Can’t help thinking that is a massive mistake on the part of the club, and huge lack of ambition from Palmer!!

you certainly can't help thinking that Palmer will be back in the Championship next season but I guess he's been given the opportunity to play in the Premier League and possibly the chance to impress for a more substantial move later on. I also suspect that the club (Albion) think that with Griffiths they have a very able replacement, as well as a pipeline of younger, and talented. keepers coming through; and, of course, as Palmer is a product of the Academy, any fee is straight profit.

I guess it was a decision based more upon freeing up funds to invest in a position where we are definitely lacking - up front - and taking advantage of a position - goalkeeping - where they feel we are relatively strong. Personally, I think Palmer is an excellent keeper and I'm very sorry to see him leave but I can see the logic
