Hes looked a bit clumsy when Ive watched him and has spent a lot of time on the bench. My spuds mate reckons hes slow on the ball...
Palacios was great at Wigan and decent at Spurs. Stoke as already pointed out have their way of doing things and success or failure there should be taken with a pinch of salt. Sign him up asap.
Palacios' story is a very sad one. I was never much of a fan of him at Spurs but it's fair to say I was very much in the minority of Spurs fans in saying that. His form took a big dip though after his brother was kidnapped and killed despite Wilson paying the ransom. It's tough to say why he didn't get games at Stoke but I wouldn't have thought you'd want a player who's barely played and hasn't been at his best for for about 3 seasons.
Not sure we need defensive Midfielders unless Arry is looking to off load some in swap deals then it would make sense. Priority should be other areas imo.
