Why? Im just making a point thats all. In a forum. No more, no less.
As i just said i find it all abit strange. Lad has been fit and ready to play since the turn of the year. I figured he would go out on loan in january ... that wasnt the case so i expected him to be used abit more. As others have said ... he has qualities. I just dont understand why he was brought in.
He's primarily the back up right winger, I know he can play a few other positions but that's his main role. Mo is having a very good season, statistically one of the best ever for goal involvements in PL history (potentially the best). Mo likes to play every minute so Chiesa does not get on the pitch much.
Maybe next year, if Chiesa stays, he'll get more minutes. Mo will be getting older and might need a bit more rest. Next season we might have more games in the cup competitions. Also, bluntly, Mo has now signed his contract. Arne will be able to sub him off without everyone worrying about the impact on contract negotiations.
If we'd sent Chiesa out on loan in January and Mo had done his hamstring in February you'd be first in the queue for the meltdown. FSG incompetence, robbing the club, etc
