Was a strange signing for Coventry really. I could see why we signed him at the time, but not for the money that was paid and given to him. Hence the reason I said LOWER league version Both have talent at their level, but don't deliver to the standard they should 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 What surprised me on there was how they seem to have turned against Hamer who I thought was a very good player whenever I`ve seen him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman Mao Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 Dele plays one role. A false 10. He needs two other midfielders to carry him. Now sure, he has an attitude problem, but his inability to play as a 8 has really done him in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good point Dave, maybe they are- I've never had them down as in FFP trouble though but will have a read of the thread now. Have a feeling having read a little that it's referring to solvency, cash flow whatever- maybe SISU aren't so willing to fund.

I think questions over attitude are over blown and the Premier League quality and style is so much quicker and every team has to press defend from the from that was never Ali’s game…I think in a different league we will see his quality more simply not suited to the top level in England Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my little understanding, they charge coventry a management/admin fee for them running the club that they own. Bizarre. 7 hours ago, harrys said: The point was that Coventry might think they made a mistake by signing him but at least it wouldn’t be a costly mistake seeing as they paid nowt for him whereas we paid x amount of millions, thought that was obvious to be honest They actually surprisingly paid us a fee for him. Although it was probably very modest but they did pay a fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady bunch Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 I think the £19k pw at Chelski is accurate (as it was made public), I think he was on slightly less here (but not much less) and will I am sure had a tidy signing on fee as well. So he is set for life if he manages his money carefully. I for one don't think he has ever conned anyone, I think he tried his best here, its just his style of football and the type of player he is needs to be in a very dominate top team (like a Norwich in the Championship). If he is needed to "put a shift in" and do everything then you have problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the minimum requirement, and also he isnt getting anywhere near the Norwich team. Not even on the bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Oil Services Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 Thing with Kasey Palmer is, we don't miss him, not one tiny bit. We could be struggling this season, and still we would not miss him at all. I would imagine it is the same for the other clubs he has played for. It will be no great surprise if it's the same once he has left Coventry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 The only time he really looked good, or influential is a better word was when we had the combination of him behind Weimann and Afobe. When Afobe got injured, that went down the pan. Made Weimann less effective too probably. However Palmer- Weimann and Afobe...when fit, good combination but needed at that time that combination specifically to click. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think with the way the game is developing in this country mainly thanks to Pep Klopp etc and as it seems to be filtering down the divisions, over the next decade or so your ‘’luxury’’ type of players (Palmer and Tomlin the first two that spring to mind) will become more of a rarity especially in the top two divisions. Regardless of talent players in the modern game are now all being expected to put a shift in over 90 mins and to be able to press and cover their fair share of KM’s. Managers and fans just won’t put up with players like Palmer who think they can just jog about and add a maverick touch every now and then and think that will be enough.

Mrs tore hers about 3 weeks ago, horrible injury. Obviously she's not an elite athlete so it was just a few days resting then trying to keep moving as much as possible but rest again if you tire. They said 12 weeks before she could seriously use it again. Should of seen the bruising, looked like a politcal map of Africa! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muscle tears are horrible , I did my calf while walking home last year, I couldn't walk at all for a couple of days. I was interested to see Palmer was having injections and didn't need surgery . Just been looking and certain problems are treated with Steroids . Well it looks like a corticosteroid, and it's cortisone that I thought could cause long term problems. I guess that's changed now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
