    It’s done. Nice to see the club backing Xabi and getting his targets.

  3. > Chelsea’s move for Atalanta defender Marco Palestra is advancing at a rapid pace with the two clubs expected to reach an agreement within the next 24 hours.

    > Palestra is a wing back who can play both sides and centrally, with his versatility making him a good fit for new manager Xabi Alonso’s system.

    Great deal. Versatile modern fb who offers a lot going forward and in defense. 

    Day 1 starter either in the right or left. 

    I can see the team xabi wants to build

  5. If he’s best on the right, any idea on what that means for Gusto/Neto/Quenda? 

  6. Wow, this is quite an unexpected Orny bomba – don’t know much about Palestra, but if Xabi wants him, then hell yeah.

  7. I didn’t believe the other four posts about this exact thing but seeing your potato quality photo has swung it for me.
