Berna went for 40 m 
I saw someone here on Tuz suggest that we could play Bernardeschi as LWB and Chiesa on the opposite flank, and the more I think about it the more I like it. It's the last chance to get any value out of Berna other than selling him for 20 mil or something. He's very athletic and decent dribbler, those are the most important attributes in the position. Although we've seen Frabotta dropping back to LB in 4-4-2 defensive shape against Sampdoria, Berna would be a liability there.

My favorite take on Chiesa is well Bernardeschi didn’t work out so Chiesa won’t either. Mongoloid logic.
Chiesa would be an amazing addition. How can a player be “overrated” when essentially everyone agrees he’s overvalued? Everyone knows he’s not worth 70m. That doesn’t mean he’s not a good player. Can play on either flank or up front, has an endless engine, wears down defenses, creates for others, can bang 10+ goals himself, defends, is just 22, almost never injured, and comes from great bloodlines. We’d be lucky to have him.

I've no doubt we opened a dialogue for Chiesa, that the links are real, but I also have little doubt it's to be at an advantageous position next summer when there'll be market opportunity with his contract running out.
We play with a RM and LB. If he arrives, he'll play RM. Right now, we have Cuadra, Kulu, Wes, Berna for that role. It's true two of them will also play other roles.
How many players do we have now in the squad? Not too long ago it was 27.
