Some more Palacios quotes from today's press conference... www.sportinglife.com/football/premiership/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/12/03/29/SOCCER_Stoke_Nightlead.html&TEAMHD=premiership&BID=312"After the first month, we knew it was going to be a while," Pulis said.
"We knew that it would take patience as much as anything to get Wilson through a period where not only did we get him fit, but also that we didn't work him so hard that it affected his knee.
"But he has looked sharp in training and he has got himself together a little bit more.
"We still have to be careful with him, so we won't get the best out of him until next year I don't think.
"(He played well) for a period (against City), and that is what we are doing for the moment, playing him just for periods of time.
"We still don't think he is ready for 90 minutes (regularly) and we will do it the way we think is the best way to do it, in respect of the medical advice we are getting."
"He joined with an injury that needed a lot of care and attention and that is what we have given him," Pulis said.
"I think we have seen signs and patches of his quality within games that he has played in or come on in.
"But the important thing is that we see him through this period and that he doesn't pick up another injury to set him back, because that would be really soul destroying for him."Would it be reading too much into things to infer a mental fragility in WP from that? |

I think the impatience is with not being told the facts sooner.At least it is with me.
I do not think Palacios is totally to blame,reading between the lines in what Pulis says the knee injury has been pretty bad and difficult to get right without putting to much pressure on the joint.

Maybe, although my interpretation is that the comments suggest that it's more a physical problem due to his injury, it's been my long standing belief that the problem with Palacios's fitness is mental as much as physical. |

Either way he's a very expensive substitute.
