I had this chat with a friend earlier this week. 

 

Did anyone see anything from his loan spell to think he was worth spending a rumoured £3m/£4m and sizable wages on? 

 

A total head scratch signing for me. 

I thought at the time it was a weird one. I think he had a relatively poor loan spell

Almost like we needed to take him, to put the Kalas + Dasilva moves through.

[RedEyez]

He’s finished here, unfortunately, as I thought he could’ve been real good for us. Wasn’t to be.

I guess I am in the minority here but I firmly believed the way forward was with KP45, with Afobe in tandem. While I would admit he's lost his way since, there is so much talent in abundance just simply going to waste.

He has to look at himself but I also think it's up to the coaches to find the key to unlock the undoubted potential & get the best out of each & every player in the squad and that includes KP45.

 

 

If Kasey fancies joining Benik at Millwall, then we say au revoir and we wish him well. But he get himself there.

[nickolas]

Hes just not very good. Or perhaps not good enough at being willing enough to put a shift in. 
Too many managers have treated him the same now so cant be a coincidence!

Definitely some truth in that, but KP is now on his 63rd manager who’s not yet worked it out!!

they obviously saw something in him, even if it was only five managers…

Indeed.  He can do things most other players can’t, but over a period of time you can see how decision making let’s him down.

[maxjak]

Don't worry KP will thrive and find his true level once he signs for  IPSWICH..........

You jest. But i believe L1 is probably his level. 
Apart from his silly high wages for no good reason!

[Rocking Red Cyril]

Yrs he needs to go. But without a loss hopefully

Get that in relative terms, all 3 probably failed to deliver on their talent, but in absolute terms Jacki was streets ahead of the other two. A proven international player, the other two, not so much. Even though Jacki’s best days were behind him when he got to City, at least it was tier 2 vs JET tier 3 and KP failing to deliver at all.

International player yes but it was Poland mate when they were absolutely dog back then,we can only judge it when it comes to playing for city and he wasn’t all that

I’m not gonna reinvest history, I thought there was merits in signing him…

….but not after we’d gone and signed Szmodics and not for the money we paid (either fee or wages).

But I also expected a professional head-coach to have a plan for a player you spend that much on.  He never did though.

19 months (expires 30th June 2023)

That really was the summer where it all unravelled. Terrible decision after terrible decision.

He doesn't have the skills.

I'm tired of people saying it.

He's shite.

Agree. Palmer has technical ability, but there are lots of other skills required to be an effective and successful footballer, many of which Palmer appears to be lacking.

It's not the case that he's simply a brilliant footballer who is too lazy (as many would have you believe).

Mark Ashton.

End of Story. 

Spent money for the sake of it to benefit his agent connections.

[SuperDziek]

Maybe a loan to Sunderland in Jan to be reunited with LJ. 
 

Or to MAITFC to be reunited with The Ego.

Yep, seems to be a waste of space just now. Has the ability but not the aptitude. He can go and shag someone else's Mrs. 

The lady would be gutted, I doubt he would put in a full performance 

[Unan]

Think he’s also split with his partner & mother of his 2 children. She’s deleted all trace of him from her social accounts. Tough year for him. Have to remember he’s still young.

So not doing the business there either ?

[Ivorguy]

As has been said by a professional commentator, the problem with Jacki was he was too good for those playing alongside him

Didn’t they have a kid relatively recently as well or am I making that up?

I’d heard this too.  No idea if true.

[LoyalRed]

Pure talent - wasted talent unfortunately, I hope he can get back in the team as can be quality. 

[1960maaan]

Fevs nailed it by saying that the coach should have a plan. Johnson was like the bloke in Little Britain, I want that one. We had Szmodics, he'd had a good pre season the LJ said "I want that one" and I really believe it was just because Swansea showed interest. It worked at times, and when we had Afobe & Weimann it looked really promising . OK, we lost Afobe, but you find a replacement and if you can't you change focus. Not sure we did either. It comes down to focus, I would have kept KP in, played runners and given him movement ahead of him and I honestly think he'd shine. That said, I don't think he's helped himself. We was given praise for asking to play for the U23's, then wandered around looking like he thought he was above it all.
I have no doubt he is a very good player, but needs a team to suit his attributes . We ain't that team. His vision and passing is wasted with us, very little movement and very little control of the ball. We need workmen who will put in a shift, at one time I thought he was doing it, but obviously Pearson doesn't agree.

He went to the 86 World Cup finals with them and played in all their games, up to and including when knocked out by Brazil in the round of 16. Agree they weren’t amazing, but absolutely dog a bit harsh. Anyway, judging him purely on his City performances, in my view, miles ahead of the other two.

Palmer did well with Afobi. The rest of the time he doesn’t do enough to warrant a place in our u18s. 
 

it’s up to him. He has a contract. The club will give him away to get the wage off, but no one will pay him what he’s on and a loan club won’t want to pay anything like his full salary. 
 

Another Johnson Joke signing. I would be sheathing if I were paying, but the bloke who does only has himself to blame!

I’m not saying he wasn’t better but he wasn’t a world beater like the myth suggests,he was a “he’s not bad” player,the amount of times he gave the ball away when he played for us would have this forum turning kittens 

[MSN Red]

We will end up having to let him go on a free and supplement the shortfall in his wages until his contract ends. No one is going to offer any near £20k p.w.
