I don't think you've ever asked me.

I don't know what Palmer is worth, but I certainly wouldn't have sold Hamer for £5m and Hyam for £100k like you would have.
Are you going to answer or not? You must have a figure you’d sell him for.

So what’s he worth? You think nothing?

If we sold Palmer now I’d guess we’d get 1.5m/2m. This is mainly an educated guess

for a 27 year old in November whose still not made 100 league starts in his career?

More like how Hamer isn’t worth £5m and would never go to a Prem club.

He went to a club promoted into the premiership

As I say, educated guess. Unless you’re scoring or assisting tons of goals or a player like Alex Scott who’s really young and seen as a top prospect, that’s about the going rate I’d guess for a championship player that’s good but not a standout

Dont get this hate for Palmer thought he had a cracking first half, that backflick was the best measured pass in the whole game.

To be fair it's only really a couple of people, and they haven't have liked him from the start.

I think the vast majority would agree he's a good (not great) player and would say he had a good game yesterday.

Some drongo gave him a 4 in the ratings really?
We had 4/5 shots on target in the first half 3 came from his passes or crosses.
I know it's an opinion but I thought he was our biggest threat in the first half.

Some idiot wanted rid of Robins and a shite manager put in his place. Why are you surprised?

He's such a frustrating player, a great turn on the edge of the box then a rash effort that flies over the bar. That brilliant run and body swerve and then passes it to the keeper.

That run was the absolute epitome of Palmer. A brilliant bit of skill but then opposition players just kept moving out of the way in front of him. I think he was surprised when the keeper didn’t do the same

Alot of English football fans don't like flair though. See it as a fancy foreigners thing.

442 mike basset and all that. Would rather cheer a hard tackle than a rainbow flick etc

Not all fans obviously but alot of the older generation imo

Nice generalisation. I would say past players felt far more comfortable expressing themselves than in the modern game where they are scared shitless of making a mistake. Like bloody chess. I crave more of the kind of stuff we see from Palmer.

Better than 987 passes, 80% possession and no shots on target

I think the relative lack of out-and-out flair players who we’ve seen here over recent years is one of the reasons Palmer has such a good rep among our fans.

It’s like any brilliance isn’t it? Not quite trusted, all a bit show off. I remember people whining about Hamers “Hollywood balls” as well.

Not really and there’s a myth about older generation football - it had far more maverick players than we have now.

In terms of goals and entertainment our best season was in the 70’s when we virtually abandoned defending.

We had two wingers and two full backs who frequently overlapped and we scored 80 goals in a season

That last point is the most annoying part of modern football. This obsession with not shooting until it’s basically a tap in, Ben Chilwell took it to another level on Friday.
