Dynamite Red Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Pretty sure it was mentioned we can terminate the loan deal in January. Surely we would take that up if we have the option and move on. Maybe look at him in the Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would imagine Stoke would be happy to let it run to the summer and City continue to subsidise wages for a player who is not gonna get many games in.

I must do better. ( I won't say the correct year just in case it encourages more pendantary!) All joking (and pendants, we mustn't forget the pendants) aside has anyone got any updates on him? Paul Cheesley is going well and could be at the next home game! Pedantry rules ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 This from Palmer's instagram. Afobe out of the brace, off crutches, and messing about playing football with what looks like a ball pit ball. Positive news I guess? As an aside - good to see him smiling.

Imagine a fully fit Afobe upfront with Nketiah with Palmer just behind Exactly what I was thinking, though having the feeling that the Nketiah deal may have died. We also need to be there or thereabouts heading towards the end of the season and some arses are going to have to be kicked to make that happen.

Meh Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 What I loved about the video and a couple of pictures I saw is how happy he and his wife appeared. Very brave people to be able to try and push on. They must be so mentally strong and can’t respect them enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 children myself and could never imagine the pain they have both gone through and personally I don't think I could ever find myself in a happy place again. Just goes to show the mental strength and attitude of the man which is part of the reason he slotted in so well here. Would love to see Benik in a city shirt again, what a truly unbelievable and inspiring man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcofisher Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 Can't really see him being much impact on our season, he won't be match fit in time to have any real impact. That type of injury takes about 8-9 months to heal and then he has to build up match fitness. We need to replace him rather than banking on him being our saviour in the run in.

The two of them, Palmer and his girlfriend, all having lunch together and their kids playing together. And some people had the balls to say Palmer had a stinking attitude, was disruptive, bad lifestyle etc etc......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
