Nunes would be in trouble if we sign him though imo

Definitely, but one thing we lack right now I feel is proper competition for places that elevates the overall level as a result. Palestra would be an incredible addition to enhance that level of competition.

Would he ?, know nothing about Palestra but Nunes is excellent at joining the 2 centre backs to make a back 3 in possesion, Pep used it a few times, its a very Maresca tactic. Is Palestra that type of fullback ?

Absolutely mate!!! More natural at it than Nunes even though he had improved, I can’t help thinking Pep was still having to work overtime with him? Not sure Maresca will want to to be honest

Will watch later, but lots of thes videos show defenders with the ball and not their off the ball covering and defending, maybe if anyone has watched him in games, they’d know?

There is defending in this video mate and he won the Seria A defender of the season at only 21 as well?

Italian press report that he wants to remain in Italy but to play in the Champions League: with Internazionale. Atalanta rejected Internazionale’s opening offer, and while Newcastle were reportedly willing to pay the €50 million Atalanta desires, the player is uninterested in moving.
Mentioned earlier that he’s from Milan and was on their books, so with Dumfries moving, it’s probably only a matter now of the clubs agreeing a price.

I don’t think so. Koeman has left Read and Smit at home because they’ve both gone completely off the boil and suffered injury setbacks. The idea of lavishing €20+ million on an unproven and unfit player is just not credible, to me. For a bit of perspective, Read wasn’t even in the Feyenoord squad when we drew 3-3 in 24-25, and while he’s had good moments, the injuries in a much less demanding league should have us putting the cheque book back in the drawer and locking it, firmly.
Signing someone more experienced or giving Reis game time are more sensible alternatives.
we might
its really a toss up, depends on what Maresca wants at this point
Read screams modern elite full-back, has eveything to succeed tbh, he's only weakness, from the looks of this season, is injuries, he missed 28 games this/last season
Palestra is more like safe choice, decent further up the pitch, is ok inverting, good defender, there is a lot to like, also will he stay long-term, he may get home sick as other Italians in prem
Gusto seems like right choice, Maresca knows him and what he can do, so seems like safe choice also, now it depends if Chelsea will allow for him to leave, price most likely will be up compared to other options, also there has been 0 links
Kayode is a wild card, sure he has PL experience, but he's attacking and inverting is a big question mark

Nunes should be Right- back. In the dressing room.

Would Chelsea sell Gusto?
After watching doku dismantle him recently I’m glad he’s gone on the back burner
I think yea, Acheampeong has been asking for more minutes
he was my favourite around january/february
he is primary more of defender, but is very decent distrubuting and inverting
sadly there has been no links to him
apparently he wants only Inter
