£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.

Not sure on class. He might be at this level.
Here’s some percentile data for the analyst nerds

last season vs top 5 leagues. Nothing special.

Vs ligue 1 midfielders the season he played 33 times and finished 2nd

there’s nothing stand out. But that is a higher level of opposition
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.

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.

Just in Whitby for a few days and taking this as a sign we are going to announce a new player today. Also the alleyway appears to be named after RTG :emoticon-0102-bigsm

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

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

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
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.
