Didnt we sound out his representatives last summer as an alternative to Sancho but were told he wanted to stay in italy?
Federico Chiesa
- Thread starter tentan
- Start date
Thats your opinion. In all his 13 games i watched he was amazing, beast mode, his biggest strength is that he can repeat a lot of sprints of 5,10,15,20 m. He has the ability to fast recover and his initial vo2 is outstanding (check first few things then comment about the lad). Its ok to dislike someone i dont care but this lad is the biggest hardworking player on the field.Are you serious
I think nobody in this thread watches any juve games.
The euros make him look much better than he actually is. Especially his pace and dribbling skills aren't good enough for the highest level.
His pace and dribbling skills are not good? oh God sometimes i ask myself are people watching the same game.
Ok...we got Amad, great, he is the only one in the last 10years we got a "talent" from italy. How can you be satisfy? You wont like it but i bet he wont succed here. Panic buy.
Agree totally, I actually find it kind of freaky watching Chiesa because my mind is telling me that's just Son in an Italy kit. The running style, the speed, the directness, the shooting off either foot whenever he gets the chance etc. Even the goal the other night was classic Son. Both are also somehow taller than you imagine.
Off the top of my head Gollini, Rossi, Petrucci, Ercolini, Amad Macheda, Darmian, Taibi…. Silvestre came from Milan didn’t he? I’m sure there’s more? Just because they mostly didn’t work out here doesn’t mean we don’t scout Italy.
I agree with you. Chiesa looks really promising
His pace is literally is best quality. He's probably the fastest in the national team and in JuventusAre you serious

Going to play a key part in the English demise
Monster until he got injured
Was the MotM but someone else has a chance to snatch it now.
He’s a classy little player. Definitely a match winner. Bayern are right to be interested.
Awesome player
Great performance shame he got injured.
He was a nuisance all game long, I'm impressed.
The word was we enquired, maybe we were even preparing to prepare a bid, but he knocked us back and said he’d prefer to stay in Italy. The England defenders didn’t know what to do with him.
Much better than I gave him credit for before the tournament. Big time player with a great mentality. That’ll make him go far even before his skill.
I remember something similar. We we’re definitely linked but he wanted Juve.
Been saying it for years now and I'm glad he's showing his class at the highest level. If it wasn't for him, I'm confident England would've won the game, 1-0, he was brilliant and a real driving force.
He was brilliant today very direct and always seemed dangerous
Bonneville, chiellini and Italy midfielder would have still held their own
Looks absolutely class
Bayern are sniffing around him. Why would Juve ever let him go though, unless the need the funds.
Chiesa hasn't hit his prime yet, let's see how he performs over the next 2-4 years.
They were a goal down.
Italy scored from a set piece
Italy scored from a set-piece that Chiesa won.
Player of the tournament for me. Unstoppable when driving with the ball, works hard both ways and he's got excellent mentality.
He is a Son type of winger. Can be wrong but personally I don't think he is a ballon d'or level of talent.
He has a scrappy playing style and his technique can look unrefined in certain moments. However, he is extremely direct, has a good eye for goal and an absolute workhorse for the team.

I think he's really skilled with the ball and his shooting techniques are great.
Is it just me or does he look like he should be a postman or something?
Anyway, quite a tidy player to be honest, seems to make things happen/cause trouble in the final third.

From what I've seen, close control dribbling and intricate passing aren't really his strengths. But I agree he is very dangerous with his shooting. He is more of a Son, Mbappe, Salah type of winger than Neymar or Hazard.
He was well and truly a headache today. Good old fashioned willingness to take on a man, didn't appear to have many tricks or flicks, just bravery and directness. They were a much worse side without him.
When our dribblers did that we didn't seem to have an option within 30 yards and they ran down a cul de sac as a result.

Italys best attacking player tonight.
Italy looked very different once he went off. He’s had a great tournament.
Absolute baller, Italy's attack lost its spark once he had to come off. Hopefully not going to Bayern.
Juve had better seal thar loan to permanence..
As a Juve fan totally agree. He's getting better from a technical point of view, but it will never be is best strength, that's is mentality. If he improves his off the ball movement he's gonna be incredible
Kinda infuriating that it all came together for him as soon as he signed for fecking juventus
But at least we have a genuine world class forward now, finally. Hoping Kean, Raspadori or Zaniolo can come good in time for the world cup...
I very much liked Insigne as a false 9, we should try more of that

Think if England had AWB, he will have trouble performing last night.
My player of the tournament. He was the one Italian player we couldn't cope with all night.
Fantastic player.
He would fit straight into 1990-2000s Serie A, reminds me so much of that era with his style and stance.

Yeah he came alive in that position. Had more influence on the game.
That's not true - he was ineffective when playing against Shaw and Maguire. He only came to life when playing against Walker and Trippier.
