Paletta article in Daily Mail

[Ed the Wool]

He's the real deal from what I saw at Wrexham. Looked capable of 1st team action, so ahead of Agger I reckon.

[mercury]

They came to beat the redmen,

With pace and flair and skill,

But wished they'd stayed at home instead,

When they saw the mighty Drill,

 

Now stretchers are in high demand,

The magic sponge as well

That hard as nails young Argie lad,

Makes hardened strikers yell,

 

Our strikers are a tough bunch,

Our midfield aint too shabby,

But get through them and still you'll need,

to get past Driller Gabby,

 

So Frankie watch those anklebreakers

Lucas more care please take,

Or next time that you hear a crunch,

It's your leg that will break

Excellent

Now you just need to come up with a song and presto...

It will be great to have a hard b*****d Argie defender type and Paletta has a great reputation as a fine youth prospect.

 

One word of caution I believe Josemi put in some equally fierce and impressive tackles in his first pre season particularly against Roma(i think).

he looked fkin good before - solid as f***.. i'm normally a bit sceptical about going overboard on young players just coming through (or having just come in with a reputation) but this kid looks the real deal - he looks 'ready' already, as bizarre a statement as they may seem.. i reckon he'll break through this season..

[Maldini]

He's really impressed me, looks a great defender. Can't remember the last 20-year-old CB I saw who looked as assured as him.

 

Suppose the standard isn't that high but still, great start for him.

Agree, he does look the biz so far. Also noticed he's vocal too, helping organise the defence - think his english will soon improve!

 

Love his long locks too - proper Argie hair that is

[Cisse]

Could he be cover for Finnan as well maybe as well as Carra/Sami

[Internationinteroperability]

Does anyone have a clip of the tackle on Billy Jones?

 

Could only find this clip, but surely that ain't it...?

that isn't the one mate.

 

Really growing fond of Paletta. He's a fecking tank.

hahaha

 

dazzla, you kill me dude.

[growler]

I think he'll play before Agger myself. Can see him finishing the season at the back with Carra.

Saturday night fantasies are great

[Rimbeux]

Agger has looked quite capable in the first team so far, imo.

 

aye, was immediately impressed

[CaptainXabi]

Agger and Paletta together could be something special for years to come.
