Cardy Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 The latest Insta videos are obscene. I used to be a fan but flashing the bling like a right bunch of chavs makes me feel sick. Absolute show pony who has done very little on the pro pitch to back up his Chelsea academy rep. He’s just a guy who wants the footballer’s life without being a footballer - waster who needs to show some humility. 2 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s just a guy who wants the footballer’s life without being a footballer - waster who needs to show some humility. I realise this is going to be controversial but I'm not sure agree with the outrage here. I think footballers' wages represent a deeply skewed society where we value certain careers to an obscene multiple of other careers but players aren't to blame for the wage they're offered. Even if it does turn out that Palmer doesn't have the dedication and application needed to make it in the game - and I've no idea if that's the issue at all - it was the club's job to suss his character out over six months of a loan before offering him a contract. I don't see any reason to dislike the guy for taking the contract he was offered or choosing to enjoy the money he's paid on that contract. I doubt many of us would turn down a job for an obscene salary just because we didn't particularly enjoy the work (which, again, I've no idea is true of KP or not). He doesn't need to show humility and he doesn't owe us as fans anything. It's not his fault the club shelled out a transfer fee and a fair whack of wages for a player that they did not have a plan for, and it's not his fault we've now got a manager whose style of play he does not suit at all. As far as I'm concerned, he can do as he pleases with his money and social media. I just think it's a lesson for the club that we need to be prudent and have a clear understanding of and plan for the players we sign.

After all those posts will be seen by people who effectively pay his wages and might well be struggling in the present climate to provide a roof over their heads, food on the table and clothing.

AshtonRobin21 Posted June 19, 2022 Report Share Posted June 19, 2022 Didn't the press reports say that Palmer was due for a medical in the week (last week)? From the looks of it, he's still on holiday. I would hope for some movement during this upcoming week. Teams are starting to return for pre-season training, Swansea are already back for instance. You would assume that Coventry would like him there for Day 1. Can't help but feel that this deal is one of the most important bits of business we could conduct this summer (from an outgoing perspective). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Coventry Telegraph he was back off his jollys this weekend. I expect he will be announced today as the Coventry players start their preseason training this Monday. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 So to recap ; He had a medical last week despite being on holiday with Mrs KP and family. He’s bought a house in Coventry He came back from holiday last week and last weekend. All the above are rumours. Adi Viveash the number two at Cov, knows him very well as he coached him through the youth levels at Chelsea. Fact It looks like it will go through, let’s hope sooner rather than later for all parties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearson didn't have a problem with him being around last season though - it's not as if he's persona non grata unlike, at a guess, Bakinson - if he was told to make himself scarce I wouldn't be in the least surprised. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference is that we could unveil our plans for the new season and the next minute he’s facing us with his new club. Last season it was not decided before January if he was going to be offered a way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
