Maybe he doesn’t want to sign a new deal? Forest would be a decent move for him - division higher and won’t have to up route. I’d cash in what we can now and thank him for his services Every player had a price. What price would you want for us to cash in on Palmer now though?

Yet remarkably would still be a Championship club on merit if it wasn’t for the stupid points deduction. We actually have decent cover across defence now. Moving Iorfa to right back if Hunt gets injured isn’t the end of the world. We still have Dunkley and Gibson to fill in there. If Palmer wants to leave I suggest we move on and make a bit of money on him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a year left on his deal, for a player of his ability I think 500k would be reasonable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmJimmers Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Palmer is going to be on first team wages, and probably isn't going to be a first team player. Do people think it would be a sensible business option to keep a player like that, who could well run down his contract and leave for nothing (sounds familiar), or sign him up again on first team wages and not play? We have Iorfa that can play there if needed, or one of the youngsters, or go out and get a cheap replacement. It'll really show we haven't learnt the lessons of the past decade if we keep him on to not play and run his contract down. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple O Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 18 hours ago, mark77 said: Selling Palmer instantly improves our squad instantly because he's a liability. Doesn't track back well. Gets on the wrong side of his man too often. Doesn't score anywhere near enough goals. Anyone who truly understands the game and watches closely will know he's not good enough and never has been. Seems you just excluded yourself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I can see an argument for £500k plus. I'd hope for a bit more personally and certainly I'd not want us to be letting him go for any less.

elyowl1 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Talked to a few Forest mates they seem to think there skint unless they sell , Houghton not making the transfer decisions (sounds familiar) and are in need of a left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S70 Owl Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 This is where we need to learn from past seasons. Forest offer anything upwards of 300k and we should sell. Granted he's a good player at this level. But i don't think he is essential for success this season. Brown, Johnson and Galvin all able to play in that position. Last year of contract. 29 Years old one of the higher earners now probably. Worst case we sign a new left back in January. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 1 hour ago, Owly Mowly said: I wouldn’t be surprised if he is one of the players discussing a contract extension this week That's the key, if he's not in Moore's long term plans (which is not certain given he replaced him at RB with Hunt and has brought in other LB's) then a sale is a good deal. In fact, possibly a good deal all round for player and club. if Moore wants him and he wants to stay, great. If not, now is a good time to sell, realise a transfer fee and put some wages back in the budget. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
