Chelsea fans have had their say on Marco Palestra after agreeing a move to Stamford Bridge.
In a bid to please Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso, the owners appear to be trying to complete some business early ahead of his arrival on July 1st.
We’ve already got the likes of Geovany Quenda, Dastan Satpayev and Mike Penders entering the fold this summer, and there is likely to be plenty more.
One of those appears to be Marco Palestra, who has agreed on a six-year deal to join Chelsea for around £43 million, though that isn’t officially announced.
Chelsea fans are already excited about Marco Palestra
As we await the opening of the summer transfer window, Chelsea fans on Talking Points have been discussing the signing and assessing what the Italian may bring to Stamford Bridge.
It’s safe to say that all of the responses were positive, too.
The review of Marco Palestra
One supporter kicked us off with a 9/10.
‘I reckon a 9. Give him time to settle in.’
Another still demands more from Chelsea.
‘Still good but Chelsea should not relax on one signing.’
A third pointed out how he was given the Serie A defender of the year award.
‘I didn’t know he was defender of the year – that makes it an 8!’
One supporter has even taken a closer look at Palestra.
‘I’ve had half an eye on him for a few months and literally every pundit and coach in Italy has been raving about Palestra for ages. I get the feeling he’s the most hotly-tipped Italian of his generation Add in the fact Chelsea look set to snatch him from under inter’s nose, I’m giving this an 8/10.’
