And you are?
No but I know enough about football to know Palmer will find another club easily.
If they agreed with you they would accept the City offer.

I never know what is sarcasm on here!
Fair enough. Just saw it and relayed it for any views.

I hope we sign someone soon, so we can moan about that.

Got to love big John H. Fair play to whoever runs it, solid 10+ years they’ve stuck at it.

Surely got to better than Palmer though?

Not for me. A worse O’Hare and not at all what we need. Would be disappointed.

His agent wasn’t exactly subtle in putting the Norwich rumour around in January as a way of gauging interest and trying to get more money on his contract.
Think his best chance of a payday is if Celtic or Rangers came in for him, would suit him very well.

If Palmer were to go any payment would be a real bonus, if we are going to play two up front then he has no space and would be an expensive sub.
I agree it’s very unfashionable but it might suit the players we currently have ….

I don’t really understand the Palmer dislike or willingness to just rid of him.
7 assists and 4 goals this season is not a bad return.
I agree we need to strengthen in midfield and I would like to think when all fit he isn’t in the starting 11, footballs a squad game and Palmer had his best season for us, he’s a good squad player who’s had a good season, he offers something different from an average number 10, creates for others, strong and a threat from free kicks.
I suspect Palmer playing above O’Hare was Robins proving a point.

not sure his role justifies his wage at that point though.
They will have been talking to clubs for months now.
The contract expiry date is little more than symbolic these days. Deals can be confirmed and announced ahead of the existing contract expiring but they can’t take effect until after it has expired.
I think it’s pretty poor for a 10 to be honest.
Palmer doesn’t offer too much defensively so his attacking contribution is really his main reason for being in the team.

If we went back to the last time we were in the championship Palmer would have been seen very differently, Im pretty sure most if not all fans would love him because he puts it all out there until he cant anymore and he does work hard, to me his only issue is consistency, but thats why he’s here and not made the Premier League. But from his performance against Wolves against seasoned Premier League footballers he looked really good so who’s to say he cant get there one day

June 30th normally
That’s when they actually expire. I think you can start discussing and sign a pre contract a month before
I believe it can only actually be confirmed prior to a month before if the club have released the player. In these 2 cases of Browne and Ohare, this has not happened
We need to keep the ball better next year, he loses the ball a lot trying a flick or a through ball.
That being said, when it does work, it’s quality. Deffo need a player like that but not as a starter.
Contract is up at the end of the year and doubt he will be renewing so if someone comes in with an offer, he is gone.

It depends on the wage, of course, if we could get better for less then great.
He’s done enough for an extension, for me. He has a resale value and would interest some I am sure, has had some great games this season.
