We should have a cheeky try for Billy Gilmour, currently at the Carrot-Crunchers and getting stick, he's too classy for them...
"Kasey Palmer's time at Bristol City could be coming to an end with Championship rivals QPR closing in on a deal for the Jamaica international with talks at an advanced stage. Bristol Live understands talks have been taking place for some weeks over a permanent switch for the 25-year-old who has not featured in any of Nigel Pearson's last seven matchday squads. Pearson is keen to get Palmer off the club's wage bill and there have been discussions over a potential Adam Nagy-type deal whereby the playmaker is effectively allowed to leave for free. Nagy was allowed to join Italian Serie B side Pisa for nothing in August having declared his wish to leave the Robins, allowing the Hungarian's final year of his contract to be written off. Palmer still has 18 months to run on his contract at City, having arrived in the summer of 2019 from Chelsea, and as one of the highest earners at the club simply isn't providing value for money. A transfer fee would, of course, be preferable but such are the financial realities of a Covid-influenced transfer market, City may have to simply take what they can get. City last week announced record losses of £38.4m for the financial year ending 2021, including collective salaries of £35.3m and although moves were made in the summer to bring that down, further reductions are needed. QPR director of football Les Ferdinand is said to be a huge admirer of Palmer and believes Rs boss Mark Warburton can turn him into one of the best No10s in the Championship and help cement their position inside the top six. With Ilias Chair departing west London this month for the African Cup of Nations to represent Morocco, Palmer would ensure cover in the playmaking role. The move will be agreeable for Palmer because he has received assurances over his place in the team but also allows him and his family to move back to London having been born in Lewisham and spent his teenage years with Charlton Athletic and Chelsea." per Bristol Live
There’s only one Kasey Palmer And he smokes marijuana Walking along smoking a bong Walking in a Palmer wonderland
I doubt it's a guarantee, but an assurance that he'd be joining as a participating first team player including as a sub, and not merely an insurance policy on the books.
Looked quite useful against us on one of his various loans as part of Chelsea’s never-to-actually-play-for-Chelsea loan farm. From memory he’s bigger/stronger than Willock or Chair and more of an athlete than a really skilful ‘10’. Also has a girl’s name.
I don't remember seeing him play. Seems to have moved about a bit between clubs. Just so long as he's happy to take a pay cut.
I noticed that but too. Can’t imagine our coaching team agreeing to that at all - not their MO. He might get an opportunity while Chair is out, and then quarantining, but he will need to step up to the plate if he’s going to keep his place - and he sounds like he’s had his issues at Brizzle so far. Could be one for the ‘polishing’ dept!
Similar attitude to Ravel Morrison apparently, according to some fans of his previous loan clubs ! Just what we need
Forest are trying to muscle in on the Steve Cook deal. When we were after Souttar from Hearts, they were too...now they have switched to Steve Cook. Have they no scouting department....are they just using ours
We don’t know what his attitude is like, only on fans say, I’d rather judge him by his football standards & let the club work on his attitude if he has one, anyway he hasn’t even signed or if he will yet
TBH Sooper I only want players to come to play football and not just for money. Do Forest have money now?
They were embargoed a few years ago but always seem 1st in the queue when players are available. They've had massive turnover of players in recent years. I agree, if it's all about money he can bugger off...
Forest are set to offer Soutar a pre contract agreement which would suggest they are after him and not Cook ! Doubt they'd be after both
