Guest hirstysfags Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Carlton desperate to stay relevant. He needs to go off into the sunset and leave it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sham67 Posted May 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2022 Two very different players, but you can’t argue with Palmer on that one. 34 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post stuben Posted May 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2022 Carlton Plamer was definitely at a different level, premier league and England player. But there is just no need for his comments. The most that we can ask is a player to give their all at the level they are playing, and Barry Bannan does this most game 38 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Kidneys Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Spot on Carlton. Good player is Bazza & far and away our best player right now ... but not in the same league as CP. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Is there any context to these comments? I assume Palmer hasn't just woken up and decided to lay into Bannan? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post striker Posted May 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2022 Two very different players and two very different eras of football. Today's game is much faster, technical ability improved all round and more physically demanding. Maybe Carlton's athleticism would be diminished in the modern game for for example? Why feel the need to make a comparison? If there was a need, surely the comparison would be between Bannan and Sheridan? In any event, players can only excel in the time period they play in, can't time travel. Both fondly thought of by fans, seems a pointless and potentially divisive comment. 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrs Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 5 minutes ago, areNOTwhatTHEYseem said: Is there any context to these comments? I assume Palmer hasn't just woken up and decided to lay into Bannan? To be fair, Carlton’s reaction does seem a bit OTT. The tweet that started it only seemed to be saying Sheridan and Bannan were the same type of player… then someone tags Carlton in to say he was the perfect partner and in he wades! Love them both but a whole career at the top level, 18 England caps, cup finals, and transfer fees that in todays money would equate to about £30-40m and there’s no question who the better player was. Carlton’s not the most humble charming guy is he lol. Btw I was on the next treadmill to him at the gym the other week… still in fantastic shape for a guy in his mid-50s - Carlton’s not bad either 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philb125 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Even the biggest Bannan fan knows this so it kind of goes without saying. So it’s probably best not saying from Carlton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JemmoJemoJemmo Posted May 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2022 He’s right. looking at prices being quoted for Rice and Phillips there’s no way that in todays market Palmer and Sheridan don’t go for £30m-£50m each. They we’re on a completely different level to Bannan. Not quite sure of the context and why he has to say it though. Lets face it you could go through the team comparing it to the early 90’s and say the same about the lot. We came 3rd and then 7th getting to both cup finals. Man Utd offered a British record transfer fee for Hirst so he’d be going for £100m+, Nilsson would go for at least what Kyle Walker did etc etc. Different team, different times. I just sympathise with everybody under 30 that has no memory of us ever being good. 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Think Palmer trolling a bit. Games has changed a lot over last 30 years and Bannan and Palmer are two different midfield players. Like someone else has said a fairer comparison would be Bannan and Sheridan. But Palmer, Sheridan and any other regular player from early 90s its aa level above anything we have in days team but that is hardly earth shattering when we are in Division 3. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriginalAlien Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Carlton was a very good, if not great player for us, but now I really wish he'd just shut the F up. His comments frequently come across as divisive, antagonistic and attention seeking. It's really not needed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Uniform Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Bannan never struggled in the Championship either. Just couldn't drag forward the mess that was around him, as his stats clearly showed. His only flaw is his loyalty, which of course I am not complaining about. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
