We asked for your views on where Chelsea need to strengthen their squad, after the Blues signed right-back Marco Palestra.
Here are some of your comments:
Damien: I think it’s a decent signing in an area of the pitch that we are ever weakening in. Obviously the Premier League is definitely not Serie A, but he has qualities that can translate. I think we need to be looking at a goalscoring centre-forward to help Joao Pedro out this season, as our other options up top don’t seem to be up to much.
Paul: Palestra is another youngster – where is the experienced players we need so badly, those who have played in the Premier League?
Stevie: Exciting prospect but now we need experience. We need a decent centre-back to pair with Levi Colwill, we need a good left-back and then it just depends on what formation Xabi Alonso wants to play.
Mike: Palestra is a decent signing for sure. Next up must surely be a goalkeeper, Xhaka, and a centre-back with experience. But with Alonso now the boss I’m excited again; something I’ve not been for quite a while now.
Boycie: The priority now is surely a goalkeeper and a striker. I for one don’t want to see Xhaka at the Bridge! He’s always a red card waiting to happen and we need to improve our dreadful disciplinary record not add to it!
Conor: Two words – Maxence Lacroix.
