I didn't say he won't compete for AMC but he's certainly no natural there. He's patently a wide man and most of his game is taking men on and getting a cross in. He can do that a bit at AMC, but it's hardly "central" to the role (ho-ho). It's a puzzling signing to a degree, but it seems that we spotted a gem and thought "get him in and sort out what to do with him later". We might play wingers soon, who knows!I struggle to believe Robins has sanctioned an almost £2m signing on a player who doesn’t fit our system and will be “shoehorned” into either attacking midfield or a wingback. He’s clearly going to compete to start in one of those spots.
I think it would be good sense on the player's part and could easily have a gentleman's agreement as with Gyo if he really wants out in the summer.Why are we assuming he's going to sign an extension?

It’s all personal opinion but I think Palmer is worth way more than £750K, I know there’s probably more to come from the likes of Simms and MVE etc but in terms of going forward Palmer was the only one trying to create anything in the last game. I realise his end product isn’t great but I felt that no one else in that game was making decent runs or trying to get into positions for him to lay the ball off so he almost had no choice but to take the shots on himself.I’m sorry but IMO Palmer is not worth anymore than £750k
He is too injury prone to be worth anymore than that. Has some nice touches but not a reliable player that’s gunna play 40 matches a season.
Over the last few years his career has been start stop, you can see there’s something there but it’s not firing all cylinders

O’Hare made more assists in the league than Palmer last season, despite playing about 20 fewer games.He’s so electrifying, I just hope he can start to add Goals and Assists to his game because that’s where Palmer has one over on him currently.
Get yourself up to Ryton and tell him to his face that he's signed a wrong un.I struggle to believe Robins has sanctioned an almost £2m signing on a player who doesn’t fit our system and will be “shoehorned” into either attacking midfield or a wingback.

Don't disagree, but given his rumoured wages he's a very expensive impact sub.

Not what I was saying at all, I’m saying Robins will have a plan for him and since MVE looks like he’ll be our first choice at RWB that plan surely involves plenty of playing time in attacking midfield.Get yourself up to Ryton and tell him to his face that he's signed a wrong un.
Clearly you know so much more than he and his staff will ever know.
I get that but MR did say a few weeks ago there was to be no more round pegs in square holes.Not what I was saying at all, I’m saying Robins will have a plan for him and since MVE looks like he’ll be our first choice at RWB that plan surely involves plenty of playing time in attacking midfield.
It was reported at the time of the signing - palmers wages at Bristol and the contract arrangement arent a secret
My gut feeling would be any fee offered is similar to what we paid. Not anywhere near 10m for example.Didn’t Palmer cost Bristol £3.5m from Chelsea?
Every player has a price.
If Norwich bid £10m then he’s off. £1m maybe not.
Someone thought Palmer worth £3.5m not too long ago.
Just saying.
£2.5m plus McCallum would be good business.
(I know SM hasn’t set the world on fire at NCFC but he seems to do well here. Some players suit certain clubs; see Martyn Waghorn for details.)
We can do better than McCallum was a good lad here, but Norwich haven’t been the best the last two seasons and McCallum has not exactly been pulling up trees there has had at leat two managers as well.Didn’t Palmer cost Bristol £3.5m from Chelsea?

He doesn’t have “favourites”, he may though appreciate more than a fan a quality a player has in a functioning teamRobins has favourites. That includes Palmer and Godden and Allen.
They will be amongst his first picks when fit.
Palmer's going nowhere. And Sakamoto and/or Simms, Wright will be having a lot of bench time.
Someone with more time than me will work it out, but my guess would be around 10%. Something like 5 full 90s in 55ish games.This isn’t a loser question but what percentage of games since he signed has Palmer played 90 mins in? Not only games he’s played in but the total games.
He’s played the full 90 minutes on eight occasions since joining us in all competitions - that’s 22% of his games for us, and 14% of our total games since he joined.This isn’t a loser question but what percentage of games since he signed has Palmer played 90 mins in?

I'm no doubt over reacting but this sort of thing annoys me. The Norwich reply says there is NO interest, so presume agent is BS rather than having some insider knowledge. But it don't end there ... there's still a potential knock on effect of uncertainty, destablisation, dressing room moans over wages, generating interest from other parties. Obviously goes on but I'd love one of these agents (or their sources) to have their arses sued by the club for creating a falsehood.The Palmer story is almost certainly a plant by his agent to see if there is a chance of a move for him this week. Norwich denied any interest almost as quickly as the story came out. It could as easily be a ploy to get a pay rise as well.

Never going to happen because players would end up being majorly pissed off. It makes me laugh that people actually think players don't instruct their agents to do this kind of stuff and it's all down to the big bad agents.I'm no doubt over reacting but this sort of thing annoys me.

He played 90 mins 6 times last season in Champ and so far only Leicester this season. Made around 29 appearances in total in the league.Someone with more time than me will work it out, but my guess would be around 10%. Something like 5 full 90s in 55ish games.
46 league games, 3 playoff games, 4 league games this season and a few cup games.
Have zero proof Palmer has asked him to do it though. Dangerous game to just assume and have a go at him isn't it?Never going to happen because players would end up being majorly pissed off.

Where have I had a go at him?Have zero proof Palmer has asked him to do it though. Dangerous game to just assume and have a go at him isn't it?
I'm not saying you did. I'm just saying as fans we can't assume he's asked for this to happen that's all. Were in the dark as obsessed as we are.Where have I had a go at him?
I'm talking about players in general, not just Palmer.
Yes absolutely get that mate, it's playing the game. Though if I was Norwich I'd consider taking Palmer to task via his agent IF there's nothing in it.Never going to happen because players would end up being majorly pissed off.
