I didn't say he won't compete for AMC but he's certainly no natural there. He's patently a wide man and most of his game is taking men on and getting a cross in. He can do that a bit at AMC, but it's hardly "central" to the role (ho-ho). It's a puzzling signing to a degree, but it seems that we spotted a gem and thought "get him in and sort out what to do with him later". We might play wingers soon, who knows!
I think it would be good sense on the player's part and could easily have a gentleman's agreement as with Gyo if he really wants out in the summer.
It’s all personal opinion but I think Palmer is worth way more than £750K, I know there’s probably more to come from the likes of Simms and MVE etc but in terms of going forward Palmer was the only one trying to create anything in the last game. I realise his end product isn’t great but I felt that no one else in that game was making decent runs or trying to get into positions for him to lay the ball off so he almost had no choice but to take the shots on himself.
O’Hare made more assists in the league than Palmer last season, despite playing about 20 fewer games.
Get yourself up to Ryton and tell him to his face that he's signed a wrong un.
Not what I was saying at all, I’m saying Robins will have a plan for him and since MVE looks like he’ll be our first choice at RWB that plan surely involves plenty of playing time in attacking midfield.
I get that but MR did say a few weeks ago there was to be no more round pegs in square holes.
My gut feeling would be any fee offered is similar to what we paid. Not anywhere near 10m for example.
We can do better than McCallum was a good lad here, but Norwich haven’t been the best the last two seasons and McCallum has not exactly been pulling up trees there has had at leat two managers as well.
He doesn’t have “favourites”, he may though appreciate more than a fan a quality a player has in a functioning team
Someone with more time than me will work it out, but my guess would be around 10%. Something like 5 full 90s in 55ish games.
He’s played the full 90 minutes on eight occasions since joining us in all competitions - that’s 22% of his games for us, and 14% of our total games since he joined.
I'm no doubt over reacting but this sort of thing annoys me. The Norwich reply says there is NO interest, so presume agent is BS rather than having some insider knowledge. But it don't end there ... there's still a potential knock on effect of uncertainty, destablisation, dressing room moans over wages, generating interest from other parties. Obviously goes on but I'd love one of these agents (or their sources) to have their arses sued by the club for creating a falsehood.
Never going to happen because players would end up being majorly pissed off. It makes me laugh that people actually think players don't instruct their agents to do this kind of stuff and it's all down to the big bad agents.
He played 90 mins 6 times last season in Champ and so far only Leicester this season. Made around 29 appearances in total in the league.
Have zero proof Palmer has asked him to do it though. Dangerous game to just assume and have a go at him isn't it?
Where have I had a go at him?
I'm not saying you did. I'm just saying as fans we can't assume he's asked for this to happen that's all. Were in the dark as obsessed as we are.
Yes absolutely get that mate, it's playing the game. Though if I was Norwich I'd consider taking Palmer to task via his agent IF there's nothing in it.
