Kasey Palmer looks like he’s making his way to join us on loan until the end of the season.
Any thoughts ? |  | | |  |

Why are a team lower than us in the table (but not out of play off contention) lending us a player?
Alarm bells |  |

To anyone who wants to add a negative slant to this even before he signs - when we were a club on the up it was a regular occurrence for us to sign relative unknown’s or players from lesser teams; I give you Angel Rangel as exhibit A.
At that time it was deemed a positive so why should a signing like Kasey Palmer now be met with any negativity? It’s as much about how we handle the player as it is the player himself so let’s give him half a chance, eh? |  |

Indeed
The other thread about how shite the highly rated PL striker we signed on loan says it all.
Some players just fit at a club.
6th in the league & the amount of whinging on this site is unbelievable.... I doubt many were about when we were really shite in the lower leagues. |  | | |

Not sure where he'll play. Some say he's a no.10 (doesn't exist in a 4-3-3 formation), some say he's a winger, and others say he's a midfielder.
It sounds like he's been inconsistent at Bristol, and now the manager wants him out. Perhaps Bristol was just the wrong team for him.
I'd want a strong midfielder personally, but if he's all we can get in terms of signings, I'll take it. |  |

Having chatted to a few Bristol city fans - I live that side of the bridge - they see Palmer as an attacking midfielder/‘10’ but Lee Johnson’s current formation plays two holders & two wider players so he tends to get cameos from the bench.
Some are frustrated that he hasn’t got more chances others still say he’s too inconsistent & doesn’t track back.
Whilst Cooper clearly knows him I would have preferred to see us linked to a more box to box player . . . . unless of course Celina is offski. | | | |

I’m more concerned about the type of player he is than his pedigree or where he is coming from. I think he was highly rated at Chelsea anyway.
If there is money to bring loans in, we are crying out for a physical defensive or box to box midfielder, not another flair player. | | | |

Exactly.
We have already been chasing him. He recently moved for multi-mllions. It hasn't worked out. Perfect for us by the sound of it.
If Coops can manage him (if Palmer has issues) he could be a great signing.
How any signing of a promising player can be bad I don't know.
We are in the shit. I didn't think we would get any signings at all, so any new numbers through the door the better IMO. | |

Yep, we all want the perfect player in this window, but beggars can't be choosers init. I can think of plenty of worse signings than Kasey Palmer.
Like you said, it hasn't worked out for him at Bristol, but we don't know why that is. No-one has said it's because he's not good enough. Rumours are rife about fall-outs etc. If Coops is truly the genius with young players that we've been led to believe at the start of the season, he could make him into a star.
Maybe. maybe not, but why not even give that a chance?
Why would people say no to signing such a player, especially when we were unlikely to sign anyone in the first place? | |

I agree with this too. I would prefer a solid, more defensive player, but still would be a good signing. | |

I think you've missed the point - why would one of our divisional rivals decide to loan us a player?
Doesn't sound like he's taken to the championship well does it. | |

Players from Lesser sides who'd excelled at that level and deserved the chance to step up yes.
Also ones who played in positions we needed filling. | |

He's got to be better than what we have already. Maybe B.C. have a strong mid-field and can afford to let him go. | | | |

Well they only signed him in the summer and haven't changed manager or anything so that suggests he's underperformed since joining them. | |

Well if you read the otib forum, he's had a big fallout with Johnson, hence the lack of game time, and their fans are gutted at the thought of him coming here. |  |

Or doesn't fit their system.
I wouldn't go for him personally as I don't think he is what we need.
If he is a number 10, then Cooper will probably play him on the wing anyway.
But let's not write him off because he is coming from a team below us. |  |

Hopefully for him his Mrs isn't the reason, destroyer of hundreds of promising careers is a Mrs with a personal agenda. |  |

Agreed he may not fit their system, we've been guilty of doing similar many times in the past.
We're on a football forum discussing a potential transfer. 'writing him off' is irrelevant.
If he pulls on the white shirt of Swansea City he'll have my full backing. | |

Yes if we rule out players just because they are playing in a team lower than us in the league or because he is lacking a bit of confidence I give up.
If he was flying for Bristol we would not get a look in. | |

He had quite a few short term loans as a teenager. Was 21 when he joined us.
Still only 30. | | | |
