Assuming medically and in terms of rehab things have surely only got better in the 30 years since? I mean that's a terrible comparison considering Shearer lost a good deal of pace and had to completely reinvent his game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was not the 1992 ACL injury. He still had good pace in the Blackburn days after his ACL tear. Edited July 7, 2023 by Vinny Green Balls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1992? It wasn't really until the injury in 1997 he had to change? Blackburn had him at his 'peak' and this injury came in 4 months after being there.

Not after his ‘92 injury, but his cruciate injury in ‘97 completely changed him as a player. He was never world class again after that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Chiesa is so strong and powerful when taking players on and he’s only 25 too. Would be a perfect fit for us. Please happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 If Shearer was still THAT Shearer after 97, there's no way he would have stayed through the Dalglish / Ruud Gullit era, he would have gone / been snapped up at once. We probably wouldn't have finished 13th either to be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Chiesa is probably a better fit for the team in terms of needing a RW more than a RAM for 4-3-3 than Szobzolai. So all is forgiven if we can actually secure him - there is definitely method to the madness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love how he when he hits the ball it seems to lift, swerve then dip into the near/far corner like it's equipped with some sort of homing missile technology. It should be part of the Star Trek franchise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Taking it with the usual pinch of salt but Chiesa would be a sensational signing. Probably the best player we could get for that right wing position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Quote Federico Chiesa is waiting for updates from the football transfer market, aware that significant developments could soon emerge from the Premier League. His agents' trips to England, officially tied to the Pulisic deal, have also been used to scout foreign markets, particularly considering interest from Chelsea, Newcastle, and Liverpool. Sandro Tonali's recently ambitious team, buoyed by qualification for the next Champions League, is contemplating an all-Italian double with Chiesa's addition. The relationship with agent Ramadani is excellent and this could be a foundation for an appealing deal from the English side. There are plans for more direct enquiries and new exploratory discussions in the coming days to check the feasibility of a potential negotiation. For now, there seems to be no rush from the involved parties to find an immediate solution. Chiesa's current status is balanced between staying and leaving Turin for an overseas club. The new director, Cristiano Giuntoli, would prefer to retain him, or at least sell him for an unmissable offer of around €60 million. However, the value of the winger has dropped considerably after his serious injury, currently hovering around €40 million. This presents a twofold issue involving both the field and the transfer market, particularly stemming from his lack of rapport with Massimiliano Allegri. Chiesa's less-than-ideal relationship with Juventus' coach has been a notable concern, with the player often appearing restless on the pitch. The former Fiorentina winger struggled with a formation that didn't suit his style, repeatedly hinting that he feels valued only in a three-man attack. Allegri, for his part, disapproved of the 1997-born player's on-field behaviour, especially his tendency to overdo dribbling and lose the ball in key areas of the field. Regarding the transfer issue, it's important to note Chiesa's contract expiration in 2025. In other words, without a transfer, Juventus might find themselves with an unhappy player nearing the end of his agreement. This could prove difficult to manage. There seems to be no viable Italian solutions. If Chiesa decides to leave Juventus, he would request a higher salary than his current €5 million per season, which would be a significant hurdle for Italian clubs to overcome.

Sandrotastico Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 This would be a statement signing. Kinda reminds me a little of Des Hamilton but with Parmesan on top. Fingers crossed we get him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Loan with an option to buy, please. He’s only started two games in a row once since his injury. We don’t want to sign a guy who can only play 25 games a year like ASM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 If he’s the player from the Euro’s then obviously a no brainer. Just ain’t seen him play in years. I do think it be great to have another Italian on board to help him and Tonali settle in. Think Bruno and Joelinton have both benefited from a similar scenario.
