The Italian stallion

[mark1975]

The big surprise for me with Chiesa has been how strong he is, for someone who came to us labelled as finished, injury prone and lightweight, he's as strong as an ox and *touch wood* his availability has been pretty good for a long time now.

Here's his Italian stats

• Fiorentina: ~153 apps, 34 goals/assists (combined).
• Juventus: ~131 apps, 32 goals/assists (combined).

Yeah - but they are stats for when he was playing. In typical SCM fashion, folks are considering his stats when the "bald fraud" leaves him on the bench - those show him to be a 2 goal and 3 assists per game player

Wait til you see Endo's stats !

to be honest i thought he was done, he looked so tentative on the pitch at first. like he was petrified to pick up an injury but that all seems to have faded away. i really want to see some half decent minutes on the pitch now or what has all this conditioning and patience been for?

Just allow him to go from being an obscurity to be in contention for one of the first subs. That's all, and go from there.
