What's new

Marco Palestra

Reports in Italy saying he's accepted terms, no major outlet reporting that yet.

Apparently 150kpw.....

Looks like wingbacks it is.


 
So is he THE 21 year old that will save the club?

 
Isn’t he a RWB? €60m for a Serie A wingback who has just completed his first full season, out on loan away from his parent club.

Gusto has been linked with City; but if he is meant to be his replacement, surely there are PL RBs with more experience. Also calls into question the new deal for James if he can’t be our first choice RB. You are not paying €60m for a 21yr old player to be depth.

Especially if this is a player specifically requested by Alonso. Can only mean we are playing with wingbacks.

James New CB Colwill​
Palestra Caicedo New CM Hato/????​

Serie A talents scare me because the quality of the league is so poor. We have Guéla Doué at Strasbourg who has been brilliant, Neco Williams who has been very good the last few seasons and can play both wings which seems to be Palestra’s unique selling point. Just feels like another project signing.

 
Feels like the Madueke - Garnacho/Gittens move, where the club has invested years in Gusto’s development and then moved him on for another project one.

Project signings are not bad if you are signing the cream of the crop.

always felt uneasy with Gusto, apart from his early games.

Serie A defender of the year to be fair.

The possibility of also giving Gusto to City is making it a lot better.

 
And?

Precisely. It’s like when Kvaratskhelia was tearing up Serie A (WeAk LeAgUe) and we could have gone for him, ends up with two Champions league titles, and is arguably amongst the top 5 players in world football. Not to say, this guy is anywhere near that talent, but he’s an Italian youth playing where he was born, it is what it is. Least it’s not Bundesliga tax, we’ve had far more trouble with that.
