We probably knew that people like Kelly and Webster were off. Palmer was a fan's favourite and signing him would help ease fan concerns and help ST sales. If this is anyway true we really are clueless 3 1/2 million on some PR exercise ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's not true, I also think Palmer is a good player. I think there would be a temptation to bring him in to appease fans, there's history with that (Tomlin).. going further back marquee signings like David James and Marcus Stewart etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You missed out that there is no space beteween the two names either. It's a forum handle, not my actual name. Nice try though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead he’s here, where we hoof it and rely heavily on counter attacks. He will never fit in and flourish under the current set up, so a complete waste of talent and wage. Bet he would look good in that Leeds team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I had £1m in my memory for him, but after a quick google it does seem to be recorded as £0.5m - maybe I’m getting confused with Thorpe and others from that some period.

Likewise, I believe this formation also gets the best out of Massengo. We moved away from this formation when Afobe got injured, imo the business we did in January is looking to move back towards that formation at some point. Accusations that he is lazy are misinformed - Positional sense is suspect and he definitely tackles like a forward, but he still chases back and attempts to press. The lad has only just turned 23, (could also be mentally suffering after his close mate lost a young child) but lets write him off entirely. Well said... One of the reasons we look so shaky defending a lead with 15 mins to go, is that most of our players take to just punting a clearance into the opposition half to nobody in particular, which then results in the opposition coming right back at us as we sit deeper and deeper. At least KP always tries to retain possession and pass to a teammate (doesn't always come off granted), but that is so much better than the schoolboy defending described above. I'd like to see KP get more game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 I keep using these as a source for information recently, you'd think they were paying me, but I was surprised to see Whoscored actually have one of Palmers strengths down as having a good defensive contribution, they list one of his weaknesses as 'holding onto the ball' https://www.whoscored.com/Players/315544/Show/Kasey-Palmer I quite like Palmer, I hope we persevere with him. His style of play doesn't really compliment a player like Diedhiou, which is why I found it strange we bought both of them on at Leeds. If at any point in the near future Fam loses a bit of form, I'd really like to see him come into the team & see if he can build a similar partnership with Wells, like he did with Afobe.
