Pizy 18,903 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 In this day and age of hyper inflated fees there was obviously no chance City were going to sell one of their brightest youngsters for £35m. We’re going to have to pay an uncomfortable amount for him if we want him. For a kid who has barely played it’s a huge risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Ticks every box Palmer- Age profile, attacking profile and price. This will be a great bit of business if we can get this done. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,903 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 That’s a LOT of money for a kid with just a tiny sample size of first team football. It would be a 100% “trust Poch/Shields” gamble. I just knew and have been saying for days that the target we’d eventually go for would be completely surprising and out of the blue. Palmer is a name not a single person who follows football could’ve guessed. When you think about it, with the fees we should be getting for Trev, CHO, and the several million in loan fees for Lukaku & Cucu we won’t really be spending much, if any on our new attacking signing.

Pizy 18,903 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Btw, more and more smoke about Salah leaving for Saudi this week. If that happens I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Liverpool immediately rush to throw that money at Brighton to replace Mo with Mitoma.

Only way i can see City selling him, is if he's asking for it I believe Pep said he'd either be part of their squad or be sold shortly after the Community Shield. It would be refreshing to see a youngster push for playing time rather than being content with collecting medals. YorkshireBlue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would he get playtime here tho?`Can see Poch still using Gallagher/Chillwell as LW instead of Palmer for at least another season Edited August 30, 2023 by Gundalf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for promising talents being signed mainly by someone with a good eye for youngsters, but at some point, you need players that have a 90%+ chance of delivering the goods from the get-go.

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Of the few appearances Palmer has made on senior level I have probably seen a quarter. The player he is most similar IMO is Kai but the Leverkusen one. He has the same swagger and elegance with ability for spectacular goals but is lanky and weak af. Good end speed but average acceleration and balance. What palmer hopefully offers is goals. He has scored in about every match on development and youth level and also in the two super cup games this season but never in PL. At age 21 he is a gamble mostly bc of how little he has played. Kai at that age already had over 100 pro games. I hope Palmer still has the Hunger after winning CL and PL as bit part player but if he wants the move he probably has.
