Cardy Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Well his Twitter profile still has both photos in his City kit. That would be weird in this day & age if he wasn’t always coming back. Plus there were the ‘See you soon’ messages to Dasilva & Kallas. I would be shocked if this isn’t already a done deal pending Lampard letting him go.

He was getting 15 mins at best last season towards the end - often when we were chasing a game. Do we have a plan? Because he has potential to get 10-12 goals from a deep position. It’s an area we lack. Goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmer - Champ only - 68 apps of the equivalent of 32 (90 min) matches, 9 goals, 5 assists (equates to a 13 goal / 7 assist season) Pato - Champ only - 192 apps of the equivalent of 128 (90 min) matches, 29 goals, 29 assists (equates to 10g / 10a) So not a lot in it in fairness. Just play them both 4321 - Back 4 plus O’Dowda | Pack | Brownhill Paterson | Palmer (Szmodics to rotate with both) Weimann (or new striker) Play narrow, but full-backs advanced in opposition half...Pack can sit-in til his hearts content.

BCFC Rich Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Ultimately if the fee being talked about is correct and we can get him I think we will. The potential return makes sense on a business level and like it or not buying and selling at profit are part of our strategy. One decent season and he'll be three time that. He could be a bit part/impact player and like Taylor etc and we'd still probably recoup the tranfer fee if we sold him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewquayRed Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 If this deal is about to happen why given that we should have plenty in the pot still has it taken soooo long, didn’t set the world alight last year and without a pre season behind him with the squad is IMO unlikely too.

Br1stolCityBoy Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 Sky Sports thinks he's coming to us. They just had a talk about him on Transfer Talk.

Yes, I believe that their owners have undertaken a major cost cutting exercise so I doubt their new HC will get all of the McBurnie money. I still don't see Palmer coming here, he wanted to see if he had a chance at FLC and I understand why, but time has moved on and I would be surprised if we were actually in for him, notwithstanding MA's comments on Monday.

Pezo Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 I can't figure out if this is permanent/loan, money involved. As far as I can tell there is just too little information for this to be happening - hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Hucker Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 I believe that the reason that LJ wanted Kasey here for the full preseason was yes of course to try to improve his fitness/stamina but so that the team shape could be fashioned around him. The problem that LJ had with Kasey last season was that he had to try to fit him into the established shape which was serving us pretty well - especially away from home. Thus when Kasey started matches, we seldom saw the very best of him and instead he became preferred by LJ as a game changer from the bench. If he signs it’ll be as a regular starter, I’m sure but that will mean adapting our team shape to put Kasey at its heart. It may therefore that we won’t appear particularly slick from the start of the season until the coaching team can instill new patterns of play but I’m convinced that LJ sees Kasey as the kingpin of our team around which everything will revolve (with Szmodics as his backup).

The same source as the Morrell rumour which I posted in May told me this was a done deal. Unsure why the BS this time round but perhaps they weren't too happy about me posting it on here. God knows. Anyway I can only apologise to anyone who had their hopes up due to my posts and I'll make sure I'm a bit more wary in the future. Looks like he's finally signing and my source hangs on by the skin of their teeth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
