Palmer is a great player. But, he is potentially the least charismatic person I've ever seen
Yeah he’s really dull as dishwater.

Incredible football player though, spose that’s all that counts!
Bless him, I think he’s just not desperately bright.
awww....c'mon fellas.....he's a 22 year old kid.....how many 22 year olds do you know who get shoved in front of a TV camera and are asked to elucidate on their performance doing their job....hell most of them struggle to string a sentence together over the dinner table with their families without mumbling!!

Rooney wasn’t exactly bursting with charisma


Palmer is a massively talented player , young and clearly uncomfortable in front of a mic but very comfortable with the ball

Also good to see Sancho once again showing that he is a talented player

Agree entirely with your comments NJD. Perhaps a little shy at present and let his feet do the talking. Seem to recall Beckham could not string a sentence together y'know! He was far worse when all he managed in Madrid was Hola!

Just needs a good PR guy and I feel he will develop, hopefully .

Well said.

Nobody ever had a go at Stephen Hawking for being crap at football. Not sure why people are so quick to point out when footballers lack intelligence!
 
I’m perhaps being a little unfair on Palmer, but my mind keeps going back to an interview he did after a game last season, during which he’d shot just over the bar shortly before putting a worldy in the top corner.

When discussing the goal with Palmer, the interviewer said “It must have helped having a sighter a few minutes earlier?”

Looking utterly vacant, and in a classic lights on but nobody home moment, Palmer replied “What’s that mean?”

I just didn’t think it was a particularly testing question for a professional footballer.

🤔

So, you are agreeing with me then? I never mentioned Rooney, nor did I ever claim he was charismatic 🤷‍♂️

I agree, and in that competition, I still rate Palmer as least charismatic :ROFLMAO:

What does his charisma have to do with his footballing ability - it’s almost as if trying to search for a negative about him because it’s a player from another club

He is a great player and that’s all that should matter
 
Few sensitive people on here tonight. Maybe we should stick to a conversation people are more comfortable with, like who has the most punchable face. Or who's head looks like it is made of lego.
 
This is one of the weirdest things I've seen on here. Who the heck cares whether a player is Mr Personality? Mmm, choice between a jack the lad or a belter of a player? Odd, very odd.

Anyway, the lad has buckets of football personality. That second penalty 😍. That's what people pay money for.

Regardless of personal qualities, I’d have him at United in a heartbeat. Quality player.
