Federico Chiesa: High Risk, High Reward!
20mil could be a bargain
Good Evening Ladies and Gents,
Today I wanted to write a short note to the board on two transfers we should be pursuing that could be extremely good value but are also high risk but high reward.
The first of which is Federico Chiesa, he is an exceptional talent, has the ability to go both ways and play anywhere across the front line, supposedly what the club are after.
He of course has his down side with injuries but they have got better over the last 12 months and he only missed 5 Serie A matches in the 23/24 season.
For 20million euros this deal has extreme value for money written all over it to me, he is incredibly direct, an absolute machine and has brilliant goal involvement numbers.
I would love to see us try this deal.
The next player is one myself, Si and Jai have all routed for and mentioned on numerous occasions, that is of course Ivan Toney, 40m is a bargain for a player of his style and calibre in my opinion, he seems to be getting his confidence back more and more and being the avid England fan I am I have watched multiple training videos etc and he seems to be in a really good space right now compared to where he seemed to be mentally when returning from his ban.
He has so many facets to his game that could enhance our style and our attack, he’s a leader, a shithouse and a natural in front of goal.
not everyone will agree with these suggestions and they are both high risk, but they are also high reward.
These are my opinions and I am interested in hearing yours.
Thanks for reading.

Love both these signings in a vacuum, but I do have a couple concerns.
Would Chiesa sign up for no CL football? Would his wage demands be too high? Would it be worth blocking Mudryk and Noni’s growth?
Same concerns for Toney. He’s a beast! But his also in his big payday window. Would be sign for a salary that wouldn’t upset the rest of the dressing room? And is it worth blocking Jackson who’s one of the rising stars?
I was speaking to a friend of mine who supports Juve about Chiesa, and it definitely still sounds like a gamble.
He basically said that Chiesa has definitely underperformed this season, but many Juve fans feel that Allegri "destroyed his role as winger", and that he'd shine with the right teammates next to him.
Personally I think he'll stay in Italy, but we'll see. Can see him having a Dybala sort of comeback if he finds the right team.
As for Toney, I'd like it. He adds something different, but honestly I still want to see Jackson lead the line this season. Think he'll kick on over the next couple of years.
