    I’ll be honest, I know next to nothing about Palmer, so will have to take the opinions from others until I’ve seen him. Supposedly good set-piece delivery and creative, yet only has 6 assists in his last 4 seasons.

    I’m open to persuasion but those stats don’t look great

    We have donaldson, doyle and Vaughan on the books. We haven’t topped up the budget (apparently).....loans are the only realistic way to improve our squad unless dropping luck with a trialist.

    Very good loan for a player rated at Rotherham - they just have stronger options. Very happy.

    I like the recall clause because if he isn't fitting in or is playing sheite then we can send him back and get another in. Can't we?

    But if he’s doing so well then we have benefitted too. If they don’t consider recalling him it means he might not be doing well.

    Burke was a one month loan, extended on a monthly basis 'til the october, november he was injured and was treated at WHU, then returned to City on loan 'til January, then a six month loan.
    Different rules then

    Put another way, I’d rather AO’C, Riley, Patrick and McCartan were signed on loan....!

    West Ham had a recall clause in at least the Cullen deal. I remember it being discussed all through January.

    So lucky he's playing in Div 2.

    He has to prove he's good enough for league 2 now.

    Why does he need to prove it when he helped Burton get promoted from this league, and league 1?

    I particularly agree with your last line. Well in respect, many of the new signings fall into that category, in fairness.

    I noticed he signed for Rotherham for a fee when they was in League 1, signing from Burton.

    I have to admit I'm puzzled by this lad..

    Went out on loan to Oldham in Burtons promotion season , yet the following season when Burton were in the Championship, played 3/4 of games. Its a head scratcher.

    On face value, played a good percentage of games across a season with the exception of last season in the Championship.

    I think it was @BoingBoing@BoingBoing whom commented on his lack of assists and goals, which I initially thought "Meh" but the compilation from 2016, which you correctly alluded to, raised expectations.

    Definitely a head scratcher!

    Hope it's a successful loan for both player and club.

    Thanks for the response.

    How weird. I replied to @Rogered Tart@Rogered Tart above, basically questioning attitude (with no genuine substance, so basically quessing!) and was thinking of Vaughan when replying. Particular in respect to the Sunderland fan on here whom lambasted his attitude. If he was down the pecking order at a league 1 club behind Pitman and Bogle, why the drop to the basement league again? Surely, if he was good enough and his attitude was good enough, he would have suitors in League 1?

    Anyhow, quessing on my part aside, reasoned response and I particular agree on your last sentence.

    Excellent response. And you highlight a potential flaw in my thinking, its not just about the individual components which I'm emphasising upon...
