It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Don't forget the ultimate put down, '"spoilt".

Have you forgotten we won the treble already???

Akanji.

Ake,I'd add Bernardo and Rodri to a certain extent.

I get your point - doesn't make a lot of sense to buy project players when we have project players at home - but I'd definitely argue that the players you've listed have more top level experience then any of our youth players. They've also had more of an impact in their leagues than either Palmer or Bobb, at the same age, while playing for Rennes, Lyon & Celta Vigo. This might be why we are rumoured to be interested in them and people then gravitate to highlight reels, which show skills, goals & assists in the first teams. Doku's also played for the national team and plays unlike the others.

Palmer needs to be playing more minutes and loan would be great for him to get that. Bobb should stay in the squad and get cup minutes - he seems really calm on the ball.

Yep, that is pretty much my point. Agree Bobb should stay. I don't think a loan for Palmer makes sense anymore. It did, when Mahrez was here. Now it is sell and use the funds to bring in a player who can start, or give him a real chance this season.

Is that something you think yourself, or are guessing the club thinks, out of interest.

I said, I don't know how good these players are so suggested to the poster who asked, if we are looking at youngsters over what we already have maybe because the club do

 

[Coatigan]

That’s the most boring cliché of the transfer window. I read “shiny new toy”

That's the thing about clichés. Most have a degree of truth to them.

I wonder if all these issues could be solved by a simple question when you sign up:

Is the glass half-full or half empty?

No judgement, as it's simply different ways that people think, but split us off into different forums, and the world would probably seem a much more agreeable place all round :)

Why is it that 19-21 year old players like doku, viega, cherki, barcola who play in second rate teams, can be moulded by Pep, but players like Palmer, Bobb, of a similar age playing for a top club and already learning from Pep, can't?

Don't get me wrong, I think we need a serious player to replace Mahrez, who was a top player coming to the end of his prime. And I just don't think Palmer or Bobb are ready to play that significant a role for us. But I also don't get the excitement over these young, untested, unproven players who also imo are nowhere near the level needed.

Because not all our young players are as good as we think, some are overrated and at the moment Palmer comes under that category.

Palmer is a huge talent but last season was very disappointing and his career stagnated.

He badly needs regular game time, he won't get it with us.

Except the world isn’t really divided by that binary answer. It’s the multitude that makes conciliation impossible

Palmer needs a season long loan at somewhere like Palace, West ham or Everton

I wouldn't let any of our players anywhere near managers like Moyes or Dyche

Perhaps a separate category for people who take jokes too seriously ;)
