I think Palmer has the talent, but not the drive. When given his chance he's looked sluggish, as opposed to Foden who nearly always busted a gut.He needs to go out on loan as I just think he isn't really kicking on as much as he should be doing.
It's hard to compare him to Foden, but he looks miles off Foden's ability and doesn't seem to be following that path to the first team. I think for his benefit, playing at Brighton really would do him good as they seem to have a real knack of developing players.
I've only seen him play for City, not the reserves. I know it's not a popular opinion but I'm not sure he's good enough for us. Unless something spectacular happens with him, I just don't see him anywhere near the level we need.
It's a stylistic thing. Palmer is more like Havertz. They are languid by nature. It's not an effort or lack thereof thing. They are just built different.I think Palmer has the talent, but not the drive. When given his chance he's looked sluggish, as opposed to Foden who nearly always busted a gut.
If it wasn't Foden's day, he'd make up for it with lung bursting effort. I never saw the same from Palmer. I think he needs a loan so he can see the other side of being a football pro.
A loan might just be the wake up call he needs.
To be fair, Pep himself told Foden to calm down at some points. And even in one of the important away match in CL last season, Pep said he cannot sub Foden in because he's too energized, which may not good for the team while we are trying to control the temper of an away game.I think Palmer has the talent, but not the drive.

Do you know if loan or permanent?I'm told Burnley could be soon making a move.
Perfect for a lad who would prefer to maintain his local roots.
Doesn't want to leave home? Fair enough, but to me it says he's happy being a 'sub' at City rather than making his own career by starting every week elsewhere.I'm told Burnley could be soon making a move.

Loan I hope?I'm told Burnley could be soon making a move.
