Bristol City considering recalling Kasey Palmer from Swansea City to bolster midfield Robins have up to 12 players missing for Friday's trip to Preston and midfielder could add to their options from Janaury. Bristol City are strongly considering recalling Kasey Palmer from his loan to Swansea City. The 24-year-old is viewed as someone who can immediately add to Dean Holden's midfield resources and provide vital creativity from the centre of the pitch, where the Robins have looked short of ideas in recent weeks. With Andi Weimann recovering from an ACL injury and out for the majority - if not all - of the 2020/21 campaign and Jamie Paterson nursing an ongoing hip injury, it would make strong sense to revisit the case of Palmer who could take one of their positions. Both Liam Walsh and Joe Williams are expected to be involved from the new year too, and with Palmer potentially in the mix, City would suddenly find their midfield ranks swelled with two experienced Championship players and one of the standout players from last season's League One. City were forced to use four players from the U23s set-up on Tuesday night, as Sam Bell, Opi Edwards, Zac Smith and Ryley Towler all made the bench for the defeat by Millwall. And there are expected to be more than 10 players unavailable for the trip to Preston on Friday, with Chris Brunt out with a calf injury and Jay Dasilva set for a spell on the sidelines too. Palmer has not featured as regularly for Swansea City as he may have liked this campaign so far. Though he has a very good relationship with Steve Cooper, he has made just two starts in the league - although he has appeared nine times from the bench. Despite that, Palmer averages the most dribbles per 90 minutes in the whole Swans squad, and the third most key passes (passes that lead to a shot) from his 354 minutes of playing time. Attributes that are in all too short supply in the Robins squad currently. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport...stol-city-considering-recalling-kasey-4807200
What an utter shambles, either should never have been signed in the first place (quite obvious LJ didn't want him) or loaned him out in the second place (given the mystery injuries to Walsh and Williams). We loan him out a 24 year old and bring in a 35 year old.
In another thread your liking a post that says spending all this money was the cost of competing!! Lot of these never should have been signed at BCFC under lj.
If Palmer comes back and does play, we will have to go with 1 up top, and Palmer in behind, in a 4-5-1 style formation. We cannot play Palmer in a 4-3-3, as his work rate is nowhere near high enough (based on what I have seen of him before in a City shirt) and we would be overrun down the middle (as we are now...).
I don't understand the correlation here? I certainly do not like signing a player that clearly the manager had no faith in when he was on loan with us, let alone after that event. I think you confusing my post as a dig at LJ for the signings, when in actual fact I have no idea who actually decides who we sign, because it is not clear, but it is not working as well as it should be and Palmer is a classic example, we would be lucky to get a fee for him with his lack of game time. The shambles is why we signed him and why we let him go out on loan, with the ongoing injuries to Walsh and Williams + the sale of Morrell.
Wasted money. A shambles. In another post your liking a post saying we had to spend like that!! Yeah city will be fkn lucky to get close to what he cost Squads don’t have to be that big and it’s a bloody good idea to know whose signing all these clubs in the bag and that the headman really is wanting them.
I think we know it's a mixed bag between what the manager of the day wants and what MA wants. In the case of Palmer, it was crystal clear that LJ did not want him, but MA was still drinking the Chelsea cool-aid, and we bought all their off-loads. MA brokered poor deals in terms of transfer fees for the 3 from Chelsea, Kalas, DaSilva and Palmer imo!
You will have to direct me to this post, I have checked all of the posts that I liked on the Millwall thread but cannot see anything close to what you describe.
