believe your there and you've looked up that picture just so you can post on here.

    Trying to think of where this lad could start as he is a DM and we have Neil there, maybe RLB wants to be able to rotate often and maintain the quality in the midfield?

    Neil, Jobe, Browne, Rigg, Samed (?) Great options to have in midfield

    Yep, i like that hes not going to be a starter straight away as well. I think he will be a cracking impact sub for them, the pressure is off hin and thats why i like this deal. Its a low risk high reward deal imo

    It’s a long season. We need 5/6 quality midfielders to get us through games

    One step at a time mate. Let's have a side playing exciting,attacking,enjoyable football at the top of the Championship and go from there.
