PROFILE
Gabriel Paletta is only the second player from Argentina to play for Liverpool and
the young centre half arrives in England as a blossoming talent for the future.
Signed from Banfield, the transfer was sealed in July 2006 in time for Paletta to
join in pre-season training at Melwood.
He is highly rated, so much so River Plate manager Daniel Passarella, who was
captain of the Argentina side that won the 1978 World Cup, and a former central defender
himself, rates Paletta as one of the best of his type in Argentina.
Paletta first came to prominence in 2005. At the start of the year he was still yet
to make his first team debut with Banfield, but when he finally got his chance he
impressed.
When Banfield qualified for the knockout stages of the Copa Libertadores they
changed their 25 man squad for the event to include Paletta and immediately threw him into
action against the Colombian team Independiente Medellin. Paletta played well and Banfield
progressed, but Paletta was to play no further part in the tournament after being called
up to the Argentinian under-20 team to contest the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship.
Paletta started all seven games playing in the heart of the Argentine defence.
Argentina, inspired by Barcelona ace Lionel Messi went on to win the tournament and
Paletta's performances brought him to the attention of Liverpool.
Paletta had a good 2005/06 season for the Buenos Aires based team, making 30
appearances and scoring two goals.

Notes:
Liverpool made the Emiliano Insua loan a permanent one (Ј1.2m), in exchange of 50%
ownership of Paletta to Boca. Boca will have to split 50-50 with Liverpool off any future
transfer for him and Liverpool have a buy-back option.
