Head hurts thinking about this one. Not great.

Ozz, he has since clarified.

I know sorry I meant I took his post as a dry piss take.


Sanchez and Palacios in front of Senderos and Vlaar with Cissokho and Hutton at full back. It would be bruising.

If it does happen, I am hoping he is simply cover for the inevitable 'Dirty' Sanchez.

I'm up for it, sod it, I've seen enough of us getting bullied to last me a lifetime.

[Brend'Watkins]

All I know about Palacios is that he ran the show for Stoke when they slaughtered us last season. 

[ozzjim]

I had that thought too Lee.

Looks like were aiming to top the bad discipline league seeing as we won't be making the Sky big spenders league this year

Yes.  We go from a midfield with a soft under belly to a 6 pack overnight.  I'd take that.

Looks a bit like the Maginot line to me

Maybe Lambert's thinking behind this is that he knows Sanchez is prone to few bookings and he possibly see's Palacios coming off the bench to take him off before he see's red?
This makes sense because pretty much without Sanchez's aggression and walking a fine line on a yellow card will again give no protection to the back four.

What is this ITK actually based on? Is it just twitter rumours?

[kippaxvilla2]

There's an article on it now.

I think I'd prefer Herd as back-up to Rocky rather than Palacios - the signing would be about 4 years too late
