I think I read that we have a sell-on clause at least, so maybe the club thought it was unlikely he'd ever break into our first team ahead of other young prospects such as Eisa and Hinds, but there's still the potential to reap a reward if he does go on to do well.
Yeah by the way it's worded it seems it's a hefty one too. Wouldn't surprise me if we've let him go on a free but taken a 40% sell on clause or something daft.
some of our aspiring "youth" have gone on to be quite dismal, a few have done OK who was the lad who went to Newcastle? in the main about 1 in 7 are progressive, probably of those about 1 in 7 make it? to good or better than Championship … the 3 who left in the summer, well a real mixed bag of fortune … Although Didn't BR actually get a start over Christmas?
Bristol City to make Everton £1m bid. https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/01/...eye-1m-bid-for-everton-midfielder-joe-willia/
Nice to see the report calls us a team that could make a move for the playoffs and with Walsh already here ,making hopefully good comments about us, could be the deciding factor. Any other thoughts on this guy?
Yet before he went injured he was starting to get a run in the team. Do you really ever pay attention or do you just tug off over Matty Taylor?
We understand that Williams is close to joining the Robins and if it goes through this could be yet another smart signing for City. He’s a young midfielder at Everton who has been on loan at Bolton this season. His game stats are outstanding and he could really boost City’s options in the middle of the pitch. That would enable the likes of Korey Smith, Liam Walsh and Josh Brownhill to possibly play further forward if needed. Hopefully the club can get this wrapped up. Reports in Bolton say that the club had a £1m offer accepted - however it could be that the Robins loan him for the rest of the season with a pre-agreed deal to sign him in the summer if it all works out. Could be another shrewd Championship pick-up, like the Adam Webster and Jack Hunt deals have been.
08:57 BRISTOL CITY MEDICAL FOR PALMER Chelsea midfielder Kasey Palmer is heading to Bristol City this afternoon for a medical ahead of a loan for the rest of the season, Sky Sports News understands. Palmer, who gained promotion to the Premier League with Huddersfield in 2017, has been on loan at Blackburn this season, but has only started 10 of Rovers’ 26 league matches. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasey_Palmer
Palmer set for Bristol City medical please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Date: 8th January 2019 at 9:12am Chelsea attacker Kasey Palmer is travelling to Bristol City later today for a medical ahead of a loan move for the rest of the season, according to Sky Sports. Their live transfer blog (8.57am) claims that he was at Blackburn on a season-long loan but has only started 10 out of their 26 games this season. And it looks like they are set to terminate that loan deal in favour of a move to Bristol City. The 22-year-old has had previous loan spells with Huddersfield and Derby County. OPINION Palmer is yet another promising Chelsea player who’s come up through the youth ranks and having to find his football elsewhere. He’s 22-years-old now, so no spring chicken, and he’s never made a senior appearance for Chelsea. That’s looking really unlikely now and surely a permanent move would be better for his career? He’s under contract at Chelsea until 2021 but he’s only made the senior bench twice, back in 2016. There are so many young players better than him that can’t get near the first-team, that it would seem best to call time on his career at Stamford Bridge. That he couldn’t get a regular game for Blackburn doesn’t bode well, but he did win promotion to the Premier League with Huddersfield, and a move to a Championship club could be the best for him going forward. He’ll have a chance to prove himself at Bristol City, where he’s presumably been offered more regular game time. https://thisisfutbol.com/2019/01/blogs/palmer-set-for-bristol-city-medical/
Hmm - I know he was highly rated when he was younger and being part of a promoted side is encouraging, though underwhelming loans at Derby and Blackburn isn't. Maybe adding some depth in case Pack and/or Brownhill are unavailable whilst Smith and Walsh are both out?
...Scratch that, turns out Derby fans really liked him! https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/29707-kasey-palmer-signed-for-blackburn-on-loan/
One Bradley Dack who is having a blinder of a season with bids of 20 million rumoured to be on the cards.
we should have pushed harder when we had the chance ...I think Gillinghams manager at the time talked him out of a move as they were doing quite well in DIV1 he didn't last much longer after and got the sack...…………… however hindsight and all that ………….

Won't happen. If a big enough club were to come along he may well have his head turned, but otherwise he's at a club he has an affinity to where he has a lot of support in the boardroom and things are largely going quite well. It's not a terrible time to take over at Stoke as whoever takes over is likely to largely be given a free pass for the rest of this season (to a point), with a view of pushing for promotion next season, but it's always tough to take over a club that's expected to win promotion from the Championship (case in point, Steve Bruce at Villa).
