Blisters can't be that bad, he's still training. It's just a throw away comment from Robins. And as usual some are getting their knickers in a twist.

Ignore the blister comments and focus on what MR is actually saying. Palmer isn't being rushed and may not be fully ready for the start of the season, 3 weeks away. That's perfectly acceptable, when he's had injuries and not actually played any football in 6 months. That's not because of blisters.

Not good enough. If he ain't gonna be ready then they should have given him a 2 and a half year contract, not 3. Fucking fizzing over here m8.

Remember everyone slagging off Wilson before the season? Let’s give Palmer the benefit of the doubt and wait till the actual season starts to slag him off.

I had that last season breaking in some new boots and it was really painful for a week or so. Wouldn't expect this at professional level though with access to many different pairs and bandaging, plasters, a medical team etc.

Hopefully this isn't the start of the excuses!

I got a new pair recently and they took all the skin off the back of my heel. Normally play twice a week. Ended up having to cut it to one game, but even still, every time it healed it reopened in the next game. I played on but it was agony.

Three weeks later they contributed to a severe ankle sprain. Maybe they were just cursed boots though...

Well as the only new arrival there's nobody else to take their share of whips

I really wonder how much we paid for him… telegraph today confirms it was a fee

The Sky Blues are not just looking at freebies, although it’s a market they have regularly tapped into, but paid an undisclosed fee for their one and only signing of the current window so far when they drafted in Kasey Palmer from Bristol City.

We (BCFC) released him so you could sign him for free but have you taken on the remainder of his contract, supposedly.

I think his appearance record shows he's rarely been a regular at any club under any manager. They can't all be wrong.

I hope AV can get a tune out of him, as his career is at a crosswords now, if he fucks up here, he will be another for Shrewsbury Town's ranks.

He's talented. Seems fitness is likely the issue.

Callum O Hare had 16 league appearances for League Two Carlisle when we signed him on loan. Good job we didn’t just go by his appearance record

Not the best example. He was 21 and played every game he could for Carlisle

around £20k a week

Palmer, Pearson and a Bristol City transfer problem three years in the making

Bristol City risk repeating the Kasey Palmer situation of last season in which one of their highest-earning players delivered minimal value on the pitch for maximum expenditure

If we’re paying him 20k a week then that’s pretty insane.

It was claimed from their end that we’d taken over his current contract rather than paying a fee.

Likely just for this season I’d assume then the last two revert to something more sensible.

O'hare was never left to rot on the scrap heap like Palmer was though.
And O'hare was a young prospect, not a highest earning senior pro.

In fact when you think about it, your argument is completely pointless.

Quite possibly so. Whatever the issue is, I hope we can sort it out pronto.

All these cancelled games should give him time to get upto speed, as he's only had 10 months now to sort his fitness out.

Yeah in effect Bristol City have written off the transfer fee to get him off their books.

But it said the fee was undisclosed. If there was no fee why wouldn’t it of just been a free transfer?

Could have been a whole pound they didn't disclose!

Or, say, we'd have paid him £9k pw, Bristol City valued him at, say, £750k. So therefore we paid £150k ish in transfer fee, and the rest in wages to him so Bristol City didn't have to.

I think we all should start slagging him off now, because let's face it, if he can't get a game when O'hare is injured, then he certainly ain't getting a game when O'hare is fit.
And if we ain't careful, we will totally miss any chance to slag him off at all !!!

So BOOO BOOOO he's fuckin shittttt





That feels good

I think this time last year Bristol City had something like 13 high paid midfielders on their books which I suppose included Palmer.

We should have paid £35m for Gibbs White instead (madness !)
