The Kase(y) for Palmer (1 Viewer)

Saddlebrains · Jul 24, 2024

For me, he is now a redundant member of the squad.

We all know he's all fart no poo anyway but in a 433 he just doesn't fit in. Doesn't have the stamina for the box to box role required let alone the quality needed to stick a tackle in alongside driving forwards.

Even if we did revert to 4231 for a game and needed a 10, we have Rudoni, EMC and Torp who can all play there.

I seriously think we need to offload Kasey and of course 1 of the keepers

This could end up in quite a flurry of handbags…again.

Agreed, a very hit or miss signing we had to make at the time. He’s outlived his stay here imo. Can see us continuing with him till January though. Would rather not sign anymore inconsistent injury prone dribble merchants.

We've got plenty of dribble merchants on this site

First flurry, incoming.

Having two threads on this back to back is a bit weird.

No it isn’t, just indulge him, start a ruckus.

Big talk a fat bloke on a jet ski talking about attention craving

Nope key player for me. Torp seems to injury prone, and like Allen is more of a CM / No.8 than an AM/No.10
EMC is more of a wide man isn't he? I'm sure he's been brought in to play wide.
KP may not be a starter but he's a great option off the bench. Palmer & O'Hare between them scored or assisted nearly 25 goals last season. We've already lost O'Hare.

We are likely not to play with a 10 next year.

Nowhere near being a key player for us. Had 5-7 good games per season. We’ve outgrown him. Thanks for your efforts Kasey but happy for him to leave especially if he is demanding more £££.

Can we just agree that we will play an AM of some sort regardless of what shirt number he plays?

Too many are getting hung up on shirt numbers for some reason, it's not as if the football league have some law that only certain shirt numbers can cross the half way line or go into the oppositions penalty area.

Gint11 · Jul 24, 2024

I’ll back track slightly. Palmer can be a useful impact sub until he runs his contract down but I doubt he’ll want that role.

it relates to the position and role on the pitch

procdoc · Jul 24, 2024

I’d keep Palmer. He’s frustrating but he’s bound to have that one season where he tears this league apart at some point!

hill83 · Jul 24, 2024

Never heard of him

Yes, we are all well aware of that, but since the dawn of colour TV and the Internet, players have been allowed to be flexible and rotate, so very few teams play a rigid system these days.

We are more likely going to play a midfield 3 of a DM a Box to Box type and an AM, but even these will rotate and not be fixed during a game.

He’s not good enough to be part of a promotion winning team

one of those players that fights for his place then goes backwards when he gets into the team

He was when Huddersfield got promoted to the Premier League.

covcity4life · Jul 24, 2024

Needs to be more consistent but looking forward to seeing him playing with more dangerous players than godden upfront.

If sold not end of world but would be a few other players I'd rather see leave first of had to put an order on it.

JSL · Jul 24, 2024

I get the impression that he is one of MRs favourites and wont be going anywhere soon

He obviously rates him enough to use one of his playoff final subs to give him 10 mins to try and win the game.

I think he'll be predominantly an impact player this season, and I can see that working well.

That has to be up there as one of the worst decisions MR has ever made.

He was desperate at that point and knew Palmer wasn’t fit. Given the circumstances I understand why that sub was made.

It was either that or bringing on Sean Maguire!

I’m sure he’d have put Simon Moore up front instead of Maguire

Diogenes · Aug 3, 2024

Is anyone else interested to see what Palmer can do next season?

I'm part of the Doubting Thomas Society where Palmer is concerned but I just have this weird feeling that he's going to step it up this year.

Palmer last year was making a pass that nobody had the vision to get on the end of - the forward line has improved on last year and I have a feeling he is going to raise his game.

That assist for Torp was filthy.

I maintain that he's really great to watch and has attributes that not many in the league possess despite some of his flaws...

His skillet may suit being brought on when we are struggling to break down a defence, rather than expecting him to be the only creating player in the team for 90 mins week in/week out

Doubt that's the role he sees for himself though

Yorkshire SB · Aug 3, 2024

Personally I’d keep Palmer if he’s happy with a squad role.

He’s a bit of a flat track bully IMO. However against 8-9 of the teams in this division that could be very useful.

Huddersfield away last season a great example. He was absolutely superb.

Sick Boy · Aug 3, 2024

I imagine he’ll have a role to play from the bench this season before being released next summer.

I agree when he's on it he's a pleasure to watch. But it's that final ball, or the key game you need him to perform in where he seems to fall short.

I just have a feeling he might push on and prove me wrong this year
