Man...has to be short memory.
Bernadeschi at Fio was waaaaay more impressive than chiesa. He was more versatile playing RWB in the 3-x-x formation initially. Played winger, wide midfielder, and AM. More dynamic on the ball. Better dribbling. Better shot. Better vision and delivery of "key passes". Better free kick taker. I mean, it's not even close and he went for 40mil.

I'll say that chiesa is just a faster player, has 2 feet, and is more direct..
I disagree that Bernadeschi is more dynamic on the ball, I think that’s kind of what chiesa’s whole game is built around. Bernadeschi playing as a wingback in a 3-5-2 was some weird shit Sousa cooked up. Never looked overly comfortable there despite a few good Europa league moments. I do agree he is more versatile though, don’t think Chiesa could interpret the AM role as well as Bernadeschi.
If I want a winger I’m going for Chiesa though. Pace makes a hell of a difference in this game, especially when you know how to use it effectively. Bernadeschi uses his trickery to get out of tight spaces, but Chiesa can roast you and create a shooting opportunity. He also plays with an edge I just don’t see in Bernadeschi. Also I think the age thing is important. 20 vs 22 is a world of difference. Look at 20 year old Icardi in his first season at inter versus 22 year old Icardi who is capo.
