Dan Robin Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 7 minutes ago, JoeAman08 said: Palmer is exactly what we need. He can unlock a defence with a pass which we currently do not have(maybe Pack but not near Palmer). When teams sit back against us, which many do now, we need him to make plays. His pass to Weimann against SU this season is what convinced me. No one else in the squad can make that pass Yes, when he did his best he was a good weapon...but sometimes he lost himself in his tricks too. He didn't play much last season, so it's difficult to judge him yet...but I got the impression of a talented but inconsistent player: maybe just a matter of physical form, maybe not. That's why I thought it would have been more important to bring back Kalas and Dasilva than Palmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDOXO Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Just now, YorkshireSection said: How do you mean? What we know is several of our players have been watched and have attracted ‘enquiries’ Brownhill, Odowda Webster are obvious, Diehdou Baker possibly among those add Vyner O’Leary Walsh and another half a dozen loans that are coming off or already done. The way we play may alter and offers for Patterson are not out of the question. We have done well but right now who knows what is going to happen and how LJ lines us up next season. What offers/Enquiries have we had that are not in the press. City are very good at keeping it in house these days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we talking about the same Patto that LJ finds it very hard to drop despite some very average form, sorry but I don't see it, as much as I'd like to be proved wrong I just don't see it.

Guest Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 7 minutes ago, kelbcfc said: Agreed with this. I reckon that if Kasey comes in it could be the end of Pato LJ loves Pato. I think the problem has been that Pato likes a load of ballers around him and movement. He is consistent when playing in the right system. Season before he was superb with Reid. Same thing can be said about Palmer. No good with Fam in front of him. Nketiah in front of him might see a very different player in Palmer, and Pato.

That's why I thought it would have been more important to bring back Kalas and Dasilva than Palmer. I get you. Just think a driving and creating player is necessary. Most of the top 6 last season had that player imo. Sheff U the exception probably. The other teams however had a clever creative footballer. Buendia at Norwich. Mount at Derby. Grealish at Villa. Barnes at WBA who struggled when he went back. Hernandez at Leeds. Boro did not have that player and we had the unfit probably a bit lacking in confidence Palmer. Palmer has that ability. Showed it at Huddersfield when they were promoted. Lost his way a bit with injury and playing out of position. For the cost of 3-4m I feel definitely worth the “risk.” Also don’t like everyone saying he doesn’t have the work rate or he doesn’t want to be a footballer. I don’t see that at all. At least not in a Tomlin type way. He just needs to reign his game in a bit. Not lose the ball in dangerous areas. He isn’t a grafter but he will work out of possession.

Paterson as a '10' and in a technical/fluid/movement based system or the bench IMO. Could play as one of two '10' type players- something like a 4-3-2-1, maybe Weimann up front with the interchanging of him, Paterson, Palmer just for example.

True, but who would want Watkins? Possibly a League 1 or 2 club, but they probably couldn’t afford his wages, so City would have to pay him to leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless one considers him consistently poor! He is one of three or four who need to be moved out and replaced if we are to make a real go for promotion.
