According to Wilki., Palmer is out of contract at the end of this season and so, if all goes well, and it suits all parties he could be signed on permanently in the summer. Compensation would be due to Chelsea because he is under 24 and, for all we know, a fee may well have already been agreed.

[1960maaan]

So Williams I read was a liability and red card waiting to happen, and this one is lazy and watches the games go by.

 

think I’ll avoid other teams forums from now on

Yep. Singing section took a dislike to something (couldn't tell what as I was other side of the ground).

In that game he was neat and tidy, and he has a good physique. But he toddled around at his own pace without affecting the game. At all. Much the same as he did at Huddersfield, from the little I saw of him there.

Hope I'm wrong but it's a "meh" from me.

We just take a dislike to anyone that's not City coming into that corner. Even some opposition club physios got grief one time 

Palmer reacted to it, and once that happens, they become even more of a target. He missed an absolute sitter against us that game!

[Negan]

Do we reckon this loan will involve an option to buy in the summer? It's an exciting signing imo, won't take to much notice of the Blackburn fans reaction but it shouldn't be completely ignored. Hopefully Johnson can get Palmer working like he did during his Huddersfield promotion season.

Think it got to Puncheon (think it was him) before he took a corner on Saturday too.

Worst corner I've seen taken, although matched for comedy value by Hamers goalkick shortly after.

Yeah headed away near post. 

It got to Sane the year before as well, but then he went and scored and gave us the  afterwards. Enjoy that when they give some back!

I don’t mind that too much if it’s one of our players.

Wright , Hunt and Maenpaa seem the only ones happy to wind up the opposition.

 

[Kodjias Wrist]

Good signing this will be. His Injuries have hampered his progression but I remember LJ saying we got tomlin instead of him.

[Andy Horsman]

The view of a mate of mine who works at the tip in Taunton and watches Blackburn home and away (s/t holder living in Somerset!!), 'He's crap, you're welcome to him'. Take these sort of comments with a pinch of salt usually, but this fella has seen him play every minute he's played for them this season! May well be City are a better fit for the lad. Sincerely hope so!!! Would be great to see him kick on at City!

Played well against us for Blackburn. He is still very young, just turned 22. Good player but not the 9 and a half Johnson was talking about. Maybe there is another signing coming in. Our squad is getting a bit big now so surely we are selling a couple at least.

That game they played 442 for the first time because Dack was missing, playing Armstrong and Graham up top, Palmer on the left. It was Palmer who hit the post when we were 1-0 down when Kelly and Maenpaa got caught waiting for each other to go for the bell. 

Palmer best fits the central AM role with licence to roam and hit the box. Pato likes to play on the periphery.  Dack who is playing so well had restricted Palmer’s opportunities. Palmer can play wide too  he is not a no10, nor is Pato being asked to play like one either, he isn’t given free reign!

For me this is the type of midfielder who fits 4141/4411, whilst providing work rate, but he’ll also get into the box into the end of crosses. 

Whether he delivers or not who knows. But he has the right attributes and style to fit our current system.

I think he got a new contract to 2021 a year or so ago.

Makes sense about @knighty's mate going up to Blackburn now.

Will give Palmer a chance of course, but would have preferred someone with a point to prove coming in. He s Hardly pulled up any trees in his loans at Derby and Blackburn; and is under a no doubt good contract from Chelsea for the next 2 years.

Hopefully he'll turn into the loan Tomlin; rather than the one after we signed him.

Yep. And no wonder a lot of Blackburn fans don't rate him when he's competed against Dack for that position. I'd be more excited if it's a permanent deal. Let's hope it is. He can improve a lot at his age. Already looks quick, strong and technically very good. 

I would like to think that he’ll produce more than Pato in terms of goals and assists but also better fit to style too. Here’s hoping!

Almost no way it is imo - until Chelsea get sanctioned for their ridiculous glut of loanees, they'll hold onto as many players as they can.

That's not what I said in the slightest, so don't twist what I said.

 

Sane wasn't booed because of his race at all, as has already been said, it's done to many players who take corners/throw ins in front of the South Stand/Dolman corner.

 

So the humour was in seeing Man City trying to claim something as a racist gesture when it very clearly wasn't.

So you think unfounded racist gestures are funny? This is getting worse and worse.

I think you will find that , that’s exactly how LJ sees him

Hes good technically and I’d suggest is Lees resolution for that ‘magic dust’

 

When I’ve seen him he hasn’t influenced games but he’s different to most we’ve got and hopefully may find a purple patch here

[Loco Rojo]

Mix of views on the Blackburn forum about him. Some positive, some negative. Don't forget he was competing against Dack for position and fans popularity (in the main I expect) so was always going to find it challenging. 

Fact is he may fit in better with the lads here/style of Football/tactics/training and general social fit and may kick on and do better than he has at Blackburn. I wouldn't write him off just because of some comments from some fans there. 

If this rumour is true, then welcome Palmer and good luck.

