Palmer Joins!!

It's official, and a permanent signing on a 4-year deal!

https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/robins-swoop-for-palmer/

 

£12.5m out for Kalas, Dasilva and Palmer.

£15m in for Kelly.

That's good business.

 

I suspect a bit more than that -
Kalas c£8m
Palmer c£4m
DaSilva c£3-4m

But still, great business based on last seasons performances. Great work by LJ and MA.

 

Not sure about this one. Whispers he is not the most professional. He did not excel in his loan spell and found it difficult to adapt to the football the team played. Its hard to see how he fits in to a defined playing style.

 

That's coming from TKIR on the OTIB forums. Admittedly not the best website in the world but he 100% knows his stuff, he's correct all the time.

He was adamant the Kalas fee is £7m, Dasilva was reported as being pre-agreed at £2m (which the agent tried changing), and Palmer rumoured at £3.5m, so it does all fit.

 

I hope he/you are correct, as that's more in the kitty!!

 

I like him and believe with the permanent signing behind him he will improve...I enjoy a player with flair...maybe needs to work harder, but at 3.5m sounds a good deal..

 

I don't believe any rumour unless he quotes or likes something. There is another one on there who is nearly always correct.

 

Is that Red Robin under a different name?

 

I guess Johnson and Palmer think differently

 

LJ as much as said that he wasn't fully fit when he joined us last season, hence why he felt he needed a full pre-season with LJ. Obviously we didn't get that, however, LJ has commented on the fact he looks in good shape after the pre-season with Chelsea, so I'm happy for LJ (rather than us fans) to be the judge on how fit he is looking compared to when he joined in Jan.

Also, whilst not a full pre-season, LJ and his team have plenty of time to sort him out, and hopefully he is also more motivated no we are a permanent, rather than a temporary home.

 

Doubt it, he would struggle to spell another name.

 

Of course but I wonder how he will fit the team. Straight in? On the bench? Fourth, fifth choice? Does this player incrementally improve the teams passing style? Questions not really there to be answered by the way, thinking out loud. Not saying Palmer is crap either.

City have players with promise who don't get runs in the team. Walsh must wonder was he was that bad that he never gets a real run in the XI..

 

I don't have any problem with him returning on a more permanent basis but where's my striker?

 

Hope he does the business for us now he's permanent

 

didn't he do a load of gym in BRISTOL before joining their squad for the rest of the PS

 

No that was Cobham, near Chelsea’s training ground the photos of him training were taken.

 

I have a feeling there are going to be a few more comings and goings before the window slams shut.
