Ed, do we still have interest in Fofana? If Chiesa is not going to get any chance, might as well let him go and get someone else in. Maybe not this January but in the summer.
{Ed001's Note - I believe so, yes. He did reject offers to wait for us, so I hope so.}

Still not sure what the issue is with Chiesa. He is a great player that needs games to build back up to where he once was really not sure he hasn’t been given a chance.
He always plays with good energy it seems bizarre to me especially as Gakpo is way off at the moment. Any idea Ed? Other than Slot not wanting him and favouring certain players.
{Ed001's Note - it is all Slot's choice.}

I'd imagine Chiesa would have started in Milan if he wasn't ill.

Do you think ed he will look for a move with it being a world cup year or hope to win his place with Gakpo out and Mo away?
{Ed001's Note - he wanted to stay in the summer, I would think he is still hoping to stay and establish himself.}

Ed001 I find that one so strange because most players have been of form but every time Chiesa has played this season he has been one of the better players.
You think they are trying to force him out of the club.
{Ed001's Note - he just doesn't play the way Slot wants to play from the start - he is full of energy, enthusiasm and attacking intent.}

Full of energy, enthusiasm and attacking talent. Definitely not a Slot player ?.

I'm surprised we haven't seen more of Chiesa, at the start of the season when we were picking up results but not playing well he almost seemed to fill the Jota impact sub role, so with Gakpo not playing well it seems a strange one to me that he isn't given a run of games.
