Those released. Where will they land?

Not unusual for ACL injuries, it isn't unheard of for 18 months out, a few years back it was career ending

I wonder if he'll be the same player.

Wasn't Jones' injuries ACLs? He seems to have come back fine. I think it is all to do with the physio team, planning. support, facilities and so on. We seem to be well covered there, and they seem to be respected and supported by the players and management. I think Palmer will come back in as good shape as he can be.

It is something that RM needs to keep in mind though when he is determining the size and shape of the squad. We don’t want another season starting with the bare minimum and hoping for the best.

I totally agree. I think we need at least 2 more CMs anyway, now Bostock and JoB have gone, to provide competition and allow rotation. I would be concerned starting the season with a midfield group of Crowley and Austin, and Robertson and Palmer covering attacking and defensive duties respectively.

Bajrami should be added to the defensive list, assuming he signs a new deal. But yes, two more to replace the two outgoing CMs is needed.

Good point. I hope he comes good, but he is already a year behind in learning L2. We may need to be patient.

Yep - that'll happen.
