Looks at his best as a proper number 10 right in the middle. Has struggled to play from a wide position at Chelsea.

Palmer’s progress while he was out injured meant he’s never getting in his preferred spot at Chelsea.

Could he play together with Bruno?
 
Yeah he’s not quite fit in the Chelsea system and I think he would fit in pretty nicely as a number 10 in an Amorim system.

However, I’ve read reports we’ve been quoted £70m which is a non-starter for me. He’s had his injury problems so think that would be a big gamble. I probably wouldn’t take him over keeping Garnacho either.
 
I mean that’s almost 50% more than they paid for him.

I think he was a release fee signing but in what world has his value gone up?

Honestly the price would be closer to half that. He’s 27 now so anyone who buys him is unlikely to get much of a sale at the end of it.
 
Can’t get in head of Palmer.

He’s a number 10 not a striker.
Came in for them as a striker. Do you not remember his embarrassing performances up top. He's a forward not a midfielder.

But be another pointless buy then. Not getting in ahead of Bruno.

Yeah no way is he worth £70m, like you say he's also had injury problems too. We have never seen the player from Leipzig at Chelsea

Never was an out an out striker for Leipzig. Granted he played there on occasion but his best position is that sort of inside forward position. Even when he scored that hat-trick for Leipzig at City it wasn’t as a striker.

Let’s be honest our attacking options are pretty poor, so getting in another body is a good idea. Like I said though the fee quoted is ridiculous but as a loan with an option wouldn’t be the worst.
 
Just keep Garnacho until the summer and try and make it work.

Agree with that. This season is a bit of a write so wouldn’t want us to make hasty transfer decisions now. Stumble our way to the end of the season and then get our act together then by shipping off the chaff and bringing in the right players.

A loan move would make a lot more sense for us.

We need an Antony replacement.

Still think this one is very unlikely to happen.

Yeah only way I would do it, permanent replacements I would take are Cunha/Mbuemo/Delap

None of them are Antony replacements they’re strikers.

I wouldn’t be looking at permanent signings in January we’d be paying a silly premium.

Cunha for me blows hot and cold I personally would swerve him.

What would you do in January as need something other than just signing Dorgu/Alvaro

We are so far back now we might as well just write the season off.

Save the money for the summer where it can probably be better spent.

I’d be looking for an attacking player on loan probably a number 10
 
At his best Nkunku is a very good player.

How much of that player is left after that knee injury who knows.

A 6 month loan with no obligation to buy wouldn’t be a terrible idea as we need some help.
 
Yeah he’s by no means terrible, it’s just one of those things where it hasn’t worked out at Chelsea. Bayern have always showed interest in him and they rarely buy terrible players!
 
Be an odd move for Bayern as they’ve got Musiala who’s a better player and younger.
 
Hé is terrible at what we need, a player who can score.
He's no better than what we have.
In fact I'd wager if we kept Garners he'd score more.
If this is the sort of player we are going for, it will prove nothing has changed and we have another set of clueless people in charge of transfers.

Who should we look at getting on loan?
 
Why get another player to sit behind the striker when we don't have any strikers who are scoring goals?

We need a goalscorer.

The number 10s need to score goals.

We are just very short of players in those spots. If Garnacho/Rashford go then it’s Bruno, Amad and Mount. Given 1 of them is injured all the time we have to have options

We have 2 strikers think we all know they aren’t good enough but that’s a problem to fix in the summer.
 
Who should we look at getting on loan?

That’s the million pound question.

I don’t have a clue as I don’t watch enough football outside of the prem to know who might even be available on loan.

Reality is a loan signing will be someone who is struggling to get much playing time at their current club.
 
I think Brighton would loan Ferguson but they’d want assurances he would play.
 
Well Rasmus isn't exactly starting

Yeah but do we really want to develop their talent and screw over our own.

If we went for Ferguson we’d have to have an option to buy him at the end.
