HaydnNUFC Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Let me cut to the chase. We are not getting Chiesa. Or Lindstrøm. Or Diaby. Or Harvey Barnes. Or Kudus. In seriousness, personally do have slight reservations about Chiesa given that ACL and subsequent form after, mind. As much as I'd be chuffed if he signed here.

gbandit Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 We’d mainly be signing him to keep Tonali from crying his eyes out every night. Get him in, get them a bunk bed to keep Tonali on the level and we’re sorted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was never world class again after that Pretty sure the 97 injury was snapped ankle ligaments too, for what it’s worth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmelads Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) Shearer did his ACL at 23 and then his ankle at 27. Nowadays treatment has come a long way with quicker return to action and generally potential for better recovery too. People seem to think Kane can be compared on the basis he could still overtake the record, but there's no chance he would have with those injuries. Or to invert the point, Shearer would have been out of reach without those injuries. If you could choose either at their prime, there's absolutely no one picking Kane above Shearer, yet now the comparison exists because of numbers and medical advancements. There's a reason you're now seeing players like Modric starting the Champions Lge Final in his late 30s and winning it, and players pushing 40 at the top level. And Modric is for me one of the best midfielders of all time, but that longevity wouldn't have been possible a generation ago.

Coffee_Johnny Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 1 hour ago, SteV said: Did he not mean two months to get back to full sharpness after the actual recovery (however long that was)? As has been mentioned it would be physically impossible to recover from an ACL in two months. Can’t recall exactly, but pretty sure he said that against the odds, he played his first game two months later. Not sure whether it was a practice match/reserve game to begin to build match fitness. He also said, that nobody would give home a timeframe (surgeon or club medical staff) and inferred it was standard practice as (a) time to recover (which apparently doesn’t always happen) was so variable and (b) to counterbalance any demoralisation, if it was a big number. First bit is key point, it isn’t correct to state it is at least one year. It varies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Chiesa was my dream signing with the Euros were on and the takeover was still rumbling away. So cant bring myself to get into this one. Old man Chiesa was linked in 1996. Shearer's first serious injury was 92. Was intimidatingly good for Blackburn then and Haalanding up the joint with 22 goals by Boxing Day when he got injured.

St1pe Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Keep reading the term smokescreen and don’t believe for a second any club has tried to sign a player as cover for signing another player If I’ve read links to us to Chiesa and we’re actually close to Barnes though..
