It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

[Kamaro011]

It's just his agent putting the rumor so the player could get favourable deal with his contract extension.

 

[HelloCity]

Palmer looks like won't be good enough to play for us in future,

Day-um. That’s some assessment.

 

[Paladin]

Silva WILL be playing in barcalona this coming season.





In the friendly only - they can’t touch him, not enough money, not enough wages space, even if FDJ is moved on.

Bernardo moving makes no sense for him. It must be most player's ambition to win the CL, and he has no better chance of winning this than at City.

 

[PabZabb]

Palmer will be a better player than Saka

And by some distance!

 

[Damocles]

Day-um. That’s some assessment.

I probably should have put "he won't be good enough to be a big player for us" rather than that tbf.

 

[Keeper!]

I'm not the best person to ask, to be honest. I'm too scared to check my wage slips most of the time.

cash is king ;)

Both statements are codswallop tbf!

Good, too shit for us.

Mate and I spent one summer holidays learning the lyrics in the verse. Can still sing them now with a beer in me, 40 years later

How they got away with:
’and I give the dog a bone’ still makes me piss my sides to this day - and I remember it first time round on pink vinyl.
My favourite ever band.

We will find out in the next couple of years hope your wrong…

Palmer looks like won't be good enough to play for us in future, which is no insult to him. Saying he's not going to be one of the top 5 in his position in world football isn't an insult. Or he might become great after a couple hundred Prem games or so and develop late. But he's not currently good enough to slot into our team and the fact that some of you are using Palmer who has played maybe 1 proper senior competitive game in his pro career against Everton and was out of position, to someone like Saka who has 20 England caps, 100 PL games and was playing in a Euros recently is absolutely bonkers. Playing against Burnley/coming on while 3-0 up is not experience you can judge off and even if it was, he's played about 4 or 5 times doing that. He was great in the Carabao against League One sides - again not something you can really judge on. So frankly I have absolutely no idea what some of you are using to get so carried away with him.

I've been watching since he was 15. He's good, I like him, I think he can be a good squad player for us. He's not world class and I don't see any particular signs that that is something that will develop. He reminds me of a lot of Barcelona youth players who were going to be world class until they left Pep and ended up at Stoke. He's better than Stoke but I don't see him in that elite level talent and I'm not sure why anybody does apart from wild optimism or misunderstanding the standard of the PL2.

Smith-Rowe is going to be better than both of them put together but as a friend of mine says, y'all ain't ready for that conversation yet.

I vehemently reject the implication that palmer won't be good enough to play for us in the future, that saka is a better talent than him, that smith rowe is a better talent than him, that there aren't signs that he will develop into a monster. all of those things, respectfully, are your opinion and nothing more, and I think are very very wide off the mark.

you cannot present those opinions as facts, it's merely your take

 

[loio]

If that happens the Ney stuff will be put to bed.. contract until 24. I didnt think they would go for a winger until next summer though or at the earliest the winter window, that usually how Man City operates, its more of an organic process.
Still doubt.

some pulling power you have @93.20blue

So 100 appearances and 20 England caps Saka is currently better than Palmer who has 1 professional start in his career outside the Carabao. And that's controversial to you is it?

Was it the grand total of 45 minutes he's played in the CL across 5 games, all of which we had a commanding lead, that convinced you?

What exactly are you judging this from?

 

[SWPISHOME]

Bet365 have absolutely no Neymar betting at all now.

Honestly if this was happening the Brazilian media would be all over it and there's absolutely no mention of it anywhere.

It's no happening

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Would love to see him. Saw Stewart Francis about 5 years ago and I was crying with laughter

And as I was swimming back to shore…

 

[Dadsupportedthem]

Palmer has a wicked bloody shot, which is something a lot of other players never have.

I didn't say palmer is *better* than saka, I said I believe he is a better talent than saka, which is very much different. you're arguing against something I never said.

He said talent, which I would presume to mean a higher ceiling. If Palmer came through at Arsenal do you think his caps and appearances might be different? I do.
