Just saw on sky a discussion around Palmer wanting to join Man Utd? Say it ain't so.

Apparently home sick. I can’t see Man Utd paying £160m plus for him or any player.
Last season it was PSG (Manchester) that wanted him.
If a player ain’t happy, sell him is my attitude towards any player.

As Tom has said many times on here, we are a buying and selling business, not a football club, di yes, anything is possible.

Bill, if it’s true then this is different, we don’t keep unhappy players.

I don’t think many clubs keep unhappy players as I said recently if a player wants out they usually get the move. I fully expect Palmer to go in the summer. I always say players and coaches come and go. I would be very sorry to see Cole go, for me he has been the most entertaining and game changing player we have had since Eden.
No doubt we will make a big profit but we are unlikely to replace him with a player of similar quality and probably fritter it away on young players. Reece has 2 years left on his contract; don’t be surprised if he isn’t looking at pastures new.

Reece is Chelsea. If we got relegated I’d expect he’d stay with us. Cole is a very good player, who is having a stop start year and may need surgery to fix whatever is wrong. No guarantee he returns to his best although would love to give him the chance to become a legend here.
If he requests a transfer due to missing Manchester, it’s a good thing he got signed onto a long deal last year.

Newspaper tosh! He certainly wasn’t homesick when he signed that multi, multi year contract. He’s had a frustrating season, with injuries and the impact they’ve had on form, and has struggled to hide that frustration. Newspapers have used that to create this rhetoric.

Wonder whether he may still need surgery or whether that option off then table until after the World Cup?
