I see him as a 7/10 talent with 10/10 effort, so it makes a solid 8/10 player. I'm not really sure what players are worth now but €50m or so over some long deal doesn't sound unreasonable.
The issue with Juve is always the same - game time, weight of the shirt, you have to make an impact when you play. This is the move he has wanted for a long time so he has to take his chances.

Not sure what to think about Chiesa. I was against the Bernardeschi transfer from the get go. I am cautiously optimistic on Chiesa though - even though I think the price is a little steep.
The thing about him is that he has so much experience as a protagonist for Fiorentina already and he is still only 22 (feels like he has been around for ages). Has good pace and good skill - and importantly has a great attitude and works his ass off. Compared to someone like Costa (without injury) I don't think he has the same amount of skill when it comes to beating the defender but I feel he has a much better football brain - you can see that from many of his assists and plays. I have seen him play well on both flanks both from an out and out wing forward to wing back. Plus you could always use him as the 4th striker in emergencies.
Irony is that I have a gut feeling that under Pirlo, Bernardeschi may find his best position as a left wing back. He was always put on the right as an attacking forward but his right foot was always average and always cut in on his left - as a wing back on the left I think he could really shine actually. However, I get the feeling that Pirlo's system is somewhat asymmetric - i.e in defence it becomes a back 4 with Danilo and Sandro as full backs - so the right wing back is the more attacking one.

That’s Italian architecture, it looks perfectly fine. Many countries like to keep their history intact, it might appear old and dirty to foreigners but I’m sure there aren’t any used condoms or syringes lying around where a professional NT player is having his medicals.

I like him. Talented and works hard from the little I have seen. Saw him once or twice this year but when I saw him he seemed to play as a lone striker IIRC and the commentators were saying he was being played out of position but only because he was the only available option at the time. He didn't have any impact when I saw him then, or end product or perhaps a better description. I'd rather not make comparisons with Berna because he should be compared with someone that can or has made an impact at the level Juve is on... and Berna hasn't. Given his performance in terms of chances created, goals, and assists, he does seem on par with others in his age at big clubs. I know talks here about playing him as a RWB. But as much as I like Morata, I'd rather give Chiesa a chance in his spot instead.
