I wouldn’t be bothered if he moved on. We need players with more output. As a creative midfielder he doesn’t chip in with enough assists or goals and he’s on very high wages.

According to the club programme on Saturday, Palmer has our most assists with 8, which is the same amount as QPR's Chair.

That's all comps. 1 against Oxford, 2 against Maidstone, and 1 against Sheff Wed in the FA Cup.

All of Chairs 8 assists and 7 goals were in the league.

We’re into “cup goals don’t count” I see. Always a sign that the discussion is heading in a rational direction

Most on here want rid of him. You must be feeling a bit low today.

Wolves wanted to sign Kevin Kyle when he was here.
Click to expand...
So you were wrong again. Always talking about how no one would want him. Are you ever right? Like about anything lol

As for feeling low why would I? I wouldn't mind if he leaves. He's a good player but inonsistent. If we get a fee even better. If he stays then I know he's nowhere near as bad as mike basset fans think so that's ok too as squad option.

Whatever the manager wants.

No you’re allowed two opinions on players: they’re the best thing ever and worth £20m, or they’re shit and stealing a living and must be abused until they leave the club.

No in between !

I get frustrated with Palmer 2bh. I like him - but he goes from Unplayable to non existent all the time.

if you have a squad full of quality - Palmer will complement that well

Does seem the way this forum operates these days. I remember being told I was anti kane just cos I liked dabo. Anti godden cos I wanted Simms to start. Anti Allen cos I liked Palmer. It's like your not allowed to like two players that play same position. Have to pick a side.

Lots need to move away from wanting back up players who aren’t what the first team needs.

Robins set to leave Barnsley

Can we read anything into this, particularly as the rumour mill says that Ranson will choose Robins if/when he takes over? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/b/barnsley/9484019.stm

Have to pick a first XI and everyone else is shit and needs to be “got rid of”. Sometimes don’t even get to XI.

There seems to be a belief that football management boils down to identifying shit players and driving them from the club, I assume the idea is once the shit has gone only great players will be left.

Go to the 94th minute of normal time in the play off final and look at the shot taken.

Remember this pretty well on the day and it was my light bulb moment for me.

Wondered why you said it was realistic? Most PL clubs aren't in the habit of loaning out their 2nd choice keepers. Keepers that are loaned out are normally further down the chain than that.

I’ve always said someone will take one last chance on him. Not sure what Mike Bassett has to do with it. I’ve said repeatedly palmer is like a 70’s throwback when people like Duncan MacKenzie, Tony Currie and Stan Bowles could play - now the game requires far greater fitness intensity and off the ball energy - he hasn’t got it

He’s not in the same league.

I think his work rate is ok, it’s his final ball that isn’t up to it, and in his position it’s all about how many you create and how many you score ….

The problem with Palmer is not his stats…it’s quite simply the amount of times in a game he loses possession. Puts the opposition on the counter more than he does us.

Melker Ellborg at Malmo perhaps, on loan to a second tier club at the moment.

Whatever happens this summer we have to do our business early and get the squad gelled. We cannot have a start like we have over the last 2 years. Need to be out of the blocks sharpish

Wouldn’t say it’s particularly his job to play keep-ball. That being said, he does often try to force the issue at times and if we’re honest, it doesn’t work out as often as it should - the pass for Wrights goal the other week was what I’d want to see him doing more often.
