They're similar ages, with similar stats who will probably be on similar wages - if not then Hunt will probably be on more. We've just had a clear out this summer and last of squad members who were on too high wages for what we needed. It took us about 2/3 years to get to a point where we could. People have been understandably moaning about it for ages. So the first chance we get to sign somebody we're going to sign someone who isn't much of an upgrade, in a position where we are fine, on first team wages? I just cant get my head around it. If Palmer goes, yes please bring him in, he will be decent at this level. But if he's going to eat into budget when we don't need him then we have been doing that since DC has been here, and it hasn't worked. If you look back through the Jack Hunt threads you'll see people saying Palmer should have been started ahead of Jack Hunt But the usual hate deniers will deny THAT happened too 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I think if you do bump a thread from when Hunt left most people would be saying that Palmer isn't good enough and we need a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way you’re going off is as if Hunt was booed every week and all fans wanted him gone. But I think for balance, some didn’t rate him and thought we needed better. And some actually thought he was decent. When we sold Hunt, I naively thought we’d replace him with someone better. But we didn’t and it’s quickly emerged over the past 3/4 years that Chansiri didn’t have the funds, experience or ability to keep the club challenging towards the top of the Championship. Since Hunt left we have a squad completely unbalanced, unmotivated and lacking in numbers. We’re also now in a League below. For context Hunt would be a solid signing in the circumstances. And that’s fine! Even if some bloke booed him once at an away game in 2016. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who posted how bad he was? I don't remember that happening" (Because we all know that saying 'I don't remember that happening' will make us all forget) Then we'd get "Nobody ever booed him or posted how crap he was??" etc etc Then I'd have to bump the topics and posts where he did, only for someone to then bump a load of topics / posts where he got praised, and so on and so on It's so painful I know he got booed and people posted saying he was crap THEY know he got booed and people posted saying he was crap WE ALL KNOW he got booed and people posted saying he was crap But it's 2021 And in 2021 people just post 'Eh? That didn't happen? I don't ever remember that happening?' (when they DID remember it really) Absolutely nuts and a total waste of time because every single time we can just find the posts where people booed and posted that he was crap Well I liked him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those saying it’s a no brainer can you explain it please? When he was here last time everyone slated him When he left everyone was mocking how bad he was at his new club So how is he now a no brainer?? ‘Everyone slated him’ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d to invest in other areas of the team Not if we can’t find another left back who we deem good enough. Hunt comes as right back and Palmer can play left. It’s going to be the Wednesday way anyway. We all debate it, people say we shouldn’t sign him, not good enough, wrong type signing etc… Then signs for someone in the Championship on double the money we offered.

BIG D Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Weirdly Palmer is a better left back than right. He does need to give his game a kick up the @rse though. Fed up of seeing him jog back over the half way line. Something you could never level at Hunt. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Improves the team, not in the areas we need, but never the less, welcome back. Good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Very happy with that. There are no guarantees in football of course, but he's been a very solid Championship right-back for years now, and looks even better whenever I've seen him in the wing-back role it looks like we may be using. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) He's only 30. He's played most of his time in the Champ but has experience of League One. He's been here before, knows the place, crowd, some of the players and he's a good pro who would have likely been on the radar of a few Champ clubs. If any other club in League One had picked him up, we'd have been saying what a good signing. Edited July 22, 2021 by SiJ 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Down South Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Good signing if wages are sensible. Allows Palmer to leave if anyone is genuinely interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
