Why are we spending money on Chiesa? Are we really that stupid . we need to strengthen our midfield, that is our main weakness.
We have to go for Aouar or De Paul. If we are not able to spent 40/50 mil for Aouar, I am sure that Udinese will swap for some players with us.
De Paul is a great Mid. On top of that we have Kulusevski who is better that Chiesa, who is overrated by the Italian media.
Midfielders please, please and good ones. I do not ask for Pogba or SMS cause not in our budget, way to expensive.

I'd also stay away from Chiesa. He's right footed Berna - fast dude with little end product that needs space to operate. Both are actually good fits for wingers in 442 or wingbacks in 352. Just run a lot, help your friends and produce an assist or goal once every few games (when in form).

If we assume that Kulu replaces DC, then Berna's replacement should be Zaniolo. If we can't afford Zaniolo now, start to save up money for next year. We need to buy good fits instead of choosing out of what is available in the market.

I don’t get the comparison with Berna. Chiesa is more a classical winger, indeed uses a lot of speed, but cross way more, is more dynamic and shoots often. Berna, Kulu, Zaniolo, Ilicic, etc are all very different from him; more physical, technical, less width, left footed, they all have a very different profile than Chiesa has, with Berna obviously the least of them.

I’ve seen games at Italy U21 for example where Chiesa was carrying the team as LW and Zaniolo failed to impress as RW.

If I could choose I’d also choose Zaniolo, but the comparison with Berna isn’t right. From a tactical point of view Chiesa offers something very different compared to Kulusevski or Zaniolo.

If signing Zaniolo becomes impossible I’d be very happy to add Kulu to the midfield and sign Chiesa as a RW, for the right prize of course.

Why people here against him?
Maybe because he is a bit overrated.
I dont know how much Fiorentina asks for him but if its more than 30-35M+player it is just too much for a player like him.
He might be good but he might also fail - Kind of a new Bernardeschi type of deal.
Kulusevski is different because he proves himself every game and also has the stats to back it up + very young + didnt cost much.

As for Chiesa - I rather see us sign no one than pay 50M for Chiesa (only cash type of deal or 50M plus a player) - Its not that he isnt good, it is just that its a bad deal...
