He’s already played 75 games at age 21 with quite a few in the PL. So it’s not like he’s had no games at all, Think it’s worth it for him to stay a couple of years, learn from the best and see what transpires and move on if he needs still aged under 24Well yes but that isn't really his problem, its another season of his career down the pan which isn't good. He also hasn't signed a new contract yet.
There are opportunities, yes. I just don't really see Pep giving them to him, despite what he says.
His default subs are always going to be several players ahead of James. It’s just the unfortunate reality, in my opinion of course.
One of those times where I don't like the source but I'm posting it anyway.
Completely agree, there is no doubt he is a talented player, he just needs the games. Pep's recent comments shows he believes in the player and a new contract will be warranted.Really pleased that he's staying, and delighted for him if reports of a new deal are true. Hopefully with the additional games this season he'll get opportunities.
Glad we turned down.
Do think Palmers an unbelievable advert for the Academy and no wonder other clubs are trying their luck.
Hopefully he signs a new contract in a couple of seasons, Foden, Rico, McAtee and Bobb could all be first team players
I'm so glad we're in a position whereby we can afford to keep our youngsters, unlike a lot of other clubs - and unlike us when we had to part ways with SWP all those years ago.
I love this squad currently. Don't get me wrong. But seeing local academy players (and Bobb!) embedded into it would take it to another level!
