No player is unsellable or indispensable in this team. Every player has a price.

I would like him to stay but hardly would lose any sleep if we sold him this summer.
This.

Used to get upset when my favourite players were sold like Vidal which really hurt and to a certain degree even De Ligt.

Chiesa was a favourite but if the guy doesn't want to be here then fuck him he can go.

This is a lose-lose-win situation for management.

If they let him walk or sell him, fans are angry wondering why we didn't pay him.

If they pay him and he produces the same uninspiring results we've seen since the injury, fans are angry wondering why we paid him so much after the injury.

Then again, if they pay him and he produces amazing results, people will feel vindicated in asking for us to retain him. Also, he plays a very similar position to Soule who is on FAR lower wages and recently had more Serie A goals than Chiesa's ever had in a single year. We ask management to make better decisions and we trash management for paying Sandro way passed his prime but fact of the matter is when Sandro signed that extension it looked like good business. It looked like the smart move.

This is the risk management deals with. This might be Sandro right before the extension. I think Chiesa should understand that he hasn't been the same since the injury, sign a 1+1 deal on the same wages and play for a long extension. But that will require some loyalty from management that says if he does perform under Motta and this new attacking system that they will reward him for it.

I strongly disagree. We need a stable core of players to build around and create a winning culture with. Constant sweeping changes made to the lineup like a selling club will only hurt us.

As a selling club we know that one of the three Bremer, Vlahović or Chiesa will leave. Chiesa is the least impressive one, even tho i would love to see him play under a different coach with us.

that’s the thing Chiesa is not a core player. We got four core players - Danilo, Bremer, Rabiot and Vlahovic. Selling any of those would be huge loss for the club harmony

No I don't think we must sell. Maybe that was a plan at the start of the season, but Max's staff was released without compensation, as well as Pogba's salary is gone. Then add Sandro (not sure if by then they knew it's his last season) but overall I think club is healthy financially. Lots of contracts were re-distributed too.

I hope we will not renew Rabiot and sell Tek, and we have even better wage budget.

Because he is just getting over a serious Injury and playing with a Nazi coach

I'd expect him to be twice the player this season

We are already building towards a stable core.

What we don't need is disgruntled players asking for a payrise after having a mediocre season. As a club, we need to make our stance clear on this.

This situation is no different to Dybala's contract situation.

That said, I still hope we can reach an agreement with him.

The question is, does T.Motta want him?
