Ahh the irony.
I see you brushed off the post in the Ayari thread that made you look an absolute tosser (again).
In your world it's perfectly acceptable to criticise Palmer, but absolute blasphemy to criticise Bidwell. Then you and Grendel complain about 'goodies v baddies'. It's very odd.

When COH returns, and with Tatsu as a back up, and Ayari being deployed as a ‘10’ rather than an ‘8’ already, would Palmer truly be missed?
Personally, despite being of the opinion that he’s a talented, technical player, his lack of actual assists, tracking back and his mediocre fitness (that prevent him from contributing consistently for more than an hour) don’t actually convince me that he’s an integral part of the first team.

I take your point, as ACM appears to be our best position for numbers (I see Sakamoto as as an ACM) but I’ve always rated Palmer so highly. I think every team would miss him.When COH returns, and with Tatsu as a back up, and Ayari being deployed as a ‘10’ rather than an ‘8’ already, would Palmer truly be missed?

You can give him the ball and he’ll look after it so much better than anyone else. He’s a class above.
His work rate is good as well. I’ve only seen him life a few times, but the Bristol City away game last year - he was the hardest working player (I know he could have had a point to prove).
The only criticism I feel you could justifiably lay against him is his injury / fitness record.

However, until the former regains fitness, (ditto Allen), and the latter 2 get up to speed I don't think it would make sense to let him go in this window.
Yes I think whatever he's worth to us right now is far more than anyone would be willing to pay, so I don't see him leaving.

That is just top bitching from a top bitch. Who backed Kenny Jacket over MR and also carped on about how we should not have sold JCH , who was rubbish for us and a LGE 1 striker at best. His stats are bolstered by penalties

I wouldn't want him to go. He fades badly in games, and you know he's gonna get injured missing large chunks of the season, but without him we're desperately short at 10. Who knows if O'Hare is gonna come back the player he was, and it'll be months before he's back upto speed in any event. The jury is still out on Tats (or even if he's a 10 in any case), and Allen isn't a regular in that position at Championship level in my opinion.

Ohare won’t be up to full fitness until Christmas
Who knows about Allen
Sakamoto is still unproven
Ayari could be brilliant but will take time to settle
Palmer simply has to stay (for now at least)

1) We don't know if COH will be the same player and if he is, it will take time to get up to pace.When COH returns, and with Tatsu as a back up, and Ayari being deployed as a ‘10’ rather than an ‘8’ already, would Palmer truly be missed?

2) Tatsu isn't really a AMC, we're shoe-horning him in there as he can do a job but is really a winger who can play WB.
3) Ayari clearly isn't a 10, MR needs to pick him alongside Sheaf with licence.
He's our best player for that role at the moment, we'd be mad to get rid given the churn. But some people have never liked him and are desperate to get rid. I'd rather reduce change for the sake of it, we've transformed the squad enough.

Similar to me. I also think, as evidenced very clearly in 3 of the 4 opening games, that his lack of stamina creates a massive gap in our midfield that opposition teams get at, particularly in the second half of matches as he tires.When COH returns, and with Tatsu as a back up, and Ayari being deployed as a ‘10’ rather than an ‘8’ already, would Palmer truly be missed?

Opponents do have more space on the edge of the area that they never have as much with let's say allen or O hare on the pitch , simply because they both drop deeper almost into a 3 .
I like kasey but I can definitely see the argument that he leaves us more vulnerable ... he'd ideally be best as an impact sub

Don't disagree, but given his rumoured wages he's a very expensive impact sub.

Tough one. Earlier in the window and I'd be happy letting him go for a couple of million. If we had Allen and O'Hare fit its an easier decision too.

Or as one of two 10's behind a ST. Especially if one of them is COH. Probably going to be a rare sight with the amount we've spent on strikers!

Was good though, wasn't it? Can't exactly say he has no visible technique when he's pulled that off in recent memory.

My fear with him is that its either gonna take him a while to get back to where he was, or he may never get back to where he was. Only encouraging thing is that with Jodi Jones it looks like he's gradually getting back to where he was before his injuries.
Definitely, going to take him a while though isn't it. Few minutes off the bench here and there to start with, slowly building it up.
Hopefully we'll see him able to start before the end of the year.

Surely we were at least as vulnerable towards the end of the game on Saturday (after Palmer went off) as we had been at any previous stage of the match?

Though some of that was due to the lack of workrate in his replacement and us pushing for a winner, whereas my comparison was more against O'Hare

And also I think the reason Sheaf/Eccles seemed to tire more v Sunderland.
It's a real dilemma for me as he's such an exciting player (the dummy to throw the last defender on his run from the touchline really was sublime), but if Robins is going to play 2 up top, I feel he does leave us exposed out of possession.
Also, had a quick look on Transfermarkt and think he only played the full match in a winning side once last season and only scored 1 meaningful goal. Only 6 x 90 mins in 22 starts and his track record indicates that's fairly typical

I’m sorry but IMO Palmer is not worth anymore than £750k
He is too injury prone to be worth anymore than that. Has some nice touches but not a reliable player that’s gunna play 40 matches a season.
Over the last few years his career has been start stop, you can see there’s something there but it’s not firing all cylinders

I am very much looking forward to seeing him come back, I really hope we don’t have another Jodi Jones on our hands cause he’s such a talent.
He’s so electrifying, I just hope he can start to add Goals and Assists to his game because that’s where Palmer has one over on him currently.

I struggle to believe Robins has sanctioned an almost £2m signing on a player who doesn’t fit our system and will be “shoehorned” into either attacking midfield or a wingback. He’s clearly going to compete to start in one of those spots.

If Callum does add goals to he's game, then that's another 20+ million in the bank.

I'm not so sure Palmer does have one over Cal in those areas.
O'Hare actually got more assists in the league than him last season according to transfermarkt, and it's not as if Palmer scored a load either
