Rodrigo Palacio

Rodrigo Palacio always read to me as the embodiment of the hard-working second striker rather than a glamour signing. At 175 cm he was never going to overpower defenders, so he won games through movement, instinct, and relentless effort, most memorably at Inter. Coming from a footballing family in Bahia Blanca, with a father who was a club legend, he carried the game in his blood. His Spanish passport and shrewd move to Europe show a player who understood the business too. I have a soft spot for grafters like him.
