Kasey Palmer

[Browno 36]

Interest according to Fabrizio Romano

[ZLF 281]

Interesting, is that lazy because of wagners previous links?  A false no 9 replacement perhaps.

[Midlands Yellow 4,118]

Doubt he’s on £10k a week at Coventry so wages wouldn’t be a problem. A player who has injury issues mind but ok for £2/3m tops.

If that's genuine, you would expect there to be movement in our midfield department wouldn't you? 

As it stands: McLean, Sara, Nunez, Gibbs,  Forshaw, Sorensen. 6 into two is excessive though it does give us options.

I wonder if they feel they need direct competition for Sara and McLean? Jury still out on Nunez perhaps? Gibbs to be loaned out? Does Sorensen really offer much other than being a brilliant jack of all trades on the bench?

Coventry fans mentioning McCallum going the other way, I guess they’d want a few quid too.

It's not two though is it. With Sargent likely out it's 6 into 3. And if you look at it like that, who plays in the advanced position?

[ZLF 281]

A gibbs or nunez loan would seem likely, 

Makes me feel we should have gone after krystian bielik after all.

[Captain Holt 522]

Every time I see Coventry he stands out. Would be very much up for this.

[AJ 1,235]

Would be a nice addition if the price is right

Idah takes Sargent's role, and we then assume that Sargent is out for a long period.

Even then, we have Rowe who can cover there as he has already shown when he pulls inside and runs the middle channel - see his goal on Saturday.

We'll have to see. If we add without losing a player I will be shocked. Forshaw makes sense as both he and Sorensen are defensively minded. I'm not sure we need both for how we are playing though. 

[cambridgeshire canary 6,870]

A classic number 10. Probably a backup bench option and not a regular player. Was once deeemd to have a bright future but has gone on to do nothing special. Decent at a championship level. Would be just ok.

If Fabrizio is reporting it then there's definitely something in it, the one journalist you can never accuse of laziness is him.

[hogesar 9,816]

Not had good numbers since he was very young with Wagner at Huddersfield.

But he has always stood out a bit when we've played them so maybe with better players around him?

Cov only signed him permanently last season, wonder what sort of price we are looking at?

[hogesar 9,816]

Paddy Davitt confirming nothing in this.

A lot of them don't seem to be that bothered.

Not really, many quite happy to get a few million for him. 

[Terminally Yellow 2,492]

They'll be disappointed as the Pink Un have said we don't hold an interest.

[Captain Holt 522]

The pinkun were also adamant that we were signing nobody once Max Aarons left. Since then we’ve signed three players.

[norfolkngood 1,097]

 

will Palmer be the 1st Jamaican we have signed since Cantwell ?

Nunez? Off barnes maybe

Palmer didn't seem a like-for-like replacement anyway. But Davitt isn't yet saying we won't be going for anyone. Waiting for an assessment of the damage and whatever steer he then gets from the club. Wagner's initial "we are pretty well covered line" was not definitive.

True.

Have you started to change your mind on Sargent yet? He looks capable of a 20 goal season or thereabouts in my book.

It is hardly fair that you remember my posts! My point has been that he is not a natural goalscorer, but on reflection I do think he is crucial to how we play, and we missed him when he went off.

Actually the post I am dreading being dredged up is my pre-season complaint that Rowe seemed to have a Hernandezesque ability to go down dead ends!

Haha, I just wondered! 

As for Rowe, it was the Kings Lynn friendly when I turned to a friend and said "there's something special there"

Of course, said friend cannot remember any such phrase uttered from my mouth!

They say confession is good for the soul:

"Really we would like to see Sainz start. I think he has been earmarked for the creativity role. As for Rowe, I am no judge of players but he looks to have a bit of a Hernandezesque penchant for blind alleys."
