Chiesa:
1. Is a versatile player who can play anywhere across the front line
2. has exceptional workrate
3. Is quick and direct
4. Is young
5. Almost never injured
Not every signing we make needs to be a superstar. I don’t rate Chiesa as an exceptional talent, but I think he could be a very useful addition to the team.

I would far rather have Chiesa in the team than either Suarez or Dzeko.
He is a lot younger, more versatile, works harder, and is faster.
If you look at Bayern Munich and Liverpool, you see that today’s game is all about speed and intensity. Chiesa is not that technically gifted but he suits the modern game well.

He can't play WB on left. That player lines up as LB defensively.
We have plenty of AM options and he isn't an AM anyway.
We're getting Morata as third striker, and should we need another one, it should be someone like Kean, not 50m Chiesa.
We're struggling to get rid of excess players and don't have funds for players we need (actual F/WBs) and could actually use (like generational talent Aouar who costs the same) and had to settle for Suarez/Dzeko/Morata/Giroud selection, and you wanna drop 50m on Chiesa coz he's eclectic? What are you, Marotta?

1. Cuadrado is 32 and suffers from muscle injuries every season. Chiesa is an excellent option as RWB.
2. He wouldn’t be first choice attacking midfielder but we need depth up top and Chiesa provides that with his versatility. We can’t win the league and challenge for the UCL with only 11 players
3. Chiesa played striker very often last season, often in a two man partnership with Ribery. Chiesa can play that role.
4. You don’t need a typical box striker to win the UCL. Look at Liverpool 2019. Football is evolving.
5. I’d rather drop 50m on a 22 year old then add yet another 33 year old to our team who will be deadwood within a season. As we have experienced this summer, it’s very hard to get rid of old players on high wages.

His attacking output is too weak to play him as an attacker IMO. His best position would we RWB in 352 which he played just a couple of days ago for Fiorentina (and he had an assist) or as a winger in 442/4231.
In our lineup vs Samp he could play RWB or perhaps a little more advanced position like Ramsey's, who at times played as a winger that cuts in.
IMO we should cash in on DC and go for Chiesa. We have no Cuadrado replacement and he's versatile enough to play in other positions too.
I'd never buy him for classic 433 though.

1. I already mentioned Kulu and Wes as RWB/RM options. And then you've useless Berna. Why do you want yet another option?
2. We don't have 11 players. We've too many players we're trying to get rid of. Depth where Chiesa can play isn't needed as I highlighted, including RWB.
3. I said he can play SS (even though doesn't score a lot and better as hardworking wide player) but isn't a box striker, which you understood based on 4, so what are you talking about?
4. You don't need to start a #9 but you need one in the squad. And for the love of god, quit mentioning Liverpool and Bayern.
5. Exactly. We're trying to get rid of players and don't have "11" like you claimed in 2. How about drop 50m on 22 yo Aouar? After securing 5th option for RWB, what do you plan on doing for LB and with what funds?

Kulu and Chiesa are completely different players. Chiesa is noticeably quicker, while Kulu is a better passer. Kulu is far more suited to playing as a 10 while Chiesa is better out wide. They actually compliment each other quite well.
Kulu at wingback would be a complete waste of talent.
Chiesa is significantly better than the players we are trying to get rid of, is that not how you improve and upgrade a team? Get rid of the bad players and bring in better ones?
My point is that he can play as a forward/false 9. He can also play on either flank and as an attacking midfielder. He can play all those positions at a reasonably high level. His value lies in his adaptability.
Why should I stop comparing ourselves to the best teams in Europe? Is that not where we should aspire to be?
I actually think that Bernardeschi can make decent LWB, and I also believe that Sandro is coming back from injury soon. Beyond that, Chiesa would likely be first choice RWB if we bought him. He’s better than Cuadrado nowadays.
As a whole, I believe our team lacks pace, intensity and width. We play too narrow and we don’t have enough players who are rapid. Chiesa is not an amazing talent but he could be an amazing system player.
