Will we finally find anyone stupid enough to take him off our hands this summer? I do hope so.

He was probably the best player with Whelan in tackles and retain balls, but when u have to create the game, then he was the worst probably.

I'm drafting up a 'best of' dvd at the moment. Its short, but hopefully enough. It'll be in the post to Steve Bruce on monday.
Fingers crossed.

I think Sparky desperately wants Palacios to work in the middle. If you cast your mind back to the first 2-3 months of the season, Hughes tried virtually every combination of midfielders that didn't include Whelan. I don't know what it is but u always felt Hughes didn't really want to play Whelan especially when he first came.

I don't see it' I'd rather have Cameron in midfield let free than Palacios jogging around. I get what hughes is trying to do but versus Chelsea away? Umm no thanks.

No we won't.
We are stuck with him for one final season before his contract runs out.

I find him quite a strange player, he's very proactive for a defensive midfielder.

Palacios's agent had got him a move in January, but for some reason we decided not to let him go.

Without Ireland we have the slowest midfield in the prem. Whelan, palacios and adam are all so slow the opposition just stroll past them going through the pitch.
Vibrant, dynamic midfield. Would love it.

I'd love to get a proper right back and see how Cameron looks in that DM position. Great engine, good feet, can pass. Has at least some imagination and tries to make something happen when he finds himself in the final third.

We were pressed all over the pitch by Chelsea, by players with a lot of space, they were all caught with the ball too much, we don't look to bad against sides than lay off us, but the dallying on the ball by Palacios and Odemwingie etc.played into their hands.

I'm surprised this is even a debate. He's bloody awful.
Overweight, unfit, slow as an Ox, spends too much time on the deck, gives the ball away, if a player goes past him forget it he does, he's basically a walking liability who offers little to absolutely nothing to the team.
If he's still here come September someone needs their arse kicking.

I think his career ended when his brother died. It amazes me that nobody behind the scenes has pushed him out of the door (sympathy vote?) because all he has done is let grief destroy his career. Am I being harsh?
That's all well and good but, don't fucking waste some cracking wages at our club that we could be giving to someone that will actually give us some rewards.

For the first 20 minutes I thought he was immense! He was like a demon putting in tackles all over and covering for team mates losing the ball. I think letting Palacios go for less than £2-3M would be a big mistake by Stoke. Some of you are obviously looking for every small mistake he makes, but to be fair he has done quite well in the last games when given the chance! I think more games would only improve him!

Does he still get a game for Honduras. Hopefully he puts himself in the shop window.

I had high hopes after the Villa game but he was bloody awful yesterday.
You simply can't keep giving the ball away cheaply like that against anyone never mind a team like Chelsea.
Horror show stuff from Wilson (he wasn't alone mind).
