He’d be an excellent signing. We should always be signing the best young English players

That's the gamble you take, Palmer would never be given the freedom he now has at City as for Macatee, similar, given the freedom he may well shine, time will tellBit concerned it’ll be palmer 2.0

Agree. We should be all over Tyler Dibbling also.He’d be an excellent signing. We should always be signing the best young English players

Problem is these clubs will demand absolute ridiculous fees for what are good young players but with a lot to prove.

He's no better than Wright and O'Reilly for me, Wharton is a bit further along in his progression though his injury this season is a worry.

Not sure how you’ve reached that conclusion, especially with O’Reilly, who has about 10 games under his belt as a 6 ever. He was a forward last season.He's no better than Wright and O'Reilly for me, Wharton is a bit further along in his progression though his injury this season is a worry.

That could be the case. Wright in particular looks like a really good player. Could this signing basically spell the end of him getting a chance?He's no better than Wright and O'Reilly for me, Wharton is a bit further along in his progression though his injury this season is a worry.
Could we save ourselves 50m

I was on about Dibling, I'm sure either of our lads I mentioned could have similar impact given the minutes. I agree O'Reilly isn't a 6 but Wright looks a perfect fit in that role. Dibling isn't a defensive midfielder either he plays on the wing. I was comparing more their age profile.
I also think Wharton would struggle if we intended to play him as a lone defensive midfielder. They are big shoes to fill for a 20 year old new to the team and I've not seen nearly enough evidence of his defensive abilities to be confident he could do the job. You sign Wharton for his ability to play passes through the lines at a quick one touch tempo, that's what I've seen from him that sets him apart and caught my attention as a potential top class midfielder.
If we get him it's as well as another midfielder or we leave him until the Summer imo. Think it's gonna be Zubimendi, Ederson or Hjulmand for DM