Also, it's good that we're getting someone with Championship experience from a number of clubs at the top end of the table during his time. Gives us more options in attack which we've definately been crying out for.

Completly agree with Kalas and Da Silva here he’ll fit in well and style of play fits him perfectly. It was always going to be hard competing with Dack. Blackburn fans love for Dack meant if he was ever dropped for Palmer there would instantly be negativity. 

[BRISTOL86]

Got a feeling he’ll do well here if played as a 10. Low risk deal, so why not.

I was simply pointing out he's a poor example for you to use to back up your comment above because he was very highly rated at Ipswich by both manager and fans. 

None of them 'got it wrong'  but his career there was blighted by a series of fairly serious injuries.

Hence the relatively small fee, and very substantial add ons.

I’ve generally found other teams forums to be a decent gauge of a player. If there happy to see the back of a player it’s unlikely that player will pull up trees at another club. I’ll be delighted to be proven wrong in this case though.

You only have to look on this forum to see the disparity in opinions on our players to realise that other forums are not an objective guide and there are always those with some sort of axe to grind or don't know their arse from their elbow. Couple that with the possibility that the player in question is being played out of position or in a poor team and it really isn't objective opinion.

It's not a signing I expected but he does seem suited to a 4-1-4-1 or a 4-4-1 in a central role and we'll soon find out if he's up to it.

I genuinely don't know how I feel about this one, I mean if he does perform and becomes a must for the team sheet then come the end of the season we'll be losing yet another one of the players who starts for us. 

I've never been a fan of loans for this reason, if you find the right player it's great when you have an option to buy but if you don't you're just giving game time to another teams player, game time that could be invested into improving our own players. 

I guess it is what it is but I was hoping we'd been working on deals that will benefit us more than another team. If he nails down that spot Patto has then come the end of the season we could lose Dasilva, Kalas, Palmer and potentially Kelly, that would be half of our back line and a key position in attack. 

That works both ways though. What about all our loans that are out getting experience? We want them to get game time at a lower level and improve them for us, and I doubt any have any pre agreed fees to move (maybe wrong). If nobody else we have are as good as the loan(s) people would moan we have put someone in the side who isn't good enough yet and should be out on loan!

Football forums reflect life in general in my experience; some people are right, some people are wrong and some people are very, very wrong. I think if Palmer is being seen as the final piece of a jigsaw, that's a big risk to take if promotion is an aim this season. However, if he's seen as a talented young player who, if given a fresh start could be a great addition. Think about Danny Rose; I wouldn't have recommended him as a pot wash after he was with us, a couple of years later he's playing for England. If Palmer was 27 and getting mixed reviews I'd think that was probably that. But at 22 and having done well before, I reckon he's a good gamble

If Palmer is as good as some make out, why is he only going to Bristol city on loan?

I didn't know that about Dasilva but I suppose that's a little comfort, however with Kelly if a club like Liverpool come knocking it's not a case of we don't need to sell him, it's more a case of how would we keep him happy having said no? If the Liverpool rumours of interest are true then I think it'll just be a case of finding a fee that we can agree on because who could begrudge the lad a move to a top 4 club in the Premiership. 

If Palmer has a pre-agreement and he can fit into our wages then there is no harm in this, but knowing Chelsea I can imagine that signing Dasilva or Palmer is not going to be a small chip in our wage bill. 

Agree with that.

I think the challenge the club would face with Lloyd if an offer came in from a top 6 PL side is that he may want to go.

I get all the arguments about he needs more time at this level, he is young etc etc........

But, the chance may not come again and I would not blame him if he wished to move on.

And.

We all know what happened when he went back to Spurs (and England)....

Lots of different factors at play for each player at any given moment in time.

He looks talented and more importantly, unpredictable, which must have attracted LJ.

It was meant with a bit of tongue and cheek. Just thought it was interesting that he followed him. Can’t see a reason as to why? I do, if he’s played in the right role and is prepared to put a shift in and can contribute with a few goals then I’m happy with it.

One decent game in 5 sounds very muck like Jacki. While a little harsh perhaps why do so many City supporters view Jacki through rose tinted glasses? As skilful as he could be his best years were at Celtic and he had as many poor games as good ones in a City shirt. 

Hopefully, if he arrives, he will not be the next Jacki, but the first Kasey Palmer.

Interesting discussion point, and maybe not for here and now.

But.

For me. (My first game was Glos Cup 5-0 victory over the gas when I was 12 years old).

I've seen a lot of good players and team performances, also a lot of dissapointments, too many tbh....

If you ask me about the highlights:

Obviously my first game, promotion, Gerry Gow, Wembley victories, the old East End atmosphere and a 0-1 win at Carlisle,

however a few magic moments from Jacki in the mud on a February night, just stand out and will probably be mentioned at my funeral.

Maybe it was the times, politics or just where I was with my life .....

Football was different in those days, less about statistics and more about emotion.
