Chiesa's first interview is impossible to read without smiling. The guy is absolutely buzzing to be signing for us. His Dad and his missus both literally said "go" as soon as he said 'Liverpool' to them. He even got his missus to play YNWA as they were coming in to land ?
Also, really impressed by his English, it's absolutely perfect so that should really help him to settle quickly. I'm just absolutely ecstatic about this one. I think it'll turn out to be the best signing we've made since the summer when we signed Alisson and Fabinho. Let's go get that silverware!

MKS, did you see the part where he was told that Enrico (his dad) had actually scored at Anfield during Euro 96 for Italy? I remember that goal vividly as it is the first time I ever saw Enrico Chiesa. "Peppo" later said that he asked his dad about the move and his dad without hesitation said to hi, "Go! ".
I know it's early but I have to say, I cannot believe a player I have loved watching and wanted to see at LFC and never thinking it could/ would happen is actually now, at LFC and I get to watch him play. I still have to pinch myself when I think about it in isolation.

My deep reservations about Chiesa are now moot. He's wearing our shirt I'm all in. I hope I'm proven wrong. Good news is I almost always am.
Love your positivity MK.
Let's do Madrid, let's do the whole village.

I have been a fan of his for a while although he just hasn’t been amazing for allegri due to a combination of allegri’s style and what seems to be a mental impediment coming back from a serious injury, but the ability is clearly there, let’s just hope he can stay fit like he did last season. On his day he is excellent to watch, very direct, excellent work rate, loves to take on defenders and carry the ball up the field, I’d say he’s quite similar to Lucho in some regards really. My dream is to see kubo and kvaratskhelia don the Liverpool shirt, I’m praying that happens next season ?.

He looks genuinely over the moon to have joined us. And that’s a great sign. Looking forward to seeing him play.

I agree lads, I think it’s a great signing and as said he seems genuinely happy about being with us, not seen any naysayers posting yet, you know the ones that said he’ll probably fail his medical, Melo in disguise, always injured, etc etc, I’m looking forward to seeing him play, he offers something that maybe other Liverpool players might not, he might even feature on Sunday depending on how things go.

100% that’s what it’s all about. Before someone signs we all have an opinion but when he pulls that Liverpool shirt on he’s one of us ?? we can all be excited because he’s got real desire to be here.

Agree with the sentiment lads. The only Liverpool players I don't have time for are the very few that didn't try.

Chiesa if fit for me will be a reflection of how good slot is. If slot can bring out the very best of a FIT chiesa then you're looking at salahs replacement but that's a big question mark. It's unlikely but it's possible.

FORZA LIVERPOOL.

MIZER - there's fit, there's injured, there's sharpness. let's hope after playing 37 out of 43 games last season and playing the Euros he is ready and raring to go.

Let’s be realistic he doesn’t have to do very much to recoup his fee.
You get the feeling he knows people question if he’s got it anymore and the lad seems so keen to prove people wrong. Love that.
He looked genuinely happy to be here. Great to see.
There have been few players we’ve signed I’ve wanted to succeed as much I do him.
