But therein lies the problem.No it isn’t great,but basically a player needs to go on-loan to a P/L club and perform how Palmer has for chelsea, make themselves un droppable at their loan club. To make us want them back instead of buying somebody.
Palmer asked to go on loan and was told he couldn't.
Had he gone on loan and produced the performances he did, we might have him back with us now.
But going by other loans, it is doubtful we would have kept him.
Two others, Doyle and THB, also went on loan with an option to buy.
