He times his runs beautifully too, dare I say he reminds of Lampard the way he ghosts into the area behind defences.

No, lets not, ever.

Should of scored in the first half yesterday. After the goal at Luton it was probably too easy for him lol.

As expected he looked completely wasted there, I don't understand why he insists on playing so many out of position.

On a separate note, just watching Liverpool against Fulham at the momnet. No TTA tonight so Klopp pis playing a young RB as a.......well, as a RB. No playing a CB in there or going some random sort of wing back thing, no just went to the cupboard and rooted around for the other available RBs and pulled out the next one.

I belive we have 4 (?) adult squads each with all of the positions populated. Not hard really.

It’s because he’s a hipster.

You’re not cool and trendy if you don’t play them out of position

Palmer as emergency 9 is not a problem.

It really is, complete waste of time. Stop trying to fit players in, put them in the position they are best in, put a striker in at 9, put Palmer where he belongs, out a LB at LB, not RW.

A new shining star of the ripe old age of 18 has arrived at Cobham, we can give him a try?

@ValerieI used to be excited when we sign young player. Now, I really don't care, there are simply too many of them.

I'm now building up excitement for the moment - if it will ever come - when we sign an experienced player!

Excellent JFK eps, I thought. Always had my doubts but I think they convinced me there was no conspiracy.

Wonder if Pep is having regrets about letting Palmer leave? Would be great if he could let us have Oscar Bobb too.

And Rodri.

Pep's policy is to release players who don't want to stay at the club. Palmer wanted out to get game time. He was down the pecking order behind the myriad other experienced options. MC doesn't miss him.

Doubt it, as good as Palmer has been for us i doubt he would be getting many minutes at City still.

They are doing something right in their scouting. That Oscar Bobb goal was vintage City academy. 

They have a habit of producing attackers whereas Cobham produces defenders.

It reminds me of Barcelona's academy. Training young players to play the way they expect their first team will play.

This.

Will Palmer start over? 

Doku, Grealish, foden, silva, kdb, Alvarez? Nope.

I don't know, I could see him getting in ahead of Doku and Grealish. Doku blows hot and cold, and Grealish isn't anything special at City. At the same time though, they play on the left and Palmer plays on the right or centrally. The ones he would be competing against are Silva, De Bruyne and Foden. Silva and De Bruyne are on another level, but I think over time, he can overtake Foden.
