‘FANTASTIC! ’ Why Federico Chiesa is a ‘good gamble’ for Liverpool under Arne Slot | ESPN FC

all right let's get a couple transfer uh deadline uh conversations here before we get out of the show uh B Fredo kza is going to uh to Liverpool you guys mentioned it earlier maybe need a central defensive midfielder but you get another player in the attack uh Stevie what do you think about this for your Club 13 million Stevie that's why that's why it's a good gamble you know it's a good gamble you know for that for that amount of money you get you can get a nobody you know nobody's today cost that amount of money so yes he's got he's had problems with these injuries and certainly hasn't been the same player since what 2020 with the Euro the Euro fantastic so so we we we know what he's capable of unfortunately it's been four years since he's produced that probably because of injuries um the other thing that makes me think Darwin Nunes might be on his way out the fact that they've seen ker because because I think in terms of going forward they've got enough players right now but if nunas is going then ker for all the reasons I mentioned there uh is is is good to have in the squad um you know if Mo Salah is leaving next next season which it seems likely you know if ker gets himself fit uh and starts producing again maybe he slots in there somewhat uh so yeah it to be honest it's all about the money the fact that it's pennies It's A Drop in the Ocean 13 mil and the fact is there there's potential there no question he's experienced so I guess I'm trying to convince myself and I'm nearly there that it's a decent signing it is it is a decent signing because of 13 million you can't even get somebody's like you know a right leg for 13 million these days like the fact that you get Federico kza for that is is fantastic and Stevie said it like injuries of course uh reaching the end of his contract but Juventus were desperate because they're economically desperate to make sure that they offload some people he's 26 as well like yes he's not the same player as like 2020 like Stevie said but like he's 26 and here's the key thing he's not the starter like you've got Lucho Diaz yoot Muhammad Salah Darwin Nunes so he's going to be eased in there's no pressure on him like all right right federo let's see what you can do we got some domestic Cup competitions I talked about the very beginning of this uh in that first question regarding Liverpool's chances for the title they need a squad and they need to stay healthy F KZ is not being asked to start and play 90 minutes every single time he's now part of a squad under a very good manager and again 13 million that's just a great bargain yeah you just don't see that in today's uh World football with a player that has obviously pedigree at the internet National level and has has performed went healthy at the club level let's wrap this thing up with Scott Momin he's leaving United he's going to Napoli um Stevie is this the right move for him that we're discussing the Tom is also interesting to me but you know your thoughts uh I think he's a great move for him um you talk about underappreciated Manchester United the amount of times this guys come on or or saved them in in in tough situations he's always given every single thing he's got a big heart he'll run all day and he's gone not only to a big Club but he's gone to the perfect manager that suits what McMan is all about and what cont is looking for you know he's looking for guys in the middle that get around he's looking for them to get in the Box he's hoping to get goals goals as well and mctom he supplies all of these things no he's not the Superstar because he hasn't done it consistently at Manchester United but maybe when he goes to anapoli side that is going to be built to to to be about all the things that his best attributes are then I think it's absolutely perfect and I think the most important part of it is the manager I think if anybody's a Conte player it's Scott Momin yep I totally agree I mean it's a good move for everybody maybe Manchester United lose the one out of anybody because you know that even though they're replacing him with Manuel Ugarte they had to pay a pretty penny for him as well but this I agree that this is a Scott Momin is so underappreciated he is such a warrior like and I wish he would have probably been more highlighted not just with United but somewhere in the Premier League he started only 18 matches for United last season he still scored seven goals he was a pivotal reason why United won the FA Cup in the first place like and he gives it his absolute all and now like Stevie said he goes to a manager that's going to be so great for him he goes to a great passionate Club he goes to a good league and because Napoli don't have Europe this season again just like I was talking about federo kza he's gonna be able to just really focus on the league focus on his game help Scotland in the future as well I mean I'm happy for him and I'm happy that he's working under Antonio Conte because obviously Conte has Ambitions of his own as he returns to S so I think this is great and United get who and need ug they need that so I think it's a win pretty much for everybody I just want to emphasize once again and Echo what Stevie said which is like Scott Momin is an absolute Warrior and I wish him nothing but the best he never complains he just gets on with it and most likely than not he always gives you what you need can I just can I just say one last point I am so glad that he will not be coming off the bench this weekend United I think you're I am so glad Scott mcom is not coming on for the last 10 minutes and scoring either the winner or equalizer I think I think you're winning anyway the only play you need to worry about is I thinko is the only last year look what happened true it's early too should be a good one [Music]
